Relationship Counseling

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is a highly effective treatment in which 90% of couples report significant improvement within 10 to 12 sessions. Furthermore, results seem to last even at two year follow up. However, for couples who have experienced trauma or an affair, healing usually takes longer than a few months. EFCT helps couples discover the dance or cycle that they find themselves in which makes them feel unseen, unheard, and hopeless and enables them to make changes in how they process each other’s concerns. Allow Dr. Rojas to help you learn to resolve conflicts in a calm and productive manner, reconnect at a deeper level, and restore the passion and vision that you once had for your lives together. 

Additionally, she has been trained in the Gottman Method, a model with over 40 years of research proving its effectiveness. Dr. Rojas completed the Level III Practicum Training in the Gottman Method. It is focused on developing the healthy habits that long term happily married couples have reported using and addresses conflict resolution deficits. She will draw from over 50 interventions developed by Gottman to address your specific relationship needs. 

Dr. Rojas can help you not only avoid the pain and expense of divorce, but also get your relationship to a place where you are best friends. She also works with couples who have decided to get divorced but want to uncouple in the most amicable way and heal any lingering wounds from the marriage. Dr. Rojas has worked with couples who have a trauma history, personality disorder, sex or other addiction, anger management/emotion regulation issues, need help with affair recovery, have grown apart, are struggling with infertility issues, are dealing with the added stress of raising a special needs child, are neurodivergent, are interracial or interfaith, and much more. *Note: She does not treat couples who have engaged in domestic violence.

Dr. Rojas also counsels clients who would like to work on their past or current relationship issues on an individual basis. Many clients did not have healthy role models growing up and want help with co-dependency, please pleasing, or navigating dating in a rapidly changing environment and/or preparation for a healthy marriage.
