What is couples Therapy?
Couples therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach that focuses on romantic relationships. Couples therapy identifies areas of strength and weakness in relationships, helps partners repair and heal conflicts, and reconnects relationships both emotionally and sexually. PDX Therapy Center uses evidenced-based therapy approaches including Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Gottman Method techniques to help you reach your relationship goals.
Do you work with non-monogamous relationships?
YES! PDX Therapy Center knows and understands that each relationship is unique. We work with dyadic, polyamorous, and non-monogamous relationships of many forms. We offer a nonjudgmental, open, and welcoming space for relationships to explore what works best for you and help you reach your goals.
What if my partner doesn’t want to come?
While difficult, this situation is not uncommon. Often, one person may be ready for therapy before their partner. If this is the case, we encourage you to reach out to us. Our professional therapist will discuss your particular situation and help you identify the best plan for moving forward.
