"We fight hardest for the things that matter the most to us. Our most intimate relationships are the things that have the ability to leave us feeling the most exposed and vulnerable."

Joanna and several Marriage Therapists here at Matters of the Heart use Emotionally Focused Therapy, EFT, the Gold Standard for treating Relationships.  Joanna isn't afraid to sit in the pit with her couples and help them to see that vulnerable and often scary space as an opportunity to be fiercely courageous! She believes that is where you can connect for maybe the first time to your most authentic self, and then bring that to your partner for a dynamic and passionate connection.

As a couple's therapist, Mandy helps identify patterns within relationships that are unhelpful and contribute to disconnection. To provide more insight about the defense mechanisms that each partner uses and why, Mandy dives into how the family history of each person worked in the past and present.

First, it's important to understand why we react the way we do, becoming familiar with our triggers. Those triggers set off our most painful feelings and fears. After identifying those, we are then able to relate and interact with our loved one with more honesty, openness, and love.

Movement is the goal that Alex wants to cultivate with couples. So often in relationships, couples get stuck. Stuck in pain, hurt, or routine, couples can find themselves not being able to connect with each other like they once did.

This lack of connection creates tension that keeps couples of all kinds stuck in their ways. Alex’s belief is that if momentum can be created for a relationship, a new path can be forged.
