Couples Therapy
Whether you are in a new or longer-term relationship, engaging in couple's therapy will provide you and your partner with the support and insight needed to understand and work through your relationship difficulties. You will gain the ability to better manage conflicts, to identify and avoid repeating patterns of distress, and develop effective communication skills.
Dr. Perper's approach to couple's therapy is solution-focused and supportive. You will have the opportunity to explore feelings that may be undermining your communication and uncover ways of thinking that may be preventing you and your partner from deeply connecting. Through couple's therapy you and your partner will begin to reconnect with the desire that brought you together and rebuild a sense of trust and admiration.

Premarital Therapy
Entering into marriage is an exciting yet serious commitment. Marriage is one of the biggest transitions a person can make, and so it is quite normal to experience feelings of anxiety, confusion, and even doubt. Premarital therapy provides couples with a safe place to openly discuss expectations, desires, needs, and concerns. You will be given the opportunity to discuss sensitive topics that are easily overlooked, such as sex, money, children, roles, in-laws, and religion. Premarital therapy can help make for a smooth transition into marriage and build a strong foundation for a fulfilling and enduring connection.
Divorce Therapy
The decision to divorce is not easy. Divorce is a process that can evoke strong painful emotions such as anger, shame, betrayal, and fear of the future. You may feel overwhelmed with the legal and emotional aspects of a divorce. During this time it is comforting to know that help is available.
Divorce therapy can help you understand your emotions more clearly, respond to stressful situations in a more balanced way, and direct your feelings towards positive transformations.
Divorce therapy can assist you with:
Maintain a cooperative relationship with your ex-spouse
Develop positive co-parenting approaches
Personal growth
Keeping a clear head in order to make good decisions
Instilling a sense of meaning and purpose in your life
