Couples Therapy

Couples often seek the assistance of a therapist to help with a wide variety of relationship issues including:

• Poor communication
• Lack of intimacy
• Infidelity
• Sexual Dysfunction
• Anger

Dr. Jacobs meets with a couple several times to obtain the couples history, as well as a history of the prior relationships of each person. In addition, information about each person's family of origin, relationships with each parent, and their parents' relationship with each other are explored.

After the initial consultation period, Dr. Jacobs meets regularly with the couple. Couples therapy may include homework such as "intimacy exercises" and recommended readings.
