Strength your most important Relationship
Relationships take work. Grow better together.
What to expect from Marriage & Couples Counseling
While no partner is perfect, marriage and couples counseling is about working together and making the best decisions for you and your partner. These may be varying behaviors, communication or lack thereof, and more, but identifying these issues and being upfront about them can avoid headaches, fights, or deep-seeded resentment in the future. I help couples be open and communicate their thoughts and perspectives to better understand each other and resolve conflicts.
1. Communicate effectively
- learn to listen and understand your partners needs, wants, feelings
- recognize you or your partner’s use of negative communication, verbal and nonverbal messages
- learn not to criticize but positively request changes
- learn to be empathetic and sensitive to your partner’s perspective
2. Intimacy
- strengthen physical and emotional bonds with your partner
- be compassionate for their needs
- plan for and follow through on “time together” despite busy schedules
3. Conflict Resolution & Productivity
- learn conflict resolution strategies to prevent escalation
- address conflicts early and collaborate on healthy decisions
- be accountable, take ownership of your actions, and make amends
- learn to forgive and not hold grudges
Marriage & Couples Counseling Services with Anita McLeod
As a licensed mental health professional with over 15 years helping couples through good times or relationship crises such as communication or infidelity, and divorce, I have the experience and understanding to help you navigate your relationship goals.
Individual or Couples Counseling
Working on a relationship takes both working on yourself and working together. Sometimes you and your spouse need to discuss your differences. Other times you need to work through something within yourself before coming to a resolution with your partner. My marriage counseling services are private sessions with individuals or couples together to help you build a strong, successful relationship.
Marriage counseling and overall health
Relationships can cause all kinds of stress, especially when times are rough. You may have trouble sleeping, your eating habits or exercise routines may change, your heart may race, and more. I understand the challenges that come with relationships and can help you get on the right path mentally that can trickle down to improving your physical well-being.
How I help counseling clients
Couples counseling is one of many steps that can help you improve your relationships and mental health. I work with clients across a variety of experiences that may be causing trust issues, self-sabotage, lack of communication, and other issues that could also be causing issues in their marriage or relationships.Â
