I’m certified in Emotionally Focused Couples therapy. For more information about this modality please go to ICEEFT<\/a>, The International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy.<\/p>\n

Couples come to therapy for various reasons. Some\u00a0seek counseling to work through some bumps in their\u00a0relationship and take it to the next level. \u00a0Some have intimacy issues. Some come to do repair work and healing after a betrayal or trust has been broken. Others have fears about really committing. Some want to explore\u00a0going separate ways and figure out the next steps. Some couples are\u00a0divorced and have trouble co-parenting\u00a0amicably together. These are examples of issues couples face that bring them to therapy; obviously there are many more.<\/p>\n

Whatever your issues are, as a couple’s therapist, I see my role as guide to help navigate your process in the most respectful and safe way possible. I think of my office\u00a0as a safe space where you and your partner can explore the issues that are getting in the way of\u00a0your relationship.\u00a0Under stress, couples\u00a0communicate and behave in a particular pattern, or dance,<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>as I like to call it<\/em>. Without taking sides and from unconditional regard,\u00a0I will help\u00a0identify this dance, the unhealthy patterns that lead to conflict, distance, and unmet needs.<\/p>\n

Together we’ll explore more effective ways to communicate and relate, including but not\u00a0limited to, how to speak to create connection instead of distance, how to listen to your\u00a0partner so he\/she feels heard, how to express unmet needs, and problem solve as you stay connected and work together, etc. This happens in your timing and as it fits your process.<\/p>\n

For more information about\u00a0how I can help be helpful with your particular issues, send\u00a0evabigonet@icloud.com<\/a>\u00a0or call 617-480-5683.<\/p>\n
