Can Couples Counseling Be Done Alone?

Dads Supporting Dads Divorce Group in West Hartford, CT allows men a space to collaborate and become better co-parents for their children.

Family counseling is a unique type of therapy because it puts the responsibility of the family’s health on everyone’s shoulders.

There is no pointing the finger at one person in the family as if they are “the problem.”

Counseling is not supposed to be so intense and heavy. It is supposed to feel lighter- meaning we shouldn’t become so cerebral that we lose our ability to be ourselves, laugh and can overlook bad moods and silly stuff. When couples are doing well they are not avoiding conflict, but rather engaging in it in a way that is respectful and has a chance to be resolved.
