Couples Counseling
Factors of everyday life can put an abundant strain on a relationship. Severe stressors may include resentment, infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, and miscommunication, in addition to the day-to-day challenges of parenting, financial stress, busy schedules and many more. When problems go unresolved, or a partner is suffering from symptoms of a mental illness or other health complications, one can feel helpless or have feelings of guilt or shame. Learning to communicate effectively can alleviate emotional anxiety in these situations.
Couples often seek counseling when the relationship is at a standstill, or if they are unsure whether or not the relationship is worth salvaging. This type of therapy can benefit families with children who have been affected by relationship issues such as divorce, and confront the source of the conflict.
Treatment techniques may include the following depending on the therapist:
- Narrative Therapy
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
- Positive Psychology
- Imago Relationship Therapy
- Analyzing Your Communication
- Enhancing Intimacy
- Individual Counseling
If your relationship is showing signs of problems such as addiction, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and/or severe depression, seek guidance from a counselor immediately, for your safety and the safety of your partner/family.
