Couples Therapy

Got your forever someone … but they are annoying the heck out of you? 

It might be time for some couples counseling. 

In relationships, we are better as a you, me, and a we than as less than the sum of our 2 parts. We become less than the sum of our 2 parts when our relationship robs us of our energy and positivity. This often happens when one member of the couple is trying to change the other, is passive-aggressive, when we aren’t heard, seen, or getting our needs met. It can happen when members are controlling, aggressive, or there is addiction in the system. 

You really like each other, but can’t understand how two people can be so different 

• • You like to talk – they don’t

  • You want to stay home – they can’t get enough nightlife

  • Your vacation is a camper – theirs is an all-inclusive luxury resort

If you and your partner are struggling to figure out how to communicate your differences, respect each other’s struggles – both the strengths and vulnerabilities – or feel like you aren’t supported in your relationship, come see us.
