Couples Counseling

When many couples start counseling they express that they are desperate to be better and just want to be happy. Couples are often prompted by a recent event but have been feeling things go downhill for a while. You may feel like all of your attempts to connect and communicate fall flat, even though you love each other. When this happens it leaves us feeling lonely, emotionally and physically distant from our partner, and guarded or even quick to anger.

If you aren’t sure what the solution is but you’re willing to try to make your relationship work, you aren’t alone. Therapy can help you two get back on track. We’ll work to connect, improve communication, and move toward getting the love you want.

Relationship therapy (a more inclusive term for couples counseling) is a mix of structured and unstructured. There will be psychoeducation and practicing of skills while allowing you to advocate for what you need at the moment. With therapy, you can feel more confident, communicate more effectively, feel closer with your partner, have a more fulfilling sex life, feel happier overall, and get your needs met.
