Jim Thomas, LMFT
Marriage & Family Therapist | Claimed

Greeetings, if you are here on Marriage.com, you are likely searching for help for your relationship. And finding a therapist online is a daunting task. Will they work hard for us? Is the therapist, warm and welcoming, or more clinical and anayltical in their approach. and importantly, what approach do they take towards couples counseling?

Do they believe in relational, emotional bonds and fight for them? Are they neutral? Will they get caught in problem-solving our latest conflict or giving us "obvious" advice about what to do differently?

My work arises from the developing, expanding science of human emotions. Also, I bring a belieft that we humans are wired to connect. Our ongoing conflicts, distance and disagreements arise from not feeling seen, heard, valued by our partner.

Focusing on your emotional bond, will help you slow down your typical pattern of conflict or avoidance. Explore the negative cycles you get in to, while honoring where you do feel better about each other, and connect. The goal is to get to a deeper, more authentic, vulnerable felt connection with each other. It's quite invigorating, and liberating. Couples really love getting their together.

My speciality and focus is on 2 and 3 day therapy intensives, one couple at a time.
