Relational Therapy for Couples
Relational therapy for couples is designed to help you develop a healthy relationship with your partner, learn to listen to each other and hear each other, process through conflict effectively, and learn how to use your differences as an advantage rather than allowing them to pull you apart. In couples therapy, we work together to help you develop more awareness of your own triggers, thought patterns, and actions that block you from what you want in your relationship. Finally, we work together to help you and your spouse learn ways to be effective in connecting and enjoying each other.
Women’s Therapy
As women, we have unique strengths as well as challenges. In therapy, we help you clarify who you really are and what you really want to be about. We support you in seeing yourself more accurately and walking more freely in your truth. This often includes recognizing and addressing false beliefs that have taken root in our minds. We will also work on awareness of ways you might contribute to sabotaging what you ultimately want.
Parent-Child Therapy | Teenagers
We work with parents and their teenagers to help them better navigate the journey of individuation with mutual respect and compassion. We usually use both individual and relational therapies toward this goal. We support parents in understanding their teenagers more effectively along with understanding their own responses to their child. We help you learn to communicate more effectively with the teen and to communicate the love and support that is likely your ultimate goal as a parent. We also help your kiddo develop their ability to be aware of their own thoughts/feelings/wants and to be able to communicate those in a more fruitful way.
Sex/Love/Porn Addiction Program for Men
Many people are surprised to learn that problems with sexual impulsivity are often driven by an underlying intimacy disorder. Men who struggle with sexual impulsivity are often stuck in a larger cycle of acting out (behaviors demonstrating loss of control such as binging with sex/porn, food, spending, and substance use) and acting in (behaviors aimed to regain a sense of control such as hoarding money, restricting food intake, excessive exercise, workaholism, empty religious practices, or withdrawing emotionally / sexually from a spouse). Our first priority in treatment is to stabilize crisis situations and work to establish sobriety. We use several assessments provided by IITAP to help you:
- Assess your level of powerlessness and unmanageability
- Define and understand your “arousal template”
- Explore ways that your arousal template may influence your urge to deviate from your value system
- Gain insight into ways that adverse childhood experiences have impacted your arousal template
- Outline a treatment plan to address your intimacy disorder which may include participation in a variety of resources including 12-step meetings, sponsorship, process group, disclosure process with a spouse (including a polygraph when needed), trauma-focused therapy, and mood regulation skills.
Navigating this process is often overwhelming for clients, especially after their addiction has been discovered by a spouse. Relationship counseling is frequently needed throughout the recovery process in order to prevent further harm, help a spouse cope with the trauma of betrayal, and develop a path for achieving long-term connection.
PTSD and Complex Trauma
The term “trauma” is often used very loosely within the mental health field and can be applied to a variety of situations. The term can describe an acute type of trauma that results from a specific incident such as a car accident, a sexual assault, or military combat. The term “complex trauma” can refer to the effects of having repeated acute traumas, relationship wounding from a caregiver (such as emotional abuse by a parent), or describe the effects of being raised in a toxic or chaotic environment. We use a variety of methods to help you gain insight into the impacts of the past, process them effectively to relieve symptoms, and develop techniques to cope more effectively. We have specialized training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy, which are both preferred treatments for PTSD according to the American Psychological Association.
