If you’re experiencing difficulty communicating or connecting with your partner, you are not alone. Every couple struggles at some points in their relationship. We all have unfinished places inside ourselves that need healing, and our intimate partners are usually the ones who trigger the feelings hidden in our deepest wounds. While it may feel unnerving and upsetting to become emotionally activated by your partner, having challenging feelings arise can actually be a good thing. With an awareness of what is happening for both individuals and the couple as whole comes an opportunity to grow, heal and deepen your connection with yourself and with your partner.

Family therapy can be useful when any family situation is causing stress, grief, anger or conflict. It can help you and your family members understand one another better and learn coping skills to bring you closer together. Family therapy can help you improve troubled relationships with your partner, children or other family members. You may address specific issues such as marital or financial problems, conflict between parents and children, or the impact of substance abuse or a mental illness on the entire family.

Children in adolescence, face many challenges. School, friendships, and the development of self can cause discord in the average teenager's life. Platonic and romantic relationships may cause this stress. Relationships between parents and children are crucial to healthy development. Teenagers may worry about homework, inclusion in peer groups, sports, and may even face bullying. Supportive therapy can aid the teen in being able to healthily navigate all of these challenges.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.  Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal.  EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.
