Couples Therapy

 

It feels hopeless.

The silence between you has become so loud it is deafening.

You seem to have the same arguments repeatedly – if you even talk to each other at all.

The fun times have become overwhelmed by the silence.

You can cut the tension with a knife.

The change didn’t happen overnight.

The decline in the way you relate to one another has been a slow process.

The space between you has grown steadily, and neither of you is even sure how it happened.

There have been little moments of dissatisfaction over the years, and now you realize the problems were more significant than you thought they were.

“If we don’t do something soon, we’ll never make it.”

Your relationship has gotten to the point that all you think about is how much better it would be without each other.

You dream about a different relationship that fulfills your needs and gives you joy.

Things continue to unravel – pushing you further apart.

Separation is starting to seem like the only option.

You think, “There must be something we can do.”

Ask yourselves one question.

If nothing changes, where is this relationship going to be in five years?

If you don’t like the answer and want a different outcome, then it’s time to make an important choice.

There IS something you can do.

Therapy is an important part of making a change in your relationship.

You might be telling yourself that you want things to be the way they used to be when you first met.

But the truth is that you want it to be even better than that. Now, you want a more mature relationship where each of you can safely share your unmet needs.

Therapy can help both of you meet each other’s needs as you grow closer together rather than further apart.

Here’s how therapy can help.

Couples often come to therapy when something significant has happened – infidelity, loss of trust, changes in beliefs or values, financial concerns, addiction, trauma, or even career changes. In many of these cases, therapy feels like a hail mary pass at the end of a championship game. If it doesn’t work, then it’s a loss.

Having a good game plan ensures that things work out for the best.

When we meet, the first thing that will happen is I will listen to your experience. Through a series of questions and tools, I will complete a detailed assessment of your relationship and share the results with you.

From there, we will identify core problems that have led to these difficult times. Together, we will develop a plan that results in a positive change, allowing both of you to feel happy and satisfied with your relationship. Then the real work begins.

Relationship therapy is not easy.

Accomplishing the changes needed in your relationship is life-changing for both of you, but making those changes is never easy.

You will need a firm commitment and a willingness to do the hard work. That is why you need an experienced therapist to guide you along the way.

Your relationship with your partner is hanging in the balance. Don’t give up without a fight.
