Springfield, MO’s Marriage & Couples Counseling
Are you seeking Marriage Counseling or Therapy in Springfield and Greene County?
Marriage brings a new set of challenges that dating didn’t have. Family Enrichment Project (FEP) has experience working with newlyweds, new parents, empty nesters, and retired couples. At FEP, we use Prepare/Enrich as a basis of our work and incorporate therapeutic approaches to deal with any difficulties you may be working through.
If you’re incessantly arguing or have poor communication, we have specific interventions to fix it, not advice. Infidelity? We will work together towards forgiveness and boundaries so it doesn’t happen again. Do you feel like you never agree? We will work on empathy and understanding to find a healthy compromise.
Strategies We Will Use
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: The therapist will work with the couple/clients to examine and challenge poor thought patterns and unhealthy behaviors. Then, the therapist and clients will seek to supplant those thoughts and behaviors with healthier ones.
Structural Family Therapy: The therapist will examine the structure of relationships and identify how they function. The couple/client and therapist will analyze partner roles, power dynamics, proper boundaries, and more to re-orient relationships to a healthier state.
Contextual Therapy: As the name suggests, this type of therapy looks at how people grew up in the context of their families, and it seeks to find trauma expressing itself in current relationships.
Eric will use these techniques in sequence as clients' needs call for them. If necessary, we will begin at the surface level with cognitive behavioral and move deeper to trauma with contextual therapy. Again, all is dependent on the couple's/ client's needs.
