Couples Therapy

Their relationship just wasn’t working.

So, Jeff* and Amanda* decided to live apart.

For Jeff, the change felt good at first.

But as the space between them started growing, it felt worse and worse.

It wasn’t always this way.

They were high school sweethearts who lived on the same street. So, Jeff’s family knew Amanda’s, and Amanda’s family knew Jeff’s.

They dated for almost eight years before tying the knot.

As they got closer and closer, they made plans for their future: their jobs, their home… their children.

According to Amanda, things were “rosy” all the way through…

Until about a year into the marriage…

That’s when Jeff got deployed. While he was away, Amanda started a causal relationship that turned romantic.

When Jeff found out, the relationship turned sour.

They battled through the tension, the arguments, and the broken trust. Jeff eventually forgave Amanda, but Amanda didn’t seem to forgive herself.

No matter how often they tried to reconcile and rediscover what was lost, they could never return to “rosy.”

Jeff would do anything to turn back the clock.

So, he reached out for help and scheduled an initial session.

Both were initially doubtful that things would work out, but they persisted. The couple understood that for couples therapy to work, they had to be willing and open-minded.

In therapy, I created a non-critical environment that allowed each to have a voice. They were able to hear and truly understand each other, which gave them the space to heal and reconcile.

It wasn’t easy, but they’re still together today… happy as ever.

Your relationship is worth saving!
