Who knew that Happily Ever After could be so hard sometimes? Maintaining our closest relationships is difficult and takes work. Couples can benefit from counseling at any time in their relationship. If you or your partner are struggling with communication, intimacy, parenting, forgiveness, or finding your unique balance, counseling really can help.
Often in relationships there are small patterns of interaction that over time can lead to bad habits, resentments, or an inability to see our partner through the loving lens that we once did. Couples counseling offers a safe and supportive space to work on reducing conflict, learning how to voice emotions, and communicate your needs in a way that your partner can hear them. Couples counseling can help you understand the emotional needs that lie underneath the arguments and could be sabotaging your relationship.
At Healthy Connections Counseling Center our clinicians use a variety of evidence-based methods to help couples, such as Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems Theory or CBT. We also use some that are more specific to relationships, including Emotional Focused Therapy by Dr Sue Johnson and The Gottman Method.
No matter where you are in your relationship, Healthy Connections Counseling Center will help you create specific habits and connections that will nurture your relationship and sustain it over time.
