Your own relationships? Your
relationship
with your child? Healthy
relationship
skills for your teen? I can help.
So, you’ve stepped back, looked at your relationships, and realized, “This is not even close to what I want!” UGH! What a moment. A part of you might even chime in to (not so helpfully) remind you that you should just be happy with what you have, especially since it could totally be worse. Maybe that part even suggests this is somehow as good as it gets for you. (Side note, this is your critical voice, and it tends to share, shall we call it “fake news.”) But you’re here because a part of you, even if it’s small and hesitant, wants something more. It feels scary to hope, but you’re here to try.

Life can be incredibly difficult, even in the best of times, due to everyday challenges or simply existing as your authentic self. For some, this may look like a
relationship
with multiple partners, being aromantic or asexual, having a
relationship
with yourself, learning more about yourself and how you engage in sexuality via integrating kink, or simply existing in life in a marginalized body - be it race, gender, sexuality, weight, ability status, or any number of visible and invisible characteristics for which broader society struggles to make space.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
