Kelly Beninga
Marriage & Family Therapist -
Our happiness in life is often dependent on the quality of our relationships. Struggles with communication, dysfunctional patterns of relating, and wounds from the past can leave a potentially great relationship in tatters. I use a mindful approach to couples counseling to reveal and release these blocks to love and intimacy by harnessing the couple’s innate drive toward healing and growth.Just talking about personal and interpersonal problems like many conventional counseling approaches can provide insight to relationship issues, but rarely provides lasting change in patterns. True change requires more than an intellectual understanding of your problems. My experiential approach to resolution of relationship issues creates change right in the office by facing destructive patterns head-on and practicing healthy alternatives for emotional expression and behavior. Change is created on the mental, emotional, and body level so new ways of relating emerge naturally.If you and your partner are struggling, you are recovering from divorce, or are newly entering the dating scene, I’m here to help. With extensive training and experience in couple’s counseling, mindfulness, and healing of relationship issues of all kinds, I provide a safe, kind, and insightful approach that will get you back on track to create loving, supportive, and satisfying relationships.
