Take Your Relationships to the Next Level with Family Counseling.
A loving marriage or partnership can be the cornerstone of our personal identity and our feelings of safety and security. When we feel loved and understood in our marriage, we are better equipped to provide our children the safe and happy homes they deserve. Sometimes relationships can use a “tune-up” to learn a new communication tool or to discuss a challenge. Other times, a couple may want to take a step back or reimagine their partnership. Addressing your feelings in a safe space can be the first step to reconnecting.
A Unique Therapeutic Approach
Dr. Kaminsky works to enhance the elements of families and relationships that matter most:
- Maintaining the strength of the marital bond in the face of adversity. I can help you build togetherness based on a shared intimacy and identity while at the same time setting boundaries to protect each partner's autonomy.
- Establishing a rich and pleasurable sexual relationship and protecting it from the intrusions of the workplace and family obligations.
- Confronting and mastering the inevitable crises of life.
- Using humor and laughter to keep things in perspective and to avoid boredom and isolation.
- Nurturing and comforting each other, satisfying each partner's needs for dependency and offering continuing encouragement and support.
- Keeping the early romantic, idealized images of falling in love alive while facing the sober realities of the changes wrought by time.
- For couples with children, we work on embracing the challenging roles of parenthood and absorb the impact of a baby's entrance into the marriage. In addition, couples learn to continue the work of protecting the privacy of you and your spouse as a couple.
