Laurie Burns CSW-R CGP has been helping couples in Rochester, NY, and the surrounding areas build healthier relationships for more than two decades. Her compassionate couples counseling services and expert, unbiased perspective help couples find a common ground to work out tough issues and reach new levels of respect, understanding, and care for one another.

Here are a few reasons why couples choose to partake in counseling services:

• Brings You Together: When couples schedule professional counseling sessions, they’re making a commitment to come together at the same place and time to work through issues. Setting aside a specific time and place can be a major hurdle, especially for busy couples. Simply agreeing to give each other a little time can encourage couples to work through—instead of walk away from—issues that need to be addressed.

• Gives You A Fresh Perspective: Licensed therapists are experts at working through problems, but they aren’t aware of your relationship history. A therapist's fresh perspective is actually beneficial; they can offer new insights that family and friends may not be able to perceive. Of course, if past issues need to be addressed, couples counseling will help you and your partner work through any deeper underlying problems that may be affecting your present-day relationship.
• Provides A Safe Space: Most importantly, couples counseling is an opportunity for couples to express emotion without having to worry about being overheard. Therapists’ offices are safe, private places for you and your loved one to let your feelings out in a healthy way, which can be very cathartic for both parties.
