benefits

Even the most "perfect" couples have their own road blocks they must get past, so you're not alone. Most couples can enhance their relationship by mastering the skills taught in couples counseling. Couples therapy offers “neutral ground” to work through excising relational issues with professional guidance and support. Together we can clarify and explore solutions to your problems, work towards improving communications and learn and practice skills that cultivate emotional connection and intimacy.

Challenges    

Often times one partner will want to get help for the relationship by going into couples counseling while the other may say they “are not interested in coming" or “don’t believe in therapy”. This can be very discouraging if you are the partner who wants help. You may find it beneficial to attend individual therapy as working on yourself can help discover underlying triggers and consequently improve the relationship for both of you. Changes you make within yourself can go a long way to improving things between you and may encourage your partner to join you in.
