Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. Here is a list of them.
1) Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it? 2) It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong." 3) Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy.Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too).

Relationship issues cover a vast array of areas in our lives. We have relationships with our immediate families, extended families, friends, romantic partners, co-workers, and supervisors -- just to name a few! At times, these relationships can become complex, or even toxic to our well-being. Understanding how to best navigate your current relationships, and even uncover patterns of relating, can greatly improve your relationships and reduce overall stress in your life.

Marriage & Family Counseling
Who needs marriage counseling? There's an expression "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts". Healthy individuals make up healthy families. One individual in the family affects other parts of the family - just as one affected part of our body can affect the other parts of our body. Marriage and family therapy helps to sort through the many issues families struggle with.
With so much chaos and struggle happening outside of the home, it is so important that the home be stable, safe and a "sanctuary." Does that mean perfect? No, there are no perfect families, no perfect moms, dads, brothers or sisters. Struggles and conflicts in families are normal... while families aren't perfect they can learn, grow and heal from any hurts created.
There may be a need to deal with conflict in new ways, and better understand one another. Siblings may fight and compete with one another. Spouses may struggle with shared parenting roles. Someone may feel like the black sheep or sense that treatment is favored toward one child or not strict enough for another.
Marriage problems are part of life. It is a comfort to have an unbiased objective third person in marriage counseling and family counseling to coach and encourage new patterns and different ways to work through differences. Start counseling soon and experience healthier happier relationships.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been married over 43 years so I can tell you, relationships are hard but so worth it. I love working with couples to help them realize what really is normal and messy and how to navigate normal and messy. I will listen to you and your partner describe what each of you see as an issue, then hear your examples and teach each of you how you can approach the situation differently to give you a better outcome. Couples come in thinking they are going to tell me everything that is wrong with their partner and to fix them. I help individuals realize how their own actions can change the outcome. Once everyone focuses on doing their own work, then they see the desired outcome in the relationship. It sounds uncomfortable, but it's really a lot of fun and we laugh a lot.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I provide couples therapy to partners who want to deepen their relationship and overcome challenges. In some cases, an event has shaken the relationship; in others, couples want to work on making their bond the best it can be. Marriage counseling can make a huge difference, whether there are significant issues or just a feeling that things could be (or have been) better. Marriage counseling and relationship therapy often shows relatively fast results.
