Couples coaching

Have you and your partner…

• been arguing for years with little agreement?
• found you can’t really talk to one another anymore?
• become bored with one another or find yourselves in a holding pattern?
• had little sex in a long time or mismatched desire levels?
• discovered a recent betrayal, or
• said “why can’t we be like we used to be?”

Factors of everyday life can put a strain on a relationship. Couples can become stuck, rigid, even resentful.

Severe stressors like infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, parenting differences, and long-term miscommunication can significantly impact a relationship. When problems go unresolved or if one partner is suffering from mental or physical health complications, you can feel helpless, even suffer from feelings of guilt or shame.

Communicating more effectively can be the best game changer for a long and enjoyable relationship.

Bi-weekly couples counseling provides you, over time, with customized tools for sharing what you need and want without defensiveness, anger, or fear of criticism.

Our focus is concentrated on specifically on learning ways to communicate that will help you reduce and/or release resentments and anger.

You will walk away with a greater understanding about yourself, your partner, your triggers (and why they occur).

You will deeply dive into your relationship, learning and practicing research-based, effective techniques and tools to help you and your partner create a new sense of connection.

"Couples work with Andrea Tang has been immeasurably helpful to our relationship. Our communication with each other has gotten so much better and helped us grow stronger as a couple. I would recommend this to any couple at any stage in a relationship." - A.M. & K.M.

"Couples counseling with Andrea has helped our marriage immensely. We’ve been able to identify our own individual issues and talk through things as they happen. We learned how to communicate more effectively as a team and move our marriage in a positive direction. We wouldn’t have made it through our crisis without it." - J.C. & T.G.

"Andrea is an amazing therapist who has always gone above and beyond to help my husband and me make the most of our time with her. She validates both of us without ever taking sides, which makes all the difference in the world. She is in it for us and has shown us how to be in it for each other, again. We were on the road to losing that and needed her help us get it back. We have learned how to communicate through well thought-out "role plays" that Andrea has created for us. The "ah-ha" moments happen without having to "spell out" every issue. It has been life changing for us as a couple and as individuals. She has the gift of timing, as well. She knows when to push and when to back off. That is not something that can be taught; that is her putting in the time and effort to get to know us as a couple and individually. When I stop and think about how much she really has to do to keep our therapy moving forward, it is mind boggling. I recommend her for any couple wanting to improve their relationship and strengthen their communication skills. She is a one-of-a-kind human being and therapist who has the heart and compassion to help two people be the best versions of themselves and merge together as an even better couple." - B.M. & S.M.
