RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

Our relationship with our partner is our primary attachment relationship as adults.  When this relationship is strained, it can take a toll on every aspect of our world.  Three Little Birds therapists take a relational approach and have specialized training in supporting couples, including Gottman, Imago and Emotionally Focused couples therapy.   We have helped couples through a variety of issues including infidelity/ affairs, substance use issues,  life changes ( baby/ children, job change, loss, etc), sexual concerns, communication issues, feelings of disconnection,  consensual non-monogomy and parenting style differences.  We can also help couples who are contemplating divorce and help them process and explore what un-coupling would be like.    

Some ways that we can help:

  • Increase healthy communication

  • Decrease frequency and intensity of conflict

  • Process anger, resentments and past hurts

  • Build trust 

  • Increase feelings of connection and shared meaning

  • Co parenting issues

  • Address concerns around sexual intimacy

  • Increase sexual satisfaction and intimacy

  • Exploring or incorporating consensual non-monogamy 

  • Family conflict issues

  • Impact of trauma on relationship

  • Family roles, shared responsibility in household

  • Life changes

  • Building life goals and dreams​​
