Old patterns can get woven into how we see ourselves, how we see relationships, & how we see our future.
Therapy is like tutoring, a little help to get through a stuck point, to polish up things, and then move on. We will look at what's not right and plan for something better, an updated plan. My clients appreciate that they aren't doomed & they aren't damaged, they just need an upgrade that matches where they are now.
I also I supervise newly graduated therapists in Texas (LPC & LMFT) and New Mexico (LMHC) and teach them these skills.

Let's see what's not quite right, then figure out what better looks like. Most of my clients want to look forward, not backward- seems reasonable.
First we assess what's going on. Then we describe what we want. More Good- Less Bad. Now we build a plan to go that direction. Let's get started.

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
