RELATIONSHIPS
ARE RELATIONAL
Dr. Stephen Madigan is internationally recognized as a highly gifted couple therapist.
Stephen writes “intimate relationships I meet with in therapy are filled with unexpected events, transgressions, ongoing change, and day-to-day complexities. So please ~ do your research, take your time, and choose your couple therapist wisely.”
Stephen is an award winning couple therapist who holds an MSW and, MSc and PhD in Couple and Family Therapy. His therapeutic approach is based on a) years of deep practice knowledge gained through b) thousands of client session learning hours, and c) resulting in crucial understandings facing present day couple relationships and the best long term solutions going forward.
His work with couples is respected world wide for its ‘immense creativity’, ‘sustainable long term change’, and ‘common sense’ approach to helping conflicted couple relationships heal, change, and grow forward.
Couples arriving into therapy encounter a wide range of therapeutic skills, practice experience, unique relational questions, therapeutic letters, and conflict resolution abilities. Couple relationships can expect long lasting relationship repair, rebuilding, and rejuvenation.
Since 2015, Stephen gets invited back (again and again) to teach couple therapy workshops across five continents. He is currently contracted to supervise and consult High Couple Conflict Therapy Teams, around the world.
Central to his therapeutic practice understanding is how couple relationships are relational (and cannot be viewed otherwise). Where couple relationships are located within the powerful influences (and at times negative affects) of countless other relationships that shape relationship life ~ work, children, children’s activities, social expectations, norms and obligations, extended family responsibilities, etc.
Finding ways to take care of your intimate relationship within these relationships is often difficult but ~ is possible. Stephen’s intention is to help show couples how.
*Please note: Dr. Madigan continues to spend 20% of his therapy practice working with individuals experiencing the negative effects of extremely busy lifestyles and high volume stress in the workplace. He was the primary therapist to Vancouver’s film industry for 13 years. So yes, he’s seen it all.
Working from his relationship-focused, cost-efficient, and resolution-based therapy method, couples and individual clients normally spend 3 to 6 sessions in therapy, depending on their specific needs.
“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”
