What Is Couples Counseling?
Couples counseling provides a safe, structured place for partners to explore their unique perspectives of the relationship. Discussions about past events in a relationship, changes in perspective, and what lies ahead in the future can feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate.
Our psychologists serve as facilitators who remain neutral in this process and help provide support and structure to make these discussions easier to navigate while respecting both individuals' views.
When Is It A Good Time To Seek Couples Therapy?
While many couples seek therapy at a point of crisis, such as after an affair or other major issue, it can also be helpful to start therapy sooner. If you have been noticing potential issues in your relationship and are unsure how to address them, couples counseling can help guide the way.
Some common reasons for seeking couples therapy include:
- Highly emotional, repetitive conflict cycles
- Lack of trust and jealousy issues
- Insecurity in the relationship or fear of abandonment
- Difficulty communicating effectively or reaching mutual understanding
- Disconnection that feels like a lack of support and understanding
- Feeling ignored or undervalued by the other partner
