About Therapy
How does couples
counseling work, and what can we expect from the process?
When it comes to couples therapy, every therapist has their own unique touch. Dr. Harel Papikian, with over 15 years of experience working with couples from all walks of life in Los Angeles, has developed a brief and intensive approach to creating a lasting change – the ARM Method. It’s all about transformation, powered by 3 steps:
1. Awareness
This phase is all about understanding where you stand as a couple and what you both want out of the relationship. You’ll explore your individual backgrounds, how they’ve shaped you, and what’s contributed to your current dynamics.
2. Release
It’s time to release the old baggage. This phase helps both partners tackle past hurts, emotional baggage, and negative limiting belief systems , clearing the way for a healthier, more harmonious partnership and empowered life.
3. Mastery
The final stage is about skill-building. Here, you’ll learn how to communicate better, resolve conflicts with ease, and develop the tools to make your relationship more loving, connected, and resilient.
