Couples

One of the most common concerns couple’s experience is initially described in therapy as “communication issues.” Often times communication issues are simply a symptom and not the actual problem. In the 21st century there are so many hurtles for couples to go over that may align more closely to what is underlying communication issues: finances, children, living situations, family of origin issues, infidelity, substance abuse, mental health conditions, physical health conditions, joblessness, to name a few. Every couple Chris has worked with has had difficulty with at least one of these hurtles.

Chris in this work becomes more of a source of amplification to each voice, as well as a source of stability and normalization. ​He strongly relies on the idea that two things can be true at the same time, or sometimes we must work with what is most apparent in the given moment. However, what might be apparent is not necessarily accurate or most true.
