Therapy for Couples

couples large

Our love relationships have the potential to be our most nourishing resources. But often, the attachment styles developed as children weigh upon our ability to offer and receive love as adults. Brian Kimmel Counseling Center treats neither partner as the "client", instead considering the relationship as the client. By listening to each of you and observing your interactions in session, your therapist will help you discover the predictable cycles that keep you feeling stuck or disconnected. Rather than be handed a script to follow at home, you'll be able to work on your relationship patterns as they occur in real-time in the therapy session, using traditional talk therapy as well as creativity, movement, and other neuro-informed approaches including nervous system regulation, our capacity to respond to stress without feeling overwhelmed.

You will learn to identify your reactions at the moment and recognize the core needs creating them. You will also learn to communicate your needs with your partner without getting angry or shutting down. Through our work you will develop rich insight, gaining freedom from unconscious fears and habitual cycles. As a result of transforming a conflict-ridden relationship into one that activates the healing potential of love and the freedom and joy that comes with it.
