Psychotherapy for couples in Montreal
Jason Phelps offers psychotherapy services in Montreal to couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship. Couples therapy or marital counselling is most effective as a means of preventing unnecessary separation or divorce by identifying problem areas in the relationship and finding lasting solutions. Common areas of work in couples counselling include communication, trust, intimacy, boundary setting and responsibility sharing.
In some couples addiction, adultery or violence will inflict serious damage to the relationship. These problems or behaviours must often be worked on individually before couples counselling can be effective. Once the offending partner has ceased their destructive behaviour, reparative couple therapy is often required for real progress to be made. Jason Phelps will work with any spouse that wants to change their own abusive Behavior or that of their partner. This work can take place in phases where individual psychotherapy is followed closely by couple counselling.
Frequently, one partner in a relationship will come to the conclusion that marriage counselling is needed while the other resists. Jason Phelps will work with either partner individually even if the other is not ready to engage in the process themselves.
Prevention is the key to maintaining healthy and lasting relationships. If the same problem keeps popping up and there doesn’t seem to be a common solution in sight, psychotherapy for couples may be just the thing to help you get back on track.
If you or someone you know needs to talk about making a change in their couple, Jason Phelps is a psychotherapist in Montreal that can help.
