Rebuild, Strengthen, and Deepen Your Relationship
At Bedrock Therapies, we know that every couple faces challenges—whether due to communication issues, recurring arguments, or unmet needs. Relationships can grow stronger through those challenges, but only when both partners are committed to empathy, assertiveness, and respect. In couples therapy, we provide a safe, supportive space to work through conflicts, reconnect emotionally, and nurture the partnership you both desire.
What is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy at Bedrock Therapies helps partners understand each other’s needs, improve communication, and resolve conflicts in a healthy and constructive way. We do not focus on “fixing” your partner; instead, we empower both individuals to discover tools for self-expression, listening, and problem-solving. Our approach blends evidence-based practices to help you rebuild trust, rekindle emotional intimacy, and create a partnership built on mutual respect.
We draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Based on Dr. Richard Schwartz’s work in You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For, we help partners tap into their internal leadership to improve communication and resolve emotional blocks.
TEAM CBT: Developed by Dr. David Burns in Feeling Good Together, we teach practical tools like the “Five Secrets of Communication” to promote healthy dialogue.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Focusing on fostering emotional connection and attachment.
Mindfulness: Helping partners stay present, reduce reactivity, and build empathy.
DBT’s DEAR MAN: A structured technique to help partners assertively express their needs while maintaining respect and avoiding conflict escalation.
Key Aspects of Our Couples Therapy Approach
Empathy: Truly understanding your partner’s perspective, which fosters a deeper emotional connection.
Assertiveness: Using tools like DEAR MAN to express needs honestly, without blame or defensiveness.
Respect: Acknowledging each other’s individuality and maintaining dignity.
Healthy Boundaries: Balancing personal space and mutual goals.
Commitment to Success
