SkyeHelps Counseling & Wellness offers in-person and online couples counseling.

Couples Counseling

Counseling couples takes a therapist that has a lot of training and experience. The primary problem couples face is communication; it’s like you’re each speaking different languages.

Our counselors start the marriage therapy counseling relationship by creating a common language that the couple and therapist can share. We use that language to start to understand the internal dynamics of the individual. Then, we can start to understand how that internal world is affecting the couple.

SkyeHelps counselors give our patients the tools to use outside of session to understand themselves and each other. We use a combination of trainings such as Gottman, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy, as well as our extensive experience to help learn, process, and grow.

Pre-Marital Counseling

Premarital counseling helps couples build a strong foundation for a healthy marriage.

First, counseling gives you a safe place to talk about important topics. For example, you can discuss money, kids, and daily chores before the wedding.

Second, our marriage therapists teach you how to listen without judgment. You will learn to speak kindly and improve your everyday communication skills.

Next, you will discover helpful ways to solve arguments. This teamwork keeps you from hurting each other’s feelings during fights.

Finally, sharing your deep hopes and fears helps you set realistic expectations. Studies show this early preparation can lower your risk of divorce by 30 percent. Overall, counseling gives you the exact tools you need to face life’s challenges as a team.
