HomeBlog › Couples Counseling for Pittsburg, KS

You’ve explained it carefully. You’ve tried bringing it up at a better time. You may even understand your partner’s point of view, at least when you’re not in the middle of the argument. Yet the next conversation ends somewhere painfully familiar.

When talking has become frustrating, the prospect of paying to talk more may not sound particularly appealing.

At Radical Relationship Transformation, I work with couples on what happens during those conversations. Where does the tone change? When does a question begin to sound like criticism? What happens when one person wants an answer and the other feels overwhelmed? Those moments give us something specific to work with.

My practice is in Webb City, Missouri, near Joplin, for Pittsburg couples seeking in-person therapy. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help partners understand their recurring pattern and work toward conversations in which they can express what hurts and respond to each other differently.

The practical disagreements still deserve attention. Money, parenting, sex, and responsibilities can all be real sources of strain. We work on the relationship in which those decisions have to be made.

Appointments are 100–110 minutes and cost $180. Sessions are self-pay; I don’t take insurance. To ask about scheduling, call or text 417-768-9089 or email shira@radicalrelationshiptransformation.com.
