Co-Therapy Experience When Working With Couples...
Eric & Erica Specialize In Helping Couples Of All Backgrounds, Cultures & Ethnicities
Relationships aren't 50-50, only divorces are. In a healthy and satisfying relationship, you and your partner EACH needs to give the relationship 100% effort, desire, love, motivation, compassion, and empathy. Common misperceptions of successful relationships are reflected in the phrases: "2-halves becoming 1" and "Happy Wife - Happy Life." Rather, we view relationships as 2 individuals joining together to form a successful and powerful "Relationship." Mathematically, think of it not as "1+ 1 = 2" but as "1 + 1 = 3."
Common Issues
Couples Seek Our Expert Help To Solve Problems Impacting Their Relationship
Communications:
Communication issues are the most common "problem" that cause couples to seek our expert help. You are likely asking yourself one or more of these questions: Why do we keep fighting about the same issue? Why does it feel like we're living in gridlock? Why have we focused on being "right" than being "accommodating?" Why does it feel like a tug-of-war instead of working on the relationship's needs and desires? Do you often feel that whatever you say you are "wrong" or feel "imprisoned" by your words? We Help Couples To Communicate Effectively!

Infidelity & Affairs
Infidelity and mistrust often destroy relationships. The victim of the infidelity often questions not only their partner's motives - but their own identity. They morph into the role of detective and seek detailed answers from their partner. They often ask questions such as "Why did it happen?," "How did it happen?," "When did it happen?," "Why me/us?," "Can we ever recover?," "Can I ever trust him/her again?," "What's wrong with me?," or "Tell me what I did wrong or how I may have caused it somehow?" We Help Couples To Heal & Recover By Rebuilding Trust & Safety.

Parenting & Step-Families
A study of parents revealed that a vast majority were less satisfied with their marital relationship after children than before children. Common issues that we help parents navigate are: (i) holding similar values and morals, but having different parenting styles; (ii) creating a strong parental unit to avoid triangulating children in the couple relationship; and (iii) step-family and step-parent dynamics and challenges. We also have experience working with parents after divorce. In "co-parenting" therapy the focus is on creating a peaceful environment for future communications and decision-making - and not an exploration of past problems. We Help Couples To Overcome Parenting Challenges.

Sex & Intimacy
Intimacy in relationships often means different things to each partner. For some, it may be associated with sex. For others, it may be more about an emotional vulnerability and connection. We help couples overcome the intimacy challenges in their relationship by opening-up their communication to focus on better understanding the meaning their partner places on the intimacy - rather than just providing couples with basic and simple exercises found all over the internet. Common issues include: (i) changes in physical intimacy; (ii) various sexual needs at different stages of life; and (iii) the impact of infidelity or "emotional cheating." We Help Couples To Create Deeper Intimacy Levels.

A couple's strong bond is special and the foundation of the relationship. Eric & Erica expertly help couples to repair their relationship when in jeopardy of falling apart. We then focus on providing the couple with techniques and creative interventions to strengthen the core of the relationship. Our goal is short-term therapy focused on measurable outcomes and achievable goals.
Why We're Unique
We Are A Happily Married Couple Helping Other Couples To Thrive
Husband & Wife Team:
Eric and Erica are both Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists. We have been happily married for 22+ years. We have two teenage children, a boy and a girl, and have been through many challenges in life that often break-up couples and marriages. However, rather than destroy our relationship, we intentionally chose to join forces to focus of the needs of our relationship - and not solely our individual needs - to overcome and conquer those immense difficult and overwhelming situations. As a couple, we work together with other couples in our unique and innovative co-therapy format.

Balanced Approach:
Our experience working with many couples has confirmed our belief that men and women often have concerns that working only with a male or female therapist may favor the male or female member of the couple unit. We believe that people's perceptions are their reality, and that such perceptions -- regardless if objectively true or untrue -- can inhibit the development of an effective client -therapist relationship (i.e., trust, safety and comfort being vulnerable in sessions). As a husband and wife team, we intentionally ensure that our couples feel we are fair, non-judgmental, and never "take-sides" against either partner.

Multiple Perspectives:
Couple's benefit from our ability to combine individual perspectives about life, marriage, relationships, children, extended families, therapeutic models used and preferred interventions, into a coherent approach. Our goal is to be "a couple helping another couple" nurture, strengthen and grow their relationship.

Our Style Is Not For Everyone:
Couples may desire therapy because they are seeking quick solutions. They want to leave each session with a handout or specific "trick" that they can use when they go home. We don't believe in this "bandaid" approach to couple's counseling. Erica and Eric believe that simply scraping away the scab will not produce long-term lasting change in the couple's interactional patterns of behavior. Rather, we focus on removing the scab, deep cleaning the relational wound of its poisonous bacteria, and then working with the couple to suture the wound back up to grow a permanent and minimally visible scar. If you want surface-level therapy, we aren't a good fit for you. If you want long-term lasting change, let us help you today.

Eric & Erica vs. Only 1 Therapist
It's a No-Brainer!
Pros
Cons

In the single therapist experience (left image), One Therapist is the only go-between with the couple & the discussion is very limited and restricted.
Co-Therapy with Husband & Wife Team Eric & Erica (right image), allows the dialogue, analysis, and interactions are spread among all 4-people in the room - creating a balanced, interactive and effective environment
Conclusion: Co-Therapy With Eric & Erica Is Best For All Couples!

Affordable Fees
Services Focused On Client's Needs - Not Those Of Insurance Companies
Private Pay Only:
INSURANCE companies use to simply pay bills for services rendered. It was a simple and clear arrangement that generally worked-well for both patients and providers. Insurance companies have morphed into entities that not just pay or reimburse medical bills - but control most of the process of the patient-provider relationship.
AFFORDABLY priced session fees accommodate almost all budgets. We also offer convenient choice of either 50-minute or 80-minute sessions.
CONTROL of the therapist-client relationship, including number of sessions, frequency of sessions, and length of sessions, should be between ourselves and our clients.
