Couple Therapy
Relationships can bring great pleasure to life. However, conflict and communication struggles are often a unpleasant part of relationships and can create disagreements and distance. Without effective problem solving skills, problems can become too big and not allow room for couples to be happy in their relationships. When couples are having challenges in their relationship—issues that they just can’t seem to get past on their own— Couples Therapy is a service that can help.
Couples often say that they want close, intimate relationships. However, Intimacy isn’t something that couples just have that’s built into their relationships. It’s something couples consciously create. Part of creating this intimacy is a willingness to be vulnerable, empathetic, show up honestly, and hold yourself accountable. This may seem easier said than done. Dr. Zeising can assist you along the path towards fostering these skills and creating an intimate and fulfilling relationship that lasts the tests of time.
The focus of Couples Therapy is to provide a setting in which both partners can feel safe to honestly explore their feelings and work on reaching a deeper understanding of each other’s’ needs. Couples can learn to skillfully and honestly assert their own needs while, at the same time, also honoring their partner’s needs. You will be able to build intimacy and connection without sacrificing each of your individual identities.
In Couples Therapy, couples can clear up past issues, so that they can concentrate on improving their present situation. Old habits and patterns of negative interaction can be replaced by healthier and more positive behaviors, creating ways to reconnect with each other on multiple levels.
