Navigating relationships can be tricky, to say the least. I believe the most important element of any relationship is communication. Breakdowns in communication are common and may go undetected for months, or even years. Becoming aware of how we communicate and adjusting appropriately can make all the difference in our interactions moving forward. My goal is to help you and your partner become effective communicators. My therapeutic style is down to Earth and compassionately curious.
I primarily use Imago Relationship Therapy to help repair relational ruptures, rebuild trust, and develop effective ways of communicating that soon become second nature. I also incorporate elements of Gottman Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
One of the most important parts of therapy is creating a strong therapeutic relationship with each other. This is accomplished by building trust, fostering a sense of safety, and mutual respect. Your success is my priority. If you think we'd be a good fit, please reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation here or via www.larisasoutherland.care.
