COUPLES THERAPY AND NEW WAYS OF CONNECTING
Carol Corcoran, LCMFT, LMFT is a licensed
clinical marriage and family therapist who
guides couples in ways to help them feel safe enough
to bridge the gap of loneliness and isolation and
reconnect with one another by providing an environment
that is safe, supportive and compassionate. There
are almost as many different types of couple's therapy
as there are therapists, some of which are more effective
than others. Carol utilizes the most well researched
therapeutic approaches that have been demonstrated
to provided the best outcome in combination with
a nurturing environment in which she assists partners
to be better able to share their deeper feelings
more safely with one another.
Carol guides the couple in understanding the old patterns that high jack their relationship, and helps them find new ways to alter those emotional and behavioral patterns. This allows them to no longer feel misunderstood and out of control . Once safe enough to understand their relationship patterns and how they got off track, the couple will be assisted to create a deeper more meaningful level of connection where they will be begin to build a bridge to their hearts and once again compassionately face one another. Additional challenges to be faced and worked through include blended family challenges, adoption processes and tools for co-parenting.
As a couple and family therapist, Carol also has extensive knowledge and experience in the area of domestic violence or relationship aggression. This is vitally important as many couples therapists do not have specialized training in this area which can lead to troubling results for one or both partners should aggressive behaviors escalate between sessions. She has also been trained to work with couples where one or both partners may have issues with substance dependence or substance abuse. Depending on the level of aggression and substance dependence, couples therapy may be contraindicated until those issues can be more clearly resolved.
