Therapy for Relationship Issues

Relationships can be messy and complicated.

Most people who start therapy for relationship issues feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns. Perhaps you can relate. You’ve tried to get your partner to go to couples therapy, but they don’t see the need. Figuring out how to improve things feels daunting, but you know you have to make a change. Individual therapy can help.

Do any of the following resonate with you?

  • You feel like the spark that you had when you first met your partner is gone.

  • It seems like you spend more and more time bickering.

  • You’ve been wondering whether this is the right relationship for you.

  • It’s been a long time since you last felt valued or appreciated.

If these sound true for you, I want you to know that you might feel embarrassed to open up about what you’re really going through, even to family and friends. Therapy provides a nonjudgemental space for you to talk freely about what’s bothering you. Self-care is not an indulgence or a selfish act. In fact, it is especially important to take care of yourself when you have the responsibility of caring for others.

  • Get to the root problems and solve them instead of using band-aids.
