If you are looking for couples therapy, you are most likely in a lot of pain. By the time a marriages reaches for help, spouses have already suffered tremendously. Bitterness and resentment have built up and you feel slighted. Even though you are upset and blame our spouse for the state of the marriage, you want a better marriage, love and support, and want to connect with them. Unfortunately, many of the theories used to practice couples therapy are less effective. The focus remains on communication skills and does not reach the deeper needs of the marriage. Focusing only on communication skills is like putting a bandaid on an infected wound; the real issues causing the problem are ignored and fester over time. I use a more effective theory that reaches the underlying needs of each spouse. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) has reported the highest success rate of any couples therapy theory.Read more

Relational problems that existed apart from the addiction may exacerbate the problem. Why would someone continue with a behavior that is causing so many negative consequences? Read more

Testimonials
“Our family has seen numerous therapists over the years for a variety of reasons with very little results. Then last year we were introduced to Mike Thompson. He has had a completely different approach to our marriage therapy, our PTSD issues, and other personal challenges that our blended family presents. And for the first time in 7 years of therapy, we have had a significant amount of growth and improvement… In one word, he’s AMAZING.” - ”Author
“I recommend working with Mike Thompson because of the sound principles that he utilizes in therapy. One of my favorite things about working with Mike is how quickly he seems to intuit what is the best direction to move in. He asks me challenging questions that make me re-evaluate my previous assumptions and take a closer look at my relationships. I am surprised again and again at what he perceives and how that skill assists him in making therapy progress at a steady pace. His insight has added depth to our work and to my own realizations.” - ”Author
