At OCCC, we understand your commitment
to your faith and to each other.

Sometimes life is difficult, and you need a safe place to talk things through — a place where your faith is taken seriously.

Through years of study and clinical practice, we know that the answers are simple. And we know they're not always easy.

At the Heart of the Matter

In the midst of difficulties, the bottom line question in your relationship is, "Can I count on you to be here when I need you?" You want and need to hear your partner's response clearly:

Yes, I'm here for you.

However, many couples get stuck in a negative cycle that seems to take over their relationship. Neither partner feels safe, so round and round they go, passionately trying to break free of the cycle.

New Hope for Breaking the Cycle

Attachment theory offers practical steps to save and enrich a relationship by reestablishing safe emotional connection and preserving the attachment bond. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a short term (8-20 sessions), structured approach to couples therapy formulated in the early 80s.

Research studies find that 70-73% of couples move from distress to recovery, and approximately 90% show significant improvements in their relationships.

Choosing the Right Therapist is Important to You Both!

Finding the right therapist could save you a lot of time and money and frustration! Both you and your partner need to feel comfortable with your choice, so we offer a free 30-minute consultation, wherein you can interview the therapist, to help insure you're on the same page.
