Most people seeking couples counseling in Bethesda, MD are not “sick” in the medical sense, but they may be experiencing mental and emotional pain, they may be frustrated and discouraged about not reaching their life goals or they may not be functioning optimally. Dr. Durana has found that often, people persevere in using old strategies even when those are not effective, or avoiding and evading the problem; often, they may not have someone to listen in a caring way so that they can take the time to take themselves away from the problem and ponder on solutions. After feeling demoralized in their unsuccessful problem solving efforts or powerless about changing things, individuals then resort to therapy. In this perspective, the mere act of going to therapy expresses an “I can do it” attitude, and is then seen as an “act of hope.”

According to studies, the success of couples counseling in Reston, VA is evaluated in four factors. The client’s power for growth and self-healing accounts for forty percent of the success. Every person has strengths and resources; these may include beliefs, values, feelings, skills, knowledge, experience, abilities, relational capacity, and many others. An effective therapy is therefore, one that’ll help clients appropriate their resources. Dr. Durana emphasizes that what has worked rather than what has failed it, brings out strengths, competencies, and resources. By assuming that we can change most easily from a position of strength, not failure, problem solving is facilitated and self-esteem enhanced. By looking at what is right with people, what works or has worked for them in the past and by identifying assets in what people say and do, peoples’ capacity for healing and change can be supported.
