• Couples counseling offers numerous benefits to relationships, helping partners improve their communication, strengthen their bond, and resolve conflicts more effectively. Some of the key benefits include:​

  • Improved Communication: One of the primary benefits of couples counseling is that it helps partners learn how to communicate more effectively. It provides a safe environment for both individuals to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns without judgment.

  • Conflict Resolution Skills: Counseling can teach couples valuable techniques for resolving disagreements constructively, rather than letting conflicts escalate into unhealthy arguments. This includes learning how to listen actively, compromise, and find solutions that satisfy both partners.

  • Enhanced Emotional Intimacy: Couples counseling can foster emotional closeness by helping partners understand each other’s emotional needs and vulnerabilities. This can lead to deeper intimacy, trust, and affection in the relationship.

  • Better Understanding of Each Other’s Needs: Counseling helps each partner better understand the other's perspectives, needs, and desires. This can prevent misunderstandings and help partners feel more validated and supported.

  • Strengthening the Relationship: By addressing issues and challenges that may have been brewing for a while, couples counseling can strengthen the overall relationship. Couples often emerge from counseling with a renewed sense of connection and commitment.

• While traditional treatments often include medication, there are alternative therapies available. At The Center for Integrated Therapies, we offer neurofeedback therapy designed to help address ASD symptoms by training the brain to self-regulate.

Gottman:

The Gottman Method is a popular and research-based approach to couples therapy, developed by Dr. John Gottman and his wife Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman. This method is grounded in over four decades of research on what makes relationships work and is designed to help couples build stronger, more satisfying relationships. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, emotional connection, and conflict resolution in relationships.

• Using advanced BrainCore equipment, we monitor brain wave activity and provide feedback through audio or video signals. Positive feedback is given when the brain exhibits desired activity, encouraging self-regulation over time.

• This method can reduce unwanted symptoms associated with ASD and other conditions such as behavioral challenges, anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
