Christian-Based Couples Counseling

Service Description

We joke about marriage being God’s great conspiracy to reveal our weaknesses. However, if you think about it, there is a lot of truth to that statement. You should have conflict as a couple because you aren’t the same person. You didn’t grow up in the same family of origin, experience the same triggers, or hold the same expectations about life and relationships. That’s the perfect storm for conflict. It’s what you do when you find yourselves in a conflict that says everything about the relationship moving forward. To get to the root of what triggers the two of you, we enter your world with a series of assessments. The purpose is to understand how you interact with each other and where your pain points are. We call this process evidence-based assessment. It involves the therapist identifying your respective personalities, needs, and what triggers you. What’s important to the therapist is how each of you works to get your needs met. It is the therapist's responsibility to create psychological safety for you to make the initial investment of being open and vulnerable with the assessment process in order to create the groundwork for a more positive and long-lasting outcome for the therapeutic journey.
