Couples Therapy

A Holistic Approach to Couples Counseling

• Are you and your partner having difficulty communicating with each other?
• Do you find yourselves experiencing the same conflicts over and over without the root cause being addressed?
• Are you missing when things in your relationship felt more natural, flowing, and fun?
• Is there a sense that childhood trauma is impacting things in your present relationship for one or both of you?

All long-term relationships experience challenges as partners grow, both as individuals and as a couple. Even the strongest couples face unique challenges and stuck points. When conflicts arise, we don’t always have the skills to resolve and get underneath them on our own because we are both so close to the situation. It is often unresolved childhood wounds that have nothing to do with our partner that can be impacting things on a deeper level. 

In the couples trauma therapy world, we often say “we are damaged in childhood relationship, and we are healed in adult relationship.”Our romantic relationships are often the place where our deepest core wounds get triggered the most. While this can be deeply frustrating, it is an incredible opportunity for healing and deeper connection on the other side of couples or marriage counseling. 

Sometimes, we can only get so far on our own as we cannot see our own blind spots, as individuals or as a couple. If the same dynamics keep occurring, there are likely underlying root patterns leading to the recurrent tensions which can lead to frustration, resentment, and emotional distance. This can affect emotional and physical intimacy, as well as parenting and larger family dynamics. Seeking professional support through couples or marriage therapy can help you and your partner to reconnect, improve communication, and expand your mutual consciousness into what helps you both to thrive most.

Why Traditional Talk Therapy Alone Isn’t Always Enough for Couples

If you have tried marriage therapy or couples counseling before and did not experience lasting results, our integrative approach may be what you have been looking for. Approximately 75% of Quantum clients tell us that they have not found success in prior tries at more traditional therapy, and we are proud to offer a holistic approach that seems to deeply resonate with our satisfied clients.

Our team of holistic couples and marriage therapists draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities including The Gottman Method, Structural Family Therapy, Family Systems Approach, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other somatic therapies for those who desire such an approach.

Research shows that relationship distress doesn’t just exist in the brain; stress, anxiety, and trauma response is mostly located within the body’s autonomic nervous system (ANS). Our team of highly trained couples and marriage counselors specialize in providing you with the nervous system regulation tools to decrease tension within your dynamic, improve communication flow, and foster greater intimacy in your relationship than perhaps ever before.

The Quantum couples counseling team takes a totally individualized, holistic approach to meet your unique needs, strengths, values, and culture. Your Quantum couples therapist will take their time in learning each of your unique cultural and family histories and help you to expand your awareness about how life experiences or trauma may be impacting you in the present. Attachment styles, psychoeducation around the nervous system, tools such as meditation and breathwork, and other holistic modalities may be incorporated based on your unique preferences as a couple. For folks who identify with spiritual beliefs, we encourage you to bring those beliefs and associated values into the session room as an additional support piece in your relationship healing.

Services That Quantum Specializes In For Couples And Marriage Therapy

It is common for couples to seek therapy after struggling to resolve relationship challenges on their own. While more traditional solely talk therapy has its benefits, it often falls short in addressing the deeper emotional and nervous system root causes that impact stress and anxiety in a partnership or marriage. Our holistic approach to marriage counseling and couples therapy offers more than just talking about problems in circles session after session. Quantum offers deeper insight into root causes of tension, concrete strategies and tools, and education around trauma, the nervous system, and other helpful areas within the mind and body that you can take with you for years to come.
