Kathleen Polscer
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I love my work as a couples' counselor. I'm a Gottman Seven Principles Program Educator. I have over 20 years experience doing individual and couples therapy, and 15 years in private practice. I help couples improve communication, rekindle intimacy and improve awareness of patterns which may result in defensiveness, or feeling "not heard" by your partner. In individual therapy, I create a warm environment where my clients feel comfortable to discuss their issues. Together we develop goals & strategies for cultivating positive changes. In couples work, we address problematic communication to change those patterns from ineffective to effective habits & behaviors.
I help you learn to be more aware of those patterns, so each partner can put into place skills and techniques for enhancing intimacy. Therefore, you can learn to enjoy each other for who you are, appreciating again the strengths and positive qualities that you first felt in each other.
I'm a Gottman Seven Priniciples Program Educator, teaching skills from "The Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work," by John Gottman, Ph.D. of the Gottman Institute. I would enjoy speaking with you about any questions about counseling or feel free to visit my website, www.kathleenpolcer.com.
