Our Methods for Couples Therapy
Our therapists take an eclectic approach to help your relationship succeed. They will collaborate with you and your partner to discover the source of what's hurting your relationship while helping you find a solution. Our couples therapy experts are well-trained and educated to help you and your partner overcome any hurdle.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT, is a modified type of cognitive behavior therapy. This type of therapy teaches people to live in the moment, coping skills for stress, regulate emotions, solve relationship problems, and form healthy new relationships.
Initially, this type of therapy was developed to treat borderline personality disorder but has been discovered to help those having difficulty with emotion regulation or showing signs of self-destructive behavior such as eating disorders and substance abuse disorders. Additionally, this type of therapy has been used on occasion to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
SFT is goal-directed therapy and focuses on building solutions rather than solving problems. This type of therapy concentrates on the strengths and possibilities of the clients to help them move forward.
