Couples Therapy
Don't walk in front of me;
I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me; 
I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend                                                  Albert Camus

Interpersonal psychotherapy is an evidenced based therapy that works on the premise that you are more likely to achieve and maintain wellness if you have healthy relationships.  Healthy relationships depend on good communication that enables you to express your needs clearly without blame or criticism. 

​

Often relationship difficulties arise when our expectations are not understood, we may think our partner should know what we want, but sometimes they don't seem to get it. It may be things have changed and the relationship has not adjusted, or trust has been tested.   In couples therapy you will be able to talk about your needs and have the opportunity to hear what your partner's needs are in an atmosphere of calm, where understanding and negotiation replace blame and anger.  

​

Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.
