"Here we go again."...having the same fight we've had a hundred times before. The subject may change, but the flavor... the feeling... is always the same. Our downward spiral. Our bad deal. But if we could learn to break the pattern... to interrupt the downward spiral... well that would be something, wouldn't it. So that's where we'll start. This is not a "traditional couples therapy" approach. It's skills-based, educational and results-oriented. When the roof is broken, you find a hammer and nails and you fix it. When your relationship is broken, this is your hammer and nails.

Feeling overwhelmed? Things don't make sense and you've lost perspective? Sometimes it is a big reason - such as divorce, medical issues, chronic pain, weight management, financial stress or job loss. Or sometimes we just realize that we are not where we want to be in our life and not sure how we got there or how to get back. This can result in anxiety, depressed mood and sadness. It's time to start putting the pieces together - changing bad behaviors and replacing them with healthy ones, being accountable and responsible for our own lives.
