As experienced therapists and educators, we have come to believe that the foundation of the family lies in the couple. We want to nurture couple resilience early on so that couples can bring their best selves to each other, the families they come from as well as to the families they may create.
In our 3 part workshop, couples will learn communication skills to work through conflict more effectively through experiential and structured exercises. Couples will deepen their connection with each other and learn about how to better sustain their bond of attachment .

Apologizing and Forgiveness: Understand Why “I’m Sorry” Is So Important.
Being hurt and hurting another person are inevitable, and society has often taught us that apologizing is the right thing to do. But why?
Psychotherapist LouAnn Smith, LCSW, facilitates a discussion about what an apology is, why it is so sought after yet so difficult to give or accept, and how it affects relationships.
