What Are Couples Therapy Techniques?
The experts at Healthy Minds NYC use top-rated couples therapy techniques to help improve your relationship.
EMOTION-FOCUSED THERAPY (EFT)
COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)
EFT is a therapeutic approach. It works off the premise that emotions are the key to identity and the decision-making process. Lacking emotional awareness or avoiding unpleasant feelings may cause harm in a relationship.
With EFT, your therapist helps you and your partner become more aware and accepting of your emotions. You’ll learn how to transform them to prevent negative or harmful behaviors.
The Gottman Method is a therapeutic technique specific to couples therapy. With the Gottman method, your therapist aims to improve verbal communication. You’ll notice changes in affection, empathy, and understanding between you and your partner.
GOTTMAN METHOD
CBT is a form of psychotherapy that helps you recognize negative or distorted thoughts. During sessions, you will work together to create new, healthy thought patterns.
Our couples therapy experts at Healthy Minds NYC determine the technique that’s best suited to help you and your partner. The goal is always to develop a more satisfying relationship.
Who Needs Couples Therapy?
