COUPLES' THERAPY & MARRIAGE COUNSELING at Aletris in Scottsdale, AZ

Whether or not you're currently experiencing relationship and communication problems, meeting with a marriage or couples counselor for the purpose of improving your relationship can be an exciting journey. Too often, couples put off therapy until one or both partners have already given up, and then they seek a therapist to “take the curse off.” Getting a marriage or relationship tune-up might be the best thing you ever do at any point in your relationship.

When undergoing marriage, couples, or family counseling, the real client is the relationship or relationships. Therapy involves a dialogue with you, your significant other, family members, and your therapist as you discover what you want in a relationship and how that can come about. The therapist is there to create the right environment and space for the relationship to evolve, grow, and be reflected upon.

A marriage counselor is trained to detect both the issues and desires you bring to the relationship. You and your partner will then look at the patterns that exist in the relationship, use them as part of the session, and guide each person to discover the changes they can make to enhance the relationship. Thoughts about relationship expectations, communication skills, forgiveness, respect, and common values are some of the common themes explored in therapy.
