 Couples Counseling

 

Whether a couple is looking for premarital counseling, is experiencing conflict within a recent to long-term marriage or partnership, or would like to address the dissolution of a relationship, Dr. Fieldstone’s goal is to provide a safe and comfortable space to communicate needs and wants. In order to prevent and/or reduce conflict, and to reach their agreed upon goals, Dr. Fieldstone uses the Gottman Method research and skills, integrated within the Imago Relationship Therapy framework to help couples learn how to understand each other and resolve disagreements outside of the therapeutic setting. This article can help you decide if couples counseling is right for you.

Individual Psychotherapy

 

Accepting that life feels too overwhelming, that your behaviors are not supporting your goals, that the methods you use to solve your problems are not working, or that your current support doesn’t feel strong enough, takes insight and courage. Dr. Fieldstone understands that the decision to begin therapy can bring hope and relief, but might also feel scary and confusing. By utilizing a gentle and direct approach and compassionately standing beside you, Dr. Fieldstone encourages you to achieve your goals. Every individual begins therapy at a different stage in their life and in their emotional processing. Dr. Fieldstone first strives to alleviate the most immediate stress that brings you into therapy, while also providing life-long tools to prevent the same issues from reoccurring. You and Dr. Fieldstone will collaborate on a flexible and tailored approach that suits your needs, responsibilities, and goals.
