Couples Counseling in Ponte Vedra

Improve the Quality of Your Relationship With Professionals

What is Couples Counseling? Couples counseling is a broad phrase covering all types of counseling and psychotherapeutic services addressing relationship issues as a couple or on an individual basis as it relates to your intimate relationships. At times couples counseling may even involve additional members of the family system to include children, relatives, friends, and past or current therapists.

Marriage counseling and marital therapy are terms that are often used interchangeably. The services are ultimately the same and address the needs of married people. Again, couples counseling is more broad and addresses help with intimate issues whether people are married or not.

Discrete Help

Who needs Couples Counseling? Most people enter couples counseling believing they need help with communication. After a few sessions, it is quickly realized that the troubles are much deeper and typically include a failure to meet each other’s emotional needs or to support each other’s dreams.

In couples counseling we treat both heterosexual and same sex couples. Moreover, both sets of couples face a variety of issues ranging from infidelity, poor communication, a lack of intimacy or sexual problems, coping with pressures or alliances with in-laws, addiction issues, workaholism, poor management of the home or finances, managing children, contemplating divorce, and dealing with other behavioral problems.
