Couples Therapy

You may be wondering, will couples therapy really make a difference? How will talking to someone change all the hurt or the loneliness I feel?

Some of the reasons that couples seek out relationship therapy is because they no longer enjoy spending time with their spouse, or it seems like every time they talk it turns into an argument. Others also complain of feeling distant and disconnected from one another.

The effectiveness of couples therapy or marriage counseling depends on the timing of seeking assistance, motivation, and the motives of both partners. We help couples find their best friend again while learning how to talk with each other so that they both feel heard and understood. John Gottman can predict divorce with 94% accuracy by identifying the warning signs.

But THERE IS HOPE! And this hope is the reason that couples therapy can be very effective.

Communication is something we learn, so you can change your behavior and it will change your relationship. The key is to strengthen the friendship that is the foundation of your relationship.

At Lyons Center LLC, we provide intensive relationship therapy using the Gottman Institute’s treatment model and assessment tools. Couples or marriage counseling generally takes 8-10 sessions depending on your specific needs.

We have helped many couples over the years with a variety of issues such as communication, conflict, parenting, blended families, infidelity, betrayal trauma, and more.
