Couples Counseling

It’s easy to compare your relationship to others and wonder “Why don’t we seem that happy?” or “We don’t do that anymore.”

Feeling less connected to your partner can be scary, but it’s also normal. Every relationship goes through seasons of closeness and challenge. Couples counseling gives you and your partner tools to navigate the hard times, strengthen your bond, and enjoy the good moments again.

Each couple has a unique dynamic. Counseling is tailored to your specific strengths and struggles, helping you get back to where you want to be.

How does Couples Therapy help? 

Couples counseling focuses on both the relationship as a whole and each partner as an individual. You don’t need to be married to benefit. In fact, seeking support early is a proactive way to invest in your relationship.

In therapy, each partner will:

• Explore their strengths and growth areas

• Learn new skills for communication and connection

• Gain insights they can put into practice at home

What can Couples Counseling help with?

• Communication struggles

• Conflict management

• Emotional and physical connection

• Fear of commitment

• Jealousy or trust issues

• Letting go of the past

• Infidelity

• Parenting differences

• “Scorekeeping” or blame cycles

• Relationship patterns (healthy or unhealthy)

• Identity within the relationship
  …and more

What If My Partner Won’t Go?

It’s common for one partner to be hesitant. Therapy can feel vulnerable, uncomfortable, or even “unfair.” Some may fear being blamed or judged.

If your partner won’t participate, individual therapy can still help. A therapist can teach you skills for communication and conflict management that may improve the relationship on their own. While it’s not a perfect substitute for couples therapy, sometimes it’s the first step forward.
