Couples and Relationship Counseling In Springfield, MO
Have You Found Someone You’re Committed To?
Do you two live together, or are you considering it? You may want to get married or continue in what is already working. But, there may be some lingering questions like something as simple as whose job is it to do the dishes and when?
Or maybe you’re struggling with something more profound, like, how do I forgive the past? Family Enrichment Project is here to work with you from the most straightforward to the most complicated problems.
Don’t look at relationship counseling as a defeat or something shameful. The more tools you have for a strong relationship, the better! We here at the Family Enrichment Project like to see therapy as preventative medicine; you don’t have to be in a crisis to utilize it! All couples will begin with a Prepare/Enrich Assessment.
In the busyness of life, finding a moment to connect with your significant other can be difficult. With this bite-sized assessment, you will then get a tailor-made session just for you. Once completed, your assessment is analyzed, and your strength and growth areas are measured.
Theoretical Approaches
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.
