Alston Marriage & Family Therapy is now...

Hope

Are you searching for Hope?

I'm glad you're here. 


The fact that you are reading this 

shows that you're not ready to give up. 

There is still love and a longing for connection, 

you just need help rediscovering it.


As human beings we are wired for 

connection and a need to be loved. 

When we feel disconnected in our 

relationships it affects every aspect 

of our lives. As the gap begins to 

grow bigger and bigger between 

us and those we love we lose hope 

of ever finding our way back to them. 


But there is a way. There is hope!


That's why I'm glad you're here. 


We are about bridging the gap of disconnection that has been created by the negative cycles in everyday life. Together couples and individuals can work through feeling 

hopeless in their relationships and 

progress to a place where they can experience closeness, connection, and 

safety in every aspect of their life. 

Start Bridging the Gap

I was impressed from my first meeting with him and never was I disappointed. You will not regret having him one your side and will be forever grateful for what he teaches you.

 Josh has been helping my wife and I to work through some challenges in our relationship. He’s taught us how to talk to each other in a more healthy and respectful way. He’s always very empathetic and kind and he has a specific method. I was worried that going to a marriage counselor would be just randomly talking to a third party about stuff, but instead it’s actually structured in a way that makes sense, and it does help. I highly recommend seeing Josh if you have challenges in your relationship that you can’t overcome yourselves.

Experience

Certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Therapist

I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Therapist who has been evaluated as competent by the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).


As an Certified EFT Therapist I have undergone hours of advanced training and have experience working with Couples, Individuals, & Families.   


EFT is a unique and highly effective form of therapy that helps people understand and improve their emotional connection with themselves and others. Research studies find that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements. (ICEEFT.com) 

EMDR

(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.  (to learn more visit EMDR.com)

Sex Therapy

"Sex need to be worth wanting... Sex isn’t something we do, it’s a place we go". - Ester Perel


If where you’re going is nowhere within yourself and your relationship, then your sex life will always feel like a task rather than a destination worth wanting. And sadly a place you never get to go yourself, much less take your partner. 


— but that can change.
