Are you looking to improve your relationship, enhance mutual understanding and compassion for each other, create a closer connection, heal after an infidelity, handle recurrent arguments and money conflicts, address sexuality, or decide if they should stay together or part ways? Therapy is a productive space to explore these concerns.
In my experience, most couples come to therapy with “communication problems.” They then discover that unhelpful dynamics and unrecognized needs stand in the way of responding to each other with more kindness. Without such exploration in therapy, communication difficulties remain stuck and are treated as merely “communication” problems. Therapy gives couples a chance to overcome those entrenched patterns that keep each partner responding in the same predictable, unkind ways that chip away at love and goodwill.
