Couples Therapy: Nurturing Your Relationship at Every Stage

Embracing Couples Therapy for Diverse Needs

Couples seek therapy for many reasons. Some start while they’re in a strong phase with the goal of building resilience for future challenges, others seek support while working their way through a rut. Some come to therapy in hopes of healing from indiscretions, while some are looking to get on the same page before taking a big step.

In every scenario, our therapy sessions at Marsh Psychotherapy are designed to create an understanding, empathetic environment where both partners can openly express their thoughts and feelings, working together towards a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

Fostering Deeper Understanding with PIT

At Marsh Psychotherapy, our approach to couples therapy is deeply influenced by the principles of Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy (PIT).

This approach helps couples not just in resolving surface-level issues but in understanding the deeper emotional patterns and dynamics at play in their relationship through practices like:

  • Exploring Underlying Dynamics: PIT encourages couples to explore how their individual histories and personalities influence their relationship. This exploration leads to a deeper understanding of recurring conflicts and emotional responses.

  • Using the Therapeutic Relationship as a Mirror: In our sessions, we utilize the relationship between the couple and the therapist as a learning tool. This dynamic serves as a real-time model for healthy communication and conflict resolution, providing insights into how each partner’s behavior impacts the other.

  • Emotional Attunement and Empathy Building: Through PIT, couples learn to attune to each other’s emotional needs and develop greater empathy. This fosters a deeper emotional connection and a more harmonious relationship.

  • Cultivating Intimacy with Active Listening and Inquiry: Our approach teaches couples to actively listen and ask clarifying questions, ensuring a complete understanding. This practice not only makes partners feel truly heard but also fosters a deep, empathetic connection between them.
