During our couples sessions, we combine emotions, humor, science and creativity to help partners reconnect! At Pax Family Counseling, we strive to help couples at all stages find creative solutions to enter into deeper and more fulfilling relationships. This is done by identifying the negative patterns in the relationship, expanding emotional awareness, establishing realistic ways to solve problems and finding new ways to strengthen the bonds of love emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Our therapists have specialized training to serve couples through Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). 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.
