"Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." ~ Goethe
As a licensed marriage and family therapist in Pasadena, California, I, Elvina Lui, am dedicated to helping couples improve their relationships and achieve a more fulfilling life together. With years of experience in couples therapy, I have developed a unique approach that combines traditional therapy techniques with a deep understanding of human relationships.
Our Approach to Couples Therapy
My approach to helping couples is two-fold. First, I help couples resolve old issues and unresolved conflicts that have built up over time. This involves creating a safe and non-judgmental space for both partners to share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Second, I work with couples to develop practical strategies and communication skills to improve their daily interactions and relationships.
The Importance of Commitment
To achieve success in couples therapy, both partners must be committed to the process and willing to work together to improve their relationship. Without a shared commitment to make progress and avoid further conflict, the therapy process may not be effective. When both partners are committed to the process, we can work together to achieve lasting positive changes in the relationship.
The Therapy Process
In our sessions, we will typically meet once a week, but the frequency of sessions may vary depending on the specific needs of the couple. Each session will last for a minimum of two hours, and we will work together to identify and address the root causes of the relationship issues. We will also develop practical strategies and work on improving communication skills to improve daily interactions.
Insurance and Out-of-Network Benefits
Yes, I take insurance, and I am happy to provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Please contact me directly to inquire about the specific insurance plans I accept and to schedule a consultation.
Determining Effectiveness
Determining when therapy has been effective is a crucial part of the process. We will establish clear goals at the beginning of counseling, and these goals will guide the direction of our sessions. When we have achieved these goals, we can determine that therapy has been effective, and we can consider bringing the counseling to a close.
Conclusion
If you are struggling in your relationship and seeking a fresh start, I am here to help. With my expertise and guidance, we can work together to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. I look forward to supporting you on this journey.
