Couples Therapy
Working with Alex, you will gain increased awareness and learn new tools to create new interactional patterns and help strengthen your sense of connection and intimacy
to establish a secure and lasting relationship bond.
Counseling gives you a focused, personal look at yourself, your partner, and your future together! Learning evidence-based techniques can help you communicate and handle conflict
well. And when married couples get along well, they can experience deeper emotional, spiritual, and sexual intimacy and enjoy satisfaction in many other life areas!
Couple's Intensives
An intensive is a longer therapy session and/or series of sessions that are focused, structured, and designed to help couples heal hurts, build safety and strengthen their sense of intimacy at a quicker pace.
Traditional couple therapy meets for 50 minutes once a week. Some couples find that spending blocks of time focusing on their relationship can produce longer-lasting results.
Couple Therapy Intensives are available in Colorado and Hawaii. Our offices are in Lone Tree, CO, a southeast suburb of Denver just two minutes from I-25 and C-470.
