Do you feel hopeless and frustrated and fear you may never be able to fix your relationship? Do you know you need help but one or both of you are afraid of being blamed for everything? 69% of all problems in relationships are unsolvable. It's not solving your problems but learning how to talk about them properly that will make your relationship feel safe and satisfying.
I'll show you how. Almost 95% of the time, the way an argument goes in the first two-three minutes predicts how it will end. It is critical that you know how to properly begin a difficult conversation. The key to closeness in relationships isn't telling your partner everything you feel exactly how you are feeling it, but carefully choosing what to say, how and when to say it, and especially knowing what not to say.

No matter how good life is, it's not that good if your primary relationship isn't going well. Let's get that taken care of. Somehow we've come to equate success with not needing anyone. Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand, but we're very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves.
Tap Find "[word(s) you entered]." I no longer have a physical location, I do telehealth exclusively. It's normal for clients to feel a little hesitant about it, but most of my clients have enjoyed it. I encourage you to give it a try. The link is in every confirmation email you receive for every appointment you schedule with me.
If so, congratulations to both of you! Marriage is going to be the greatest thing, and easily one of the hardest things, you've ever done! Seriously, it's both. Just ask anyone who has been married more than three years. Marriage is great. It's two people who are usually quite different, both seeking to love and be loved, choosing each other as the focus of their love and commitment for a lifetime.
If you didn't, it would probably be a good idea to check it out and then come back here. If you search around the internet for Gottman, you'll see that Gottman is basically the gold standard for excellence in couples counseling (or one of just a few, anyway). Results can never be guaranteed in couple counseling, because they depend on too many factors to count.

I’ve been seeing David for a couple years now. He is absolutely incredible. Passionate, understanding, and helpful, everything you look for in a therapist. I love how he never tells you exactly what to do, rather he helps you understand the situation and decide for yourself the best path to take. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

David Flowers is awesome! He is friendly, down to earth, caring and passionate in everything he does. He really listens to your concerns and explains things in terms that you can understand. Also he shows you how to see things from a different point of view, which is very helpful in couples therapy. I highly recommend him!
