Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling
“I feel alone and like we can never connect.”
“All we do is argue. We never agree on anything.”
“I don’t feel heard and have to keep repeating my needs.”
You lay in bed at night wondering if your partner will ever see your pain. But, they don’t so you feel alone, unimportant, unappreciated. You do not feel the love you once felt. Now, it feels like you are just roommates. When you try to talk with your partner about what is bothering you. But, your partner either misses your pain or it turns into an argument. The two of you just end up further apart and more alone. You know you cannot do this anymore. The pain is too much.

In therapy, we will you, your partner, and/or your family de-escalate and not feel so upset. Then, we will assist you in learning new ways to communicate and connect with your partner to foster emotional accessibility and responsiveness.
Our Marriage Therapists are trained in Eft and the hold me tight program
At JS Therapy Group, we use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Hold me Tight Program. EFT is a short-term treatment approach to marriage counseling that was developed in the 1980s by Dr. Sue Johnson. Research has been conducted on the efficacy of EFT and has found that 75% of couples report reduced distress and 90% report significant improvement. During EFT couples will first identify the interaction that creates disconnection which is often called "the dance." creates. This will help both partners understand each other’s fears and emotional responses. In the end, this creates a relationship in which both partners and family members feel safe to risk with each other.
We provide services to all individuals, couples, and families without discrimination on the basis of race, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability, gender, health status, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship status.
