Couples Therapy
Trust is the key to intimacy. Without trust, the opportunity for closeness, connection, and communication is lost and not soon found.
The most significant and intimate relationship in our life occurs with someone we marry or to whom we give our heart and soul. There are many opportunities along the lifeline of this vital relationship to apply the principles of Relationship Intelligence (r.IQ) and build, strengthen, nourish, or repair the connection. Doing so will promote and preserve emotional health, bolster interpersonal well-being, and develop meaningful relational longevity.
Helping couples learn how to effectively and efficiently reconnect following moments of disconnection lies at the heart of becoming relationally intelligent. Dr. Zierk’s process focuses on assisting teams to understand the empowering features associated with rebuilding trust, discovering profound truth, reestablishing meaningful commitment, and learning about intimacy's beautiful dimensionality and simplicity. Dr. Zierk refers to this as learning the power of Valuable Partnership.
In some relationships, circumstances or situations make separation and dissolution of the ties unavoidable. Transitioning a relationship from partnership to parting ways is a complex process, especially when children are involved. However, by imbuing the process with constructive and relationally intelligent values and treatment, this often destructive and emotionally damaging experience can instead lead to positive growth and transformation. Dr. Zierk refers to this as learning the power of Valuable Divorce.
Working together, Dr. Zierk’s relationship-focused approach to therapy (Relationship Intelligence: r.IQ, for short) helps life partners learn times of uncertainty and better manage conflict to become refreshingly and more resiliently reconnected - better than ever before. This is done by understanding and implementing the four foundational building blocks – trust, truth, commitment, intimacy, and learning and applying the functional building blocks - balance, perspective, awareness, and adaptability.
