COUPLES THERAPY
Welcome. Hello, my name is Michelle Kennedy, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I work with Couples. Have you been feeling uneasy around your partner? Do you feel like you’re constantly on edge and moments from an argument? This situation is common for new couples, especially after significant life changes such as getting a place together or getting married. Unfortunately, many people learn to avoid all conflicts in their relationships instead of dealing with them. This avoidance can lead to resentment between partners, which can cause more frequent fighting and lead to long-term problems.
My approach
My style is collaborative, directive, constructive, compassionate, and warm. I have a deep respect for the human condition and am comfortable with the pain that sometimes results from life.
My focus
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows the couple to explore obstacles, develop assertive communication and boundaries with each other that can help improve their quality of life.
My communication style
I am a warm, empathetic, and compassionate listener, cradled with a sense of deep optimism and genuine curiosity derived from my own life experiences. Together, I work with couples to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles and concerns related to their relationships. We’ll work through your patterns, and I’ll help you and your partner grow together via new communication methods. Couples who engage with and complete this process emerge from the other side, feeling closer and seeing each other differently.
