How Couples Therapy Works
Your relationship is not where you want it to be.
Couples therapy is a safe place to discuss your concerns in your relationship, with a third party unbiased therapist supporting you. A couples therapist can help see both sides of the relationship, so that both partners can feel more understood and heard in the relationship.
Couples counseling can you give you specific tools you need that you can start working on in-between therapy sessions. Therapy is once a week, so most of the healing will take place with what you are doing outside of session. Dr. Takamoto will help determine strategies you can implement, such as to work on conflict or restore intimacy and build trust.
It is also a space where communication patterns are brought to light in the session. Dr. Takamoto can point out strengths and weaknesses in the communication styles, so that couples can get an outsider perspective of how they are communicating to one another. Oftentimes people are defensive, not being empathetic towards their partner, jump to conclusions, etc, and these patterns can get worked on in therapy.
It is not always easy to take the step to start couples therapy, but Dr. Takamoto is here to help make the process simple and support you towards real change.
