COMMON PROBLEMS OF COUPLES

A strong relationship can lift us up higher than we could reach alone. But a troubled one can tear us down. It can leave us feeling more alone than if we were alone. 

We enter relationships full of joy, passion, and excitement. Along the way, things can change. Job stress, kids, a lack of sleep...life can test us and strain our ability to communicate, understand, and respect our partners. 

You’ve read books, you’ve talked to friends...maybe even family...but nothing has improved. You don’t know what to say to improve communication… but you know something has to change.

You don’t know how to bring the romance back.  You’ve tried but don't seem to understand each other anymore. You can’t get out of negative patterns.

Let us help you build the life you want to live.

FAQs About Couples Therapy

Is couples counseling covered by insurance? 

Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis to pay for therapy. Generally, insurance only covers couples counseling at certain times... like when a person has a problem or mental health symptom, such as anxiety. 

Will marriage counselors ever suggest divorce?

A therapist’s job is to help you discover what YOU want. They help people make their own decisions from a place of strength. A good marriage counselor won’t direct you to choose one option over another. They will guide you in getting the most out of what you choose for yourself. Divorce can be an option. But it would be if you believe that it is the best course. Because it is a thoughtful...self-empowered… and measured decision.
