Couples Counseling

Couples in all stages of their relationship can benefit from counseling

Consider investing in the health of your connection.

Bringing together two different backgrounds, upbringings, and views of the world can undoubtedly be tricky. Couples counseling can help you navigate the delicate dynamics of your relationship, whether you’re a new couple, working through specific issues, or a long-term couple needing to regenerate love. The goal is a supportive and connected relationship. 

Social support in relationships is one of the primary predictors of health and resiliency. Relationships are vitally important. The entire staff at Optimum Joy dedicated 4 intensive days of training to become more helpful and competent in supporting couples. They are now trained in one of the leading modalities for couples, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and our staff will continue to commit to advancing into higher levels of training within this model.

When relationships are strong and resilient, we are all strong and resilient.

 

Relationships can relieve stress, but also can cause significant stress.

 

Couples therapy gives couples a healthy and dedicated time to work through relationship stressors, or to spend doing exercises that encourage connection and empathy towards one another. It may be stressful to start, but we’ll work to get you back to partnering in life.

“If you’re thinking about counseling…do it! Best personal investment I have ever made.”

“I think back on my life before- anxious, perfectionistic, judgemental- and I can’t believe it comes from the same person. I’ve come a long way. It feels good to be comfortable in my own skin and accepting of others around me.”

"When I came to Optimum Joy, my life was so stressful! With their help I feel lighter and happier for the first time in a long time."

“From the first phone call I knew I would be well taken care of. It took a lot for me to reach out. I have difficulty connecting, but I felt so welcomed and understood.”

“Mindfulness! Mindfulness! Mindfulness! I didn’t realize how tuned-out of my emotions I was. Alex helped me get back into listening to myself and practicing mindfulness. I literally use it all the time to ground me when I am feel anxious.”
