If you have been having troubles in your relationship, you probably have been given lots of advice that doesn't seem to help. For years counselors have taught couples to "fight fair" and active listening skills. The problem is that it simply isn't enough, as it does not address the core issues. As a Level III Gottman Therapist my training is backed by over 40 years of research identifying what makes relationships work, navigate rough times and repair from trauma and infidelity. I have assisted couples for over 20 years, and I would like to assist you.

The problem is that you have left your first love. You have lost trust and friendship in your marriage and wonder if it can be saved. You have even wondered if divorce is an option. You may still love your spouse, but you are definitely no longer in love. You think, "If our relationship were back then what it is now, I would not have married." Working on symptoms does not work. The actual problem has to be addressed: falling out of love.

Do you often wonder why your partner won’t talk with you…really talk with you? Sometimes they even become angry, verbally attack, or just withdraw when you try to explain things. It’s really important but they just don’t seem to understand. Maybe you have a “communication problem” or maybe they just don’t care about you anymore. Whatever is happening, this place is scary and confusing! How great would it be to end up feeling more connected to each other after resolving a problem or repairing a conflict?

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
