Frequently Asked Questions About Relationship Therapy
Get answers to common questions about relationship therapy therapy in San Rafael, CA.
What therapy methods do you use for couples?
I use the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), both extensively researched and proven effective. The Gottman Method focuses on building the 'Sound Relationship House' with friendship, conflict management, and shared meaning. EFT helps couples understand and reshape their emotional connection patterns.
Can relationship therapy help even if only one partner attends?
Yes. Individual relationship therapy can be highly effective. You can learn new communication skills, understand your relationship patterns, process your feelings, and make changes that positively impact the relationship—sometimes inspiring your partner to join later.
How do you handle couples with different goals for therapy?
It's common for partners to have different initial goals. I help couples clarify what they each want, find common ground, and work toward mutually agreeable outcomes. Sometimes this means exploring whether the relationship can meet both partners' needs.
