Couples Therapy
Deciding to seek couples therapy or marital counseling can be a positive step toward healing a wounded relationship, making a healthy relationship stronger, or clarifying the direction your relationship is going. We pick our partners for a variety of reasons, conscious and unconscious. Often times we are drawn to others because they fulfill a vital part of our inner life that we only narrowly understand. While this is captivating and can be a point of support and happiness, it is often what drives couples apart. Navigating and understanding these differences in personality and how each partner communicates their needs can provide a fresh start to a frustrated relationship.
Couples may wish to address:
Wanting to increase communication

Infidelity
