Relationship Counseling
Our unique approach to couples counseling uses the power of DBT® to improve your communication, heal your connection, and strengthen your bonds of love and friendship.
How do you know when you need Relationship Counseling?
Are you and your partner in a rut and struggling to connect after years of being together? Have you stopped communicating effectively with your partner and feel unheard and misunderstood?
Many couples wait too long before they embark on counseling. Often, by the time they are in counseling, it’s too late to salvage the relationship, and both parties have stopped listening. Don’t wait! Couples counseling is a great way to invest in you both.
What makes ADBTA's relationship counseling so effective?
Our DBT-informed couples counseling differs from traditional marriage counseling. DBT-informed couples therapy is a highly effective approach for healing relationships. This is because we focus on teaching skills to both people in the relationship, to enhance the couple’s interpersonal effectiveness, communication skills, and emotion regulation—essential elements in fostering healthy relationships.
We equip couples with practical tools to manage conflicts, navigate emotional intensity, and enhance their understanding of each other.
