Communication is always KEY
“We need to learn how to communicate” is the number one reason couple’s turn to CoupleScience for help. We understand that your goal is to communicate in a caring and effective way with your partner. It’s very frustrating when your efforts to improve a situation at home backfire and lead to an argument.
At CoupleScience we dive deep into the origins of problems with communication. We teach you which specific tools will work for you.
“We need to be able to resolve conflicts. We have arguments, but nothing changes.”
When this situation becomes the norm in a relationship, feelings of hopelessness arise. At CoupleScience, we focus on the problems that uniquely affect you in your home. We teach you how to get to the heart of the conflicts that are destroying your partnership. Then we help you learn and practice proven methods that foster positive feelings towards one another, as well as genuine empathy and understanding of one another.
Initial meet and greet
Self-pay Couple's Coaching & Counseling
Relationship problems are totally normal, but there may come a time when you could benefit from professional support.
What's different about CoupleScience?
The primary difference at CoupleScience is we do not see a problematic relationship as the fault of one partner over another. We don't scapegoat individuals. We view the relationship itself as the primary focus. Our interventions are research based and interactive. Couples are guided to focus on the things they will need to do in the long term for the good of their relationship.
The counselor/coach/teachers at CoupleScience are trained to identify the strengths of every relationship and build on those, while ferreting out the problematic mindsets & behaviors that have proven to be detrimental to a happy home.
Since 2020, our practice has provided only online, virtual sessions, for the safety & convenience of our clients. We are no longer restricted to a single location, and are pleased to serve people throughout Florida.
Individual Counseling
We are extremely experienced in helping people overcome stress-related issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship conflicts, and many more issues. I will help you in any way that I can. I believe in helping individuals feel better, have increased energy and hopefulness, as well as achieve goals related to work, school and home.
We offer virtual (Zoom) sessions for individuals who need help with a variety of issues.
Each individual is unique and requires an intelligent and compassionate assessment of their current issues so I can understand not only what is happening to you right now, but also how your past has affected present day problems. Ultimately my goal is to help you become your best self, and find relief from the pain of ongoing anxiety, depression, or trauma.
We help you take the first step. and learn skills to last for years to come.
