Couples Therapy
All couples have conflicts. The difference between happy and unhappy couples is whether they have a healthy process of repair. Dr. Bailey specializes in helping couples develop that repair process. The way many couples argue leaves them feeling frustrated, distant, and unfulfilled instead of feeling resolved and reconnected. Eventually they stop talking because it just turns into a fight. Without a healthy repair process they often grow apart and become more like roommates. Approaching couples from an attachment perspective, he helps couples develop the closeness and connection they desire. The process entails identifying negative patterns, stop blaming each other and learning how to find more effective ways to respond to each other.
Sexual Relationship and Problematic Sexual Behaviors
Dr. Bailey has worked a lot with couples struggling with their sexual relationship. He has extensive experience in treating problematic sexual behaviors including pornography, affairs, and online sexual behaviors. These behaviors create a lot of hurt and mistrust in a relationship. Dr. Bailey helps individuals address the underlying issues related to these behaviors and helps couples heal from the damage, and rebuild trust. In addition, he specializes in helping couples deal with intimacy problems in their marriage, both physical and emotional, which often creates a lot of frustration and distance.
Men in Therapy
Dr. Bailey has a unique focus in working with men who are often skeptical about therapy. Often men will use work, alcohol, sex, pornography, money, gambling, or other behaviors to deal with feelings or stress. These numbing out behaviors often lead men to be emotionally detach from their partners which leads to more serious problems in their relationships. However through therapy, Dr. Bailey helps couples learn how to work through issues and connect to each other instead of escaping to unhealthy behaviors that drive them further apart.
