Couple Therapy
Couple Therapy Can Help
At Sage, we seek to help clients build their relationships with BOTH Heart and Skill. It is important to clear the air, learn to see each other clearly, and get your heart in the right place, invested in the relationship. It is also a significant need to learn great skills to build friendship and connection, communicate well and manage conflict, support each other’s goals and dreams and foster shared meaning. When your heart is in the relationship AND you develop and use healthy relationship skills you can thrive together. You can be the Masters and not Disasters when it comes to being in a relationship with each other.
We believe that building a strong relationship is not a matter of following a recipe or a one-size-fits-all approach. We work with each couple to clarify your personal vision for a win-win life and then help you take step by step actions that fit your experience and are customized to your needs. One of the great benefits of the couple therapy process is that we help you with specific challenges you are facing at the time and also focus on learning from the process so that you can use the skills you develop with us to address future challenges that may arise. We generally work with clients on a short term basis (typically 3-6 months) and help you to feel “on track” and ready to move forward without therapy. Some circumstances require more time due to trauma or other complexities. We work with clients as long as it is needful and beneficial. Also once clients wrap up their work with us, we are open to completing follow up sessions, check ups, or additional work in the future if things arise that need further support.
