Family Counselor in Columbus, OH
Couples generally wait about seven years after they become dissatisfied before seeking aid with their most precious investment: their marriage. When the bliss of early love fades, as it naturally does, couples usually try to make things better by attacking their partner and blaming the partner for problems, withdrawing and sulking, or both. John Gottman's extensive research into marriage tells us that there are four particularly toxic processes that increase the probability of divorce: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling.

Marriage Counseling
read moreThe goal of marriage counseling is to change the repetitive patterns of interacting that tear the love apart, leaving room for new ways of being together that can help the couple move into authentic contact: hearing and responding to each to each other, taking responsibility for what you yourself are doing/not doing in the marriage, focusing on understanding your partner, and developing functional protocols of conflict. The couple can then explore what is really true in their marriage: do you want more intimacy and vulnerability?
Divorce Counseling
read moreYou will never do anything more difficult than getting a divorce. It impacts us emotionally and financially. It tears up the known, familiar ways of living and relating, forcing us to develop new ways that do not feel comfortable. It alters our sense of who we are. It puts us into frightening and expensive legal conflict, where the stakes are high. Most couples return to court about 3 times after the final decree. A bad marriage can end but a bad divorce can go on interminably. That is why it is crucial for couples in all stages of marital distress to sit down together in counseling.
