Marriage Counseling

What Is Marriage Counseling?

Marriage isn’t always a harmonious journey, and communication hurdles are more common than not. These challenges can take many forms – from a lack of communication and hostile exchanges to feeling isolated or misunderstood. At Lighthouse Trauma Therapy, we understand these struggles all too well.

Our approach to marriage counseling is grounded in practicality. We don’t just focus on changing behaviors; we aim to shift the underlying communication patterns. This means fostering an environment where you and your partner can engage in honest and vulnerable conversations.

The relationship struggles when it lacks vulnerability and understanding. With the fear of rejection or hurt, we often get defensive and miss the opportunity to connect. In our therapy sessions, you’ll find a safe space to practice and open up, leading to a deeper understanding of each other. You will learn some specific and practical skills to express your feelings and to listen to your partner. Our therapists who are specifically trained to work with dynamics are there to support you in your courage to take a step towards each other.

Our goal is to help you strengthen and fortify your relationship so it can not only last, but be a source of joy and fulfillment for years to come. With a gentle and direct guidance, we are able to help our clients learn how to show up to themselves, and to their partners. At Lighthouse Trauma Therapy, we’re here to help you rewrite the story of your relationship, rekindling the connection that brought you together in the first place.
