Greetings everyone. Teletherapy offers the exceptional opportunity for a therapist or life coach and client to facilitate an environment that encourages understanding, clarity, and growth. In this environment the client and therapist identity areas for work, as well as create a path that leads to understanding and empowerment. What is teletherapy? Teletherapy involves the use of real-time interactive video conferencing between a therapist and client(s) to communicate and provide care remotely with the requirement of being in the same location.

Being a mother and a grandmother in the context of a happy 40 plus year marriage have also contributed to my understanding of life and relationships.
Sometimes life circumstances are overwhelming. Difficult relationships, career challenges, health issues, major losses can all lead to depression and/or anxiety and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Working with people around these issues has been my focus for 40 plus years.

Have you ever felt pain for the things that didn’t take place in life – an easier childhood, more time with a loved one, an ideal marriage ? By understanding our past we can better understand why we move about the world the way we do. I believe that adverse experiences can cause us to create unhealthy patterns of relating with ourselves and others. It is my goal to help you get out of this harmful loop through therapeutic healing so that you can create a healthier way of living, find purpose and meaning, and be in healthy community and relationships with others.

You seem to be good at everything *except* your relationship. You know something is off in your relationship, but maybe you just can't quite put your finger on it. Or you know exactly what the problem is, but you're clueless on how to change it. You don't want to give up, walk away, throw in the towel. You want to fight for your marriage . Perhaps there's be infidelity, perhaps many times over. Maybe your partner hid major issues or events, like debts or friendships, and now you can't heal from the betrayal and trust your partner again. Or perhaps you are the one holding the secret, and the shame is keeping you imprisoned in fear.

Marriage Counseling Therapists

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
