Deepen your relationships with communication, curiosity and compassion.
Strengthen your relationships
Coupleship involves the commitment entered into by two people seeking passionate, emotional, sexual, spiritual, and integral relationships—where they strive to hold each other in high regard by respecting the way each of you has your own unique self expression.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling supports exploring this commitment. By using action methods and learning about each other’s attachment styles, couples therapy fosters effective communication through understanding each other’s attachment and communication styles. It provides support in recognizing how childhood narratives reemerge and how difficulties in expressing needs can lead to assumptions and misunderstandings. Learning to reverse roles, express and be heard on difficult topics enhances problem-solving capabilities. This is a wonderful opportunity for premarital counseling to prepare for the weaving of your lives together.
Coupleship Intensive
Coupleship intensives provide an opportunity to explore who you are in your relationship and how your stories have woven together. Spending 3 to 4 days with your therapist allows you to dive deep beneath the surface and explore the roots of your story together. Discovering the epigenetic stories from your childhood experiences untangles the knots that have evolved in your present relationship. Humans often recreate wounded relationships until we bring awareness to their roots, allowing healing of old stories carried in our nervous systems. This deep dive together reweaves your narrative as a couple with clear intention and insight into creating your shared identity in your relationship.
Coupleship Intensive Retreats
Coupleship intensive retreats can take place in one of two beautiful locations:
In Saugerties, New York, nestled amidst the Catskill Mountains with the Hudson River providing a serene backdrop for delving into your story. Accommodation can be arranged at a local bed and breakfast or AirBNB.
Alternatively, in Damariscotta, experience the best of Maine's coastline at Damariscotta Lake, offering activities like kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and trips to the Pemaquid Lighthouse and other mid-coast wonders. Accommodation is available on-site in a glamping setup.
Testimonials
“We decided to see Marcy because we needed some help with our relationship. We were thinking about getting married but felt that there were some things we needed to work on to make our union more loving. We both wanted to feel really good about the decision to spend the rest of our lives together and working with Marcy helped us achieve that goal. Her therapeutic skills and her understanding of relational issues combined with her approach of creating empathy and compassion for each other was key to navigating our differences and it brought us closer together. Thank you Marcy! We are so grateful to you and if and when we hit a rough patch we will certainly reach out to you. ”
