Marital therapy, also called couples therapy or marriage counseling, is a form of psychotherapy designed to help couples resolve their conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their relationship. It operates on the principle that many relationship problems stem from ineffective communication, unresolved conflicts, or unrealistic expectations.
In marital therapy, Dr. Wolfson works with couples to explore and understand their relationship dynamics, including patterns of interaction, power struggles, and emotional triggers. Through open dialogue and guided exercises, couples focus on improving communication, expressing their needs and concerns, and developing empathy and understanding for each other's perspectives. Counseling may also include conflict resolution skills and work to build a couple's resources for managing stress and improving intimacy.
With marital therapy, Dr. Wolfson helps couples experiencing significant relationship problems identify their conflict areas and triggers while establishing new ways of interacting that support a more fulfilling, satisfying, and long-lasting life together. As provided in a safe and supportive environment, the couples openly discuss their concerns, address underlying issues, and work collaboratively towards mutually satisfying solutions.
