Group Therapy: How it works for you

How group therapy can help you improve with others:

  •  Safety and comfort in commonality
  • Increased speed of healing breakthroughs
  • Support of others
  • Involvement in positive change for others

Group counseling is a very powerful and effective way to engage in personal change.  While some people are initially hesitant to share their struggles or concerns with a group of strangers, participants in group counseling soon understand that the group is intentionally set up so that all members of the group are accountable to being respectful and keeping all information confidential.  This allows members to quickly become comfortable within the safety of the group, and therefore gain tremendous benefit from the support of not just a therapist but an entire group of people.  Common benefits of group therapy include the speed with which breakthroughs and change can happen, the knowledge for each member that he/she is not alone in their struggles, the growth that comes from being able to receive support as well as from being part of a change process for others.

Marriage Counseling: How and why it can help your relationship

/in /by

How will Marriage Counseling help you?

  • Resolve conflict
  • Learn new communication skills
  • Therapy guides you both through your positive skills
  • Grow better, together

It is common for couples even in strong relationships and marriages to have difficulty at times.  This is because we each bring our communication and coping skill sets into our relationships, and at some point in the relationship those skills might be clashing or might not be developed enough to handle stressors that the relationship encounters.  If the couple can’t move past these glitches on their own, couples counseling can be very effective at helping them learn new skills and new ways of relating.  Interestingly, our best research indicates that even the healthiest couples disagree up to 70% of the time on crucial issues, so the good news is that we don’t have to aim for convincing our partners to see things our way to achieve happiness in relationships.
Couples counseling helps you to learn which of your current skill sets are working for you in the relationship, and what skills need to be developed.  Having a neutral and objective therapist in the conversation helps the process to remain productive, calm, and allow each of you to have support in the change process.  The therapist is able to point out areas that both of you need to gain more perspective on and areas for growth.  Finally, the therapist is there to explain why certain things are happening in the relationship and teach more effective skills to get better outcomes.
