Do I need Empathi couples therapy?

We all revel in the romance of a new relationship. When those sparks fly and our stomachs are filled with butterflies, we’re bound to lose ourselves in that exhilarating sensation. We wake up every morning looking forward to the new day—another day spent with the one who makes our hearts race whenever they’re near. When we get lost in the excitement of a fresh relationship, we can’t imagine that anything could ever bring us down.

But as the partnership progresses, the anticipation wears away, replaced by the practical and often difficult matters of life. Reality takes over, and what was once a couple who elevated each other to fantastic heights is now just a couple of normal people with jobs and responsibilities. Your love is still there, you’re still very much committed to each other, it’s just that things have changed. Sometimes, it’s not for the better.

If the dynamic of your relationship has drastically changed and you feel it sliding on a downhill slope, don’t lose heart. We are experienced couples therapists who understand changing relationships. Contact Empathi today. We help couples just like you bring the excitement back to their committed partnerships.

Thousands of couples are experiencing the same struggle, and more reach out for help every day.

Here are the most common issues people in Marin County, CA come to us with:

Diminished intimacy is one of the most prevalent issues that couples seek out counseling for. Quality therapy helps you rediscover your emotional bond.

It’s common for couples to argue over who owns what within the household. This often happens when there are other underlying problems occurring within the relationship. We help couples all the time who encounter disagreement over possessions.

Couples who live together often quarrel over the division of household duties. This is especially troublesome in partnerships with children. We have expertise helping partners come to agreement over the division of tasks.

Even when they both agree they want to get married, committed unmarried couples can find themselves at odds over when it’s the right time. This is something we’ve seen before and we know how to get you on the same page.

What if I've tried couples therapy in Marin County before?

If a relationship therapist hasn’t given you the help you were looking for in the past, don’t be discouraged. Some therapists don’t specialize in couples therapy, so they might not have had the expertise necessary to address your unique situation. A quality couples therapist guides you through your difficulties.

Here's why our approach works

We have experience helping partners who face these same issues and many others. We use established techniques to see you through whatever difficulties you might be facing.

Continual conflict damages relationships and undermines honest communication. Emotionally focused therapy—or EFT—helps you to turn conflict into the healthy communication it should be.

It’s a sad truth that addiction can develop during the course of a relationship, and sometimes people enter a relationship knowing they have an addiction. Addictive behaviors ruin intimacy and trust. With experiential psychotherapy techniques, we offer tools and guidance to help bring people back to engaging in healthy behaviors.

All relationships are built on trust. If that trust is damaged, other elements of the relationship are inevitably going to collapse. Through attachment theory, we help you learn trust to build back your partnership.

Couples Therapy in Marin County

Begin the Empathi Process

Your expert counselor is here to guide you back to connection using Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and the Empathi Method.

Acceptance

The hardest part is just getting started.

Healing starts with accepting you need help, booking a free consult, and showing up as you are. Everything that comes next will be easier as you’re held by an Empathi therapist and a proven process. From now on, you’re not alone in this.

Alliance

Feel like you’re on the same team again.

Explore your process and discover a unified narrative where neither of you are wrong or right, “the good one,” or “the bad one.” Learn to approach suffering and conflicts as an “us” problem instead of a “them” problem or a “me” problem.

Empathy

See the hurt and love behind their reactivity.

Strengthen your new narrative by accessing empathy to recognize the root of each other’s reactivity, how much you matter to each other, and what love is. Understand the cycles you get into with the help of your expert Empathi counselor.

Vulnerability

Share the hurt and love behind your reactivity.

Get to know, live in, and share your vulnerable feelings. Then, learn to let in the ways that those feelings are understood and accepted by your partner through the power of the Empathi method and Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy.

Connection

Feel deeply and securely bonded to one another.

Mend your relationship and your wounds through the understanding that you matter to each other. Learn to grieve, show up for, heal, and accept the most vulnerable parts inside of each other without sacrificing those parts in yourselves.

Resilience

Rely on your bond to get out of stuck moments.

Having proved your ability to resolve long-standing issues, heated conflicts, and negative cycles, face your future together with a certainty that you will not only survive those moments, but grow stronger and more connected because of them.

How do I choose a good couples therapist in Marin County, CA?

Don’t settle for any therapist if it’s your relationship on the line. Find a therapist who has experience in couples counseling. There are many good therapists out there, but you want the one that fits you best.

Here are some tips to help you find a therapist that fits:

Communication style is important. What works for some couples might not work for you and your partner. You need to make sure your therapist understands you and your issues, and you need to be able to pick up what they’re putting down if counseling is going to be effective for you.

Your therapist and you need to see eye-to-eye on the fundamentals. If a counselor’s values are similar to yours and your partners, they will be much more effective in seeing you through your issues.

Ask a potential therapist questions to better determine their suitability. Interview them. It’s your relationship’s future that’s at stake, so you want your therapist to be a good fit.

What questions should I ask before starting couples therapy in Marin County, CA?

Asking questions will get to the heart of a potential therapist’s suitability for you. Even the best therapist in the world won’t be very effective if they aren’t the right one for you. These questions will help you better determine if you and your potential therapist will fit together well:

Stick with therapy once it starts. No matter how good a couples counselor is, you’ll get the best results if you complete their plan. Couples who’ve stayed with therapy until it was complete have better outcomes all around. They enjoy better emotional health, live longer, and report themselves as being happier than before they started therapy. 

If you and your partner need guidance to help restore your relationship, now is the best time to take action. The sooner you act, the sooner quality couples therapy can help you. Come to us for quality counseling.
