Together, we will identify and resolve issues by using your strengths, priorities, and needs for your life. We will develop the best treatment plan to enable you to do what you need to do.....grow, let go, forgive, cope, grieve, learn better self care, make better decisions, gain insight and/or make changes for a more content and satisfying life. It takes courage to enter therapy and it may not be easy at times. However, we are in it together and we will get through it together. I am only doing telehealth at this time. You MUST confirm that your insurance plan covers this benefit.

Currently offering couples counseling sessions. Please inquire if interested. Welcome! My name is Tanya Farrar Brooks and I am a licensed mental health counselor who began her own therapeutic journey while very much entrenched in an unhealthy relationship. When I began therapy, I could not have known the impact that it would have on my ability to move on from that relationship and discover who I truly was. My decision to take that brave step of talking to a stranger was life-changing. Through that process, I was able to find my strength, and my voice.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
