INTENSIVE COUPLES THERAPY

Challenges in relationships, especially in intimate partnerships, are common. Feeling unheard, misunderstood, or burdened can strain your connection, and experiences of betrayal can deeply wound, leaving marriages teetering on the brink. However, there is hope. Often, these challenges signal underlying issues that, with the right approach, can be effectively addressed and resolved.

Our goal is for you and your partner to find satisfaction and safety in your relationship, enabling both of you to grow and become the best versions of yourselves together. Employing The Gottman Method, a research-based approach to relationship therapy, we focus on building a deeper understanding and stronger bond between you and your partner. This method involves starting with a thorough couples assessment to identify the unique dynamics of your relationship, followed by individual assessments. From there, we develop a tailored treatment plan and provide targeted education to prepare you for the intensive therapy sessions ahead.

The Gottman Method is renowned for its effectiveness in improving communication, deepening emotional connection, and fostering mutual respect and admiration. Now is the time to embark on a new path to happiness and fulfillment with your partner, guided by proven strategies that create healthy, lasting relationships.

THE GOTTMAN METHOD

The Gottman Method is a therapeutic approach designed to help couples strengthen their relationships and resolve conflicts. It's based on decades of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, who identified key factors that contribute to relationship success. The method involves assessment tools to understand each couple's unique dynamics, interventions to improve communication and understanding, and practical skills training to enhance friendship, intimacy, and conflict management. Couples learn to recognize destructive patterns and build positive habits that foster trust, connection, and long-lasting love.

IMAGO RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

Imago Relationship Therapy works by guiding couples through a structured process of communication and understanding. It aims to help partners recognize and empathize with each other's underlying emotions and needs, often rooted in childhood experiences. Key components include dialogue techniques to improve communication, identifying patterns of behavior, and fostering empathy and connection. By addressing past wounds and current conflicts, couples can heal and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR CIENTS SAY?

“Jodie Menish helped my husband and I in ways we never expected. We were unable to communicate properly, fight correctly or trust one another anymore. Jodie helped us understand, not only our marriage and each other, but also ourselves as individuals. She gave us the necessary tools to repair and improve our marriage and we will forever be grateful for all of our counseling sessions with Jodie.”
“Jodie really helped my husband and I. We went in for couples therapy. We were having problems blending our family with teenagers. Jodie was very thorough and was able to get to the root of the problem quickly. I would not hesitate using her again. She is compassionate, firm, and an amazing soul.”
