About

Conflicts in a marriage are rarely about the issues, but instead how couples talk about the issues.

In my couples counseling sessions, partners communicate face-to-face, openly and honestly about their issues. Throughout the conversation we will identify and prevent flashpoints that create conflict escalation. I will give feedback and provide direction for the most effective way to communicate in a given situation. The feedback encourages respectful and mutually compassionate interactions, and helps dispel miscommunications that cause marital tensions. Small steps soon become major strides as couples progress from confrontation and impasse toward resolution of their differences.

The underlying goals of our sessions are to:

• Increase the pleasure of spending time with your partner
• Heighten or reestablish emotional intimacy
• Help rediscover happiness in your relationship

Over the years, Relationship Resources has helped thousands of married and unmarried couples undo rigid and negative patterns of behavior and transform their relationships to newfound levels of happiness and enjoyment.

Dr. Richard Rein, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist, and certified Gottman method couples therapist. For four decades, I have utilized an evidence-based approach for improving relationships. I focus my efforts on the detection of repetitive patterns that create unresolved problems in relationships, as outlined in my books, "Words That Keep Us Together: Practical Strategies For Building, Repairing, And Maintaining A Healthy Relationship" and "The Divorce Prevention Handbook." My approach is based on the science of communication.

What differentiates Relationship Resources from other private practices is its emphasis on the detection of intricate subtleties that create communication setbacks. This highly effective approach has been very successful in improving and saving distressed relationships.
