Getting together with other couples who can share their wisdom, struggles, and issues is an invaluable way to address couples conflict and communication difficulties. Couples often find they are not alone in dealing with the issues that bring them into therapy and they can often work through them more effectively in a group format where there is support and encouragement to take more risks toward greater intimacy within the couple. Participants can expect to work with a mixed gender co-therapy team that has been doing groups together for over 8 years. 3-4 couples max in each group.
