Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MA, LCSW | Claimed

My approach in couples work involves cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space where both partners feel heard and understood. Effective communication is paramount, encouraging open dialogue and active listening to foster mutual respect and empathy. I should strive to identify and address underlying issues, helping partners explore their feelings and concerns while promoting healthy conflict resolution strategies. Additionally, setting clear goals collaboratively with the couple can guide the therapeutic process towards positive outcomes.\n\nEmphasizing the importance of individual growth within the relationship is crucial, as it allows each partner to understand themselves better and, in turn, enhance their connection.
