Welcome to couples therapy at Growing Together! Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where couples can explore, mend, and flourish in their relationships. We're here to guide you and your partner toward leading an authentic and deeply fulfilling life. Whether you are feeling highly motivated to make significant changes to your relationship, needing a relationship tune up, looking for premarital support, or seeking conscious uncoupling, we are here to help.
When searching for the right support for your relationship, we understand that you have choices. Here's why Growing Together should be at the top of your list:
● Boutique Approach: We offer specialized therapy tailored to your unique relationship needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
● Safe & Warm Environment: We offer in office or virtual sessions from the comfort of your own home. Our practice is a haven where you can feel safe and comfortable while working on your relationship.
● Focused on Your Needs: We prioritize what’s most important to you and your partner, creating a treatment plan that addresses your unique challenges and goals.
At Growing Together, we utilize a blend of therapy models to help couples find their path to a more fulfilling relationship. Each relationship is unique and, therefore, requires a unique approach.
Here's a closer look at the methods we often employ.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy:
In our work with couples, we often use the Gottman Method Couples Therapy as one of our guiding frameworks. The Gottman Method is renowned for its focus on improving communication between couples. This methodology isn't about quick fixes but lasting changes that deepen your relationship.
The Gottman Method strongly emphasizes increasing intimacy, respect, and affection. It aims to disarm conflicting conversations and replace them with more empathetic and understanding dialogues, paving the way for a more harmonious relationship.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a humanistic approach to couples therapy that delves into the emotional core of relationships. It's more than surface-level advice; it's about getting to the emotional nitty-gritty of what keeps you connected or drives you apart.
EFT helps couples understand and regulate their emotional responses individually and as a couple. Focusing on emotional bonding and attachment cultivates a deeper sense of emotional synchrony between partners, leading to a more fulfilling relationship.
When you enter our practice or a virtual session, you enter a space designed just for you. Our approach is all about meeting your unique needs and goals. We dig deep to get to the root of your relationship issues so we can help you grow.
Whether you're joining us in person at our downtown Hudson location or from the comfort of your home, we're fully committed to helping you and your partner find a happier, healthier relationship. We're with you every step of the way.
Assessment: Phase one allows your therapist to get to know you both as individuals, as well as your relationship dynamics and patterns. In this phase we are exploring your concerns, patterns, and goals.
Implement change: Phase two is filled with learning new skills, diving into triggers and wounds that are impacting the relationship dynamic, building intimacy and companionship, and changing the relationship pattern.
Plan for difficult times: In this phase we build confidence in practicing the skills you have learned, get comfortable with your new relationship dynamic, and identify steps to keep the two of you accountable to maintain changes at home.
