Couples Counseling

Relationship obstacles are creating divisions.

The connection with your spouse is no longer the same – now, the two of you keep drifting further and further apart.

The gloves are off, and now fighting breaks out more often than ever. The flaws you used to ignore are now ever-present in your mind – and now they are annoying.

Sometimes, you envision the future on your own rather than pretending that the two of you are a unit.

The reality of what has evolved in your relationship has become scary. You are facing a hurdle in your life together and don’t know how to overcome it. Splitting up is not an option because of your family’s needs, but staying together has become immensely difficult.

Couples Counseling helps initiate the conversation.

What if the two of you could come together and talk to a neutral party?

Coming together in Couples Counseling provides a setting and opens a discussion that helps you create mutually rewarding goals for your relationship.

In Couples Counseling, you learn techniques that help you achieve goals that seem impossible to accomplish on your own.

Working in this safe place, your counselor is on the side of your relationship rather than taking sides with either of you individually. In this space, you can be honest and know that anything you discuss is confidential.

Therapy helps you grow together.

Your therapist can look at your communication patterns and relationship habits from an educated and trained perspective.

By objectively viewing your interactions, your therapist can provide you with techniques that work for you as a couple. These techniques can help you reach your mutual goals and regain positive feelings toward each other organically as your time together in therapy progresses.

Often, as relationships move through time, couples can struggle to grow, both as individuals and as a couple. Therapy helps you learn how to allow the other person the independence for further individual growth, and teaches skills to help you grow together as a couple.

Therapy is an investment – not a sign of failure.

Seeking help from a therapist is not an indicator of “failure” but an indicator of a desire to indeed strengthen your relationship.

When we encounter a problem in the home, like a water leak or a broken appliance, we do not hesitate to seek help and guidance from professionals for assistance with the repair. Therapy can help you “repair” the most central, important aspect of your home – the relationship with your partner.

Once an immediate crisis is past, couples will often continue with therapy for a longer term to keep growing and learning new techniques/tools to keep their marriage strong and stable. We welcome that at Heart and Mind Counseling.
