Welcome to Eichberger Marriage & Family Therapy

What couple therapy looks like-

Couples can look very different- dating, committed, still deciding, engaged, married, partners - there are all kinds! I meet each partner in the couple, no matter where they are. All types of couples are welcome! As a therapist, I take a non-judgmental stance and help each partner explore their experience together. We do this by discovering the negative cycle that appears between partners and then use new tools and techniques to reach a deeper and stronger bond. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT by Dr. Sue Johnson) and The Gottman Method techniques based on the needs of each couple.

What couple therapy is NOT-

It is important to understand that therapy is not a tool to blame a partner or a time to decide who is right or wrong. As a therapist, I will not be taking sides but instead will give each partner a chance to really be heard, even when what we have to say can be so difficult. I am also not a relationship decision maker- the choice of the relationship's future lies in the hands of each partner. 

What to expect-

There is no set amount of sessions since every couple is different but it is helpful to expect an average of 10-30 sessions for couples start to overcome emotional distress and disconnection so they can resolve conflict, heal wounds, and build strong bonds. I will also meet individually with each partner to better understand your backgrounds and attachment histories.
