Couples Counseling in Boca Raton

It takes three, not two, to make a healthy relationship: two independent, autonomous individuals and the life they share between them.What makes a healthy intimacy? A relationship can only be as good as the individuals in it. If both people have a unique identity with clear-cut boundaries separate from the relationship, they are in a position to create the third entity, a dynamic partnership. The goal of my couples counseling is to help them to remain separate but connected.
Goal
It takes three to create an excellent relationship: I, You, We. All three entities must be simultaneously nurtured.
Process
  • “I” – A relationship is only as good as the individuals in it. I will help you to develop your “Self.”
  • “You” – Your partner is a separate individual from you. I will help you to honor the differences.
  • “We” – Partners in happy relationships experience security and trust with one another so they can bring their “I” honestly into the partnership.
Outcome
I
Better communication of your needs.
A stronger sense of SELF
Self-acceptance
Personal responsibility for a meaningful life
You
Respect for your partner's uniqueness
Investment in your partner's growth
Unconditional value of your partner
We
A compatible We
Knowledge of what is yours and respect for what is not
How to negotiate conflicts

And from all that work, personal experience, and counseling thousands of individuals, I came up with my own unique relationship model, which I call Yours, Mine, Ours: Romantic Partnership Done Right.

How Do You Know If You Need Divorce Counseling?

Let’s Consider The “Emotional” Divorce Many, if not most, of the clients seen by a family law attorney manifest a high degree of anxiety. This anxiety (which can present in a variety of ways) can interfere with the attorney’s ability to concentrate on the legal aspects of the case. When the mental health aspects are severe, the attorney will refer the client to a mental health therapist. Sometimes, however, all the client needs is a guide to assist through the emotional aspects of the marital dissolution. Enter Collaborative divorce and its innovative use of mental health coaches.
