Couples Counseling in San Rafael, CA

Your relationship with your spouse or significant partner may be the strongest bond that you will develop in your lifetime.  When you experience a loss of connection or trust with your partner, everything else can suffer.  You may feel lonely, depressed, or angry.  You might bring less than your “best self” to your daily interactions.  In therapy we will look at your situation together, define the agreed goals of therapy, explore behaviors and thinking/emotional patterns that are destructive to your relationship, and create a strategy to find the best techniques to improve this important relationship.  We will focus on what is working in the relationship currently and what worked in the past, building on those strengths as well as fostering positive communication that diffuses reactivity, builds responsibility, and deepens intimacy.
