Couples Therapy
What is Couples Therapy
Relationships bring moments of joy as well as periods of tension, and it is completely normal for couples to need extra support during challenging times. At Forest Family Therapy, couples therapy is designed to help partners strengthen communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild or deepen their connection. Whether you are facing recurring disagreements, concerns about intimacy, or navigating a major life transition, couples therapy offers a supportive space to work through these experiences together.
Jane’s Approach to Couples Therapy
Jane’s approach emphasizes open communication, empathy, and practical relationship building tools. Using evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she helps couples understand their interaction patterns, identify underlying issues, and develop healthier ways of relating to one another.
Jane is also certified in Prepare and Enrich, an evidence based program that supports both premarital and married couples. This framework helps partners identify strengths and growth areas, improve communication, and develop skills that support a strong and connected relationship. Sessions are designed to help both partners feel heard, respected, and supported as you work together toward lasting positive change.
