Human Relationships Are Foundational
Healthy partner relationships can be one of the most fulfilling experiences of a lifetime. Human relationships are foundational to our existence and survival, and here at Luxx Therapy, we understand that the threat to those relationships can feel frightening. You may be here because your relationship is not the safe place to land that you need it to be and you are ready to Find Your Light. You may be here because you aren’t sure what you are needing, but you know your relationship is not as fulfilling as it could be. You may be here because your relationship is in crisis. Regardless of the reason, you are in the right place.
Relationships Are Not Fixed Objects
They need to grow and change as they develop individually and together through life. With intentional adjustments, course corrections, and efforts to keep your relationship strong, it can remain an essential part of the bedrock of your life. Sometimes though, you and your partner may not be sure about how to make those adjustments, or even what adjustments to even make. As much as you both might want that stability, you might not have had great examples of what a loving, connected relationship might look like. Couples counseling can help you to identify how you might have picked up unhelpful examples of what relationships are like, and allow you to more intentionally create the meaningful relationship you want.
Exactly What is Couples Counseling?
Couples counseling is a specific form of relationship counseling, focused on the intimate romantic connection between two adult individuals. When beginning a romantic relationship, there is so much novelty, excitement, and passion, many of us often believe that nothing could go wrong! But growing divorce rates suggest differently. At Luxx Therapy, we believe that relationships have the potential to enhance your life in meaningful ways. Many people find their value and identity in the context of their relationship, and thus, when things feel rocky or uneasy, one’s emotional well-being can be significantly impacted. Our relationship therapists understand that within the context of safe relationships, individuals are transformed into more whole, developed, and fulfilled versions of themselves.
“We Have Communication Issues”
If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a million times: “Our relationship is struggling because we have communication issues.” At Luxx Therapy, we reject communication issues as catch-all phrase describing the majority of your relational conflict. We believe that the issues you may be experiencing in your connection are usually deeper than that, and we are committed to helping you identify and resolve core issues within your relationship. We will help you explore your immediate reactions to your partner, develop insight about yourself, and develop empathy for yourself and your partner. Our highly trained couple’s therapists are able to get to core issues quickly and effectively using evidence-based couples therapy modalities: Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy or The Gottman Method.
The Relationship is the Client
Regardless of approach, all of our counselors treat the relationship as the client, not just the members individually. By our therapists focusing on the relationship as a whole, you can begin to identify barriers to authentic connection, or how underlying issues might be contributing to concerns with conflict or disconnection. By working with a couple’s counselor, it allows for a deeper perspective that can come from watching some of the same dynamics you struggle with in the relationship happening in the therapy room. Through this process, you get more effective information for you to change how things play out in your relationship. Regardless of the concern, trying to change it with just one member of the relationship would be like trying to untie a knot with just one hand. Working with both you and your partner allows for both of you to work together against your concerns instead of feeling like you’re pulling on opposite sides of the rope.
