Many people think couples therapy is only for relationships in serious trouble or on the brink of divorce, but it can be just as valuable for couples who want to feel closer, communicate better, or navigate life changes more easily. Just like taking care of your physical health, caring for your relationship through therapy allows for you and your partner to grow stronger together, before a crisis arises.
At Stillwater Healing couples counseling is focused on each individual and the relationship as a whole. We use a blend of evidence-based approaches to support and foster relationships. Below are the several approaches that are used to help couples through their needs.
​
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach helps couples recognize and change disruptive thought patterns and behaviors that can create conflict or distance
-
Imago Therapy: Helps couples explore how childhood experiences could have shaped current relationship patterns, and offer tools to break repeating cycles.
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps couples in identifying and responding to both personal and each other's emotional and attachment needs. This allows for the ability to foster security and create deeper connections.
