About Alpharetta Couples & Marriage Counseling

The willingness to feel vulnerable and to be open about your feelings is essential to real intimacy. We provide emotionally focused couples therapy sessions in Alpharetta that helps to develop problem-solving skills, improve communication skills, and tackle specific issues. Our marriage counselors work with couples to build a toolbox of coping skills that will help to improve their relationship.

Couples Often Experience Communication Issues

Communication is a fundamental skill for building connection and contact. What we say and how we say it has a powerful effect on bringing us closer together or farther apart. Research shows that communicating effectively will help partners feel heard and validated. Couples seek marriage counseling most often when they have experienced a distinct lack of communication and need assistance in regaining that connection. 

Couples Counseling Focus Areas

It is very common for couples to experience problems within their relationship that would lead them to seek guidance from a marriage and family therapist. When you understand that your mind, body, spirit, and environment are all interconnected, you begin to understand why your mental health is so important. Our long and short term treatment plans are designed by a couples therapist to address a variety of issues including, but not limited to:

  • Communication and conflict resolution

  • Fighting and anger
