Relationship Counseling
Thank you for your interest in Rock Creek Therapy’s Couples Counseling services. Our team of psychotherapists provides psychotherapy and counseling services for couples dealing with a range of issues.
Why Start Couples Therapy?
Couples often begin therapy at a point of transition, because they want to take a next step or a different step together, or because they are experiencing a strain in the relationship. Rock Creek Therapy provides a safe and affirming space for all couples who are seeking help for relationship struggles.
Short and Long Term Goals of Couples Therapy
The couple and therapist will work to address immediate needs such as communication skills or conflict resolution while longer-term goals may include recognizing unproductive patterns, developing new ways of positive interaction, building trust, and enhancing intimacy.
Focusing on the Relationship
Partners can gain insights into themselves, their pasts, and their feelings together. The focus will be on the relationship and understanding how individual thoughts and feelings contribute to relational patterns that may be causing problems between them. The couple will work to understand their feelings and beliefs, especially about relationships themselves. In addition, they can expect to explore how past experiences play a role in how they interact with each other.
