Pax Family Counseling strives to help couples at all stages find creative solutions to entering into deeper and more fulfilling relationships. This is done by identifying negative patterns in the relationships, establishing realistic ways to solve problems, expanding emotional awareness, and finding new ways to strengthen emotional, physical, and spiritual bonds.
Interpersonal methods and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) are utilized when working with couples. EFT is an evidence based practice that assumes emotions can be a source of healing. Research shows that just a few sessions of EFT will reduce distress in 75% of couples, while 90% of couples will experience lasting relationship improvement.
Marriage counseling and couples counseling sessions are unique to each couple and their relationship style. Together we will work toward strengthening your connection in a way that feels comfortable for you.
