Couples Counseling

Do you and your partner feel like roommates? Co-managers of a household? Do you long for the intimacy you once had? Have you experienced the pain of infidelity or betrayal? Couples therapy is at the heart of what we do at Central Counseling. While most folks see a mechanic as soon as the check engine light illuminates the dashboard, the average couple waits six years after relationship troubles emerge before seeking help. We know it can feel intimidating to share your story, so if it helps you can think of us as mechanics – just with less grease on our clothes. We understand what makes relationships work and what makes relationships fail. Whether you simply need a relational tune-up or you’re uncertain if this relationship can last, we are passionate about helping you create a new path forward with deeper connection and understanding.

create a new path forward with deeper connection and understanding

Central Counseling frequently utilizes Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Gottman Method Couples Therapy, two modalities steeped in research and empirically shown to bring about results. Research tells us EFT moves couples from distress to recovery in 70-75% of cases and creates improvements in 90% of couples coming in for therapy. There is hope and healing ahead. Let’s talk today.

Relationship researcher John Gottman finds high ra Relationship researcher John Gottman finds high rates of criticism - or verbally attacking your partner - to be a predictor of divorce.

A few years ago I took a break from social media. A few years ago I took a break from social media. Here’s why I’m back...

I had just dropped off my preschooler - who was recovering from his 12th ear infection - and kept eyeing my phone in case that kind old nursery care lady called me back to get him. I scanned the @sbcmoms multi-purpose room for table 25, while standing in the buffet line filling a plate with sliced melon, sausage links, and a Krispy Kreme…it was the only breakfast I didn’t have to cook all week - I was making it count! I settled into my chair next to nine other moms - all facing similar challenges: taking on a new role in motherhood, trying not to totally screw up the wife gig, and still finding a sliver of time for ourselves - even if it was just in the form of a glazed donut every other Thursday. Today, the speaker was praised as someone who could take failing marriages and give them hope or take good marriages and make them great. I didn’t want to think about what category my own marriage fell into, but my ears perked up. I wanted a 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 marriage.

At the time, I ran Emma Magazine, a digital lifestyle publication, featuring articles like: How to Tie a Head-Scarf 3 Ways, Host Your Own Crafternoon, or Homemade Dry Shampoo recipes. Mooostly worthwhile endeavors…Except maybe the DIY dry shampoo - isn’t the entire point of dry shampoo that you didn’t have enough time to wash your hair to begin with?! Nevertheless, as the speaker, a licensed counselor, gave real tips on improving our marriages, I listened intently. A tiny seed of a dream begin to sprout. Because while there is nothing wrong with learning to make a lemon verbena foot scrub or boozy popsicle, I knew that if I was going to take time away from my family, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 is the kind of meaningful work I wanted to pursue. Now five years later, with a master’s in marriage and family therapy, I want to share as generously as that counselor did with our mom’s group. Think of this IG as my cliff notes on what makes relationships work. 

It’s good to be back. ☺️
