COUPLES THERAPY / MARITAL THERAPY

with a focus on resolving conflict, enhancing relationships and negotiating individual needs while developing more effective communication skills. Dr. Joffe's approach to working with couples incorporates some of the above techniques as well as conflict/resolution and imago therapy techniques. Dr. Joffe creates an atmosphere where partners feel safe to build/rebuild trust and learn ways to better express and hear each other's needs.   Under her supervision, couples practice new ways of relating to develop more effective communication skills and promote intimacy and caring.

Women’s Therapy Group

Group therapy is a wonderful way to gain insight and consider other possibilities. Working in a group allows for sharing, feedback and developing connections with others. Group members have the opportunity to observe how others resolve problems, experiment with avenues for positive change, practice new behaviors and strategies and receive feedback within a safe, supportive setting. 

Each year we use a different book as a springboard for discussion, sharing and discovery. Some of the books we have used previously:

• “Women Who Run with the Wolves” - Clarissa Estes

• “I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't)” - Brené Brown

• “The Untethered Soul” - Michael Singer

• “Radical Acceptance” - Tara Brach

• “The Places that Scare You” - Pema Chodron

"I never thought I would feel comfortable with the group experience because I have difficulty sharing thoughts and feelings with others. But this group is different. Participants have made me feel safe and welcomed at a time when I needed it most. I would highly recommend participation in this group or others." - Melinda
