Therapy for Couples
The heart of a fulfilling relationship is rooted in the way partners communicate and connect with each other. At B&B Well Counseling, couples therapy is a dedicated place to bridge the gaps created by basic communication differences. Whether you wish to enhance intimacy, improve active listening, or master assertive communication, our approach, grounded in the esteemed Gottman Method, offers a research-based roadmap to a stronger partnership.
The Gottman Method
Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the Gottman Method is a therapeutic approach that encourages respectful, affectionate communication between partners, turning towards each other rather than away. It is a structure designed to help couples fortify their relationship through:
Conflict Resolution
Understand and manage conflict discussions calmly.
Fondness & Admiration
Revive elements of friendship and deepen emotional connection.
Shared Meaning
Create an environment of mutual understanding and appreciation.
How Couples Therapy Helps
Every couple's journey is unique. That’s why our couples therapy sessions are tailored to meet you where you are. Whether it's enhancing communication, managing financial stress, rebuilding trust, or finding common ground in parenting, our therapists are equipped with the knowledge and compassion to support you.
Customized Approach for Diverse Needs
-
These activities are carefully tailored to fit couples with the aim of enhancing your listening skills. We guide you through the art of truly hearing your partner, beyond just the words spoken, to foster empathy and understanding within your relationship.
-
Intimacy extends beyond the physical—it’s about emotional closeness and understanding as well. Our sessions focus on reviving the emotional and physical connection, ensuring that both partners feel valued and connected.
-
Learn to express your needs and desires clearly without offense or passivity. Our training empowers couples to communicate assertively, fostering respect and assertiveness without tipping into aggression.
-
Money matters are often a source of contention. Our counseling sessions help partners develop a shared vision and strategies for managing finances.
-
Trust is the cornerstone of any relationship. When it's shaken, it takes careful work to restore. Our therapists provide a safe space for open dialogue and employ trust-building exercises that stem from the Gottman Method principles, helping couples to slowly rebuild the foundation of trust that is essential for a healthy relationship.
-
Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging experiences a couple can share. Our workshops focus on harmonizing parenting styles and creating a co-parenting alliance that upholds the well-being of the children and the couple. We draw on Gottman Method strategies to help partners navigate the complexities of parenting as a team.
