Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Not all couples come into counseling because of a crisis in their relationship. Many clients that I see describe a parallel functioning to their relationship- almost like 2 ships sailing on parallel paths but not really every connecting. There are few things more painful that being lonely when you are not alone but with a partner. Therapy can help to address that and to give you the skills and understanding to make changes in your relationship.

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find {with awareness and compassion} all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ Rumi So much of my work with couples comes back to this quote. When we are aware of those barriers within ourselves we can get a lot further a lot faster than details of daily life that so quickly distract us from our true work.

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship Expert by John M Gottman and Nan Silver
