Counseling for Relationship Challenges

Restore your relationships in a healthy and productive way.

Humans are wired for social connection. Some of us crave social interactions more than others, but relationships are an inevitable part of life. Social, professional, and romantic relationships can be both rewarding and challenging. We are an LGBTQIA+ affirming practice. 

Often, the obstacles faced within relationships build up and can lead to “mountains from molehills.” Developing connections with others can lead to feeling vulnerable.

In all relationships, we must balance the need to listen with being heard; the need for self-resiliency with the need to ask for help; and the need to set boundaries with the need to let others in. It is equally important to recognize that while you cannot control others, you can control the way you interact and react.

We’ll work with you to enhance your ability to effectively navigate issues that inherently arise within relationships.

Using a strength-based approach, we’ll help you overcome Relationship Challenges and issues:

  • Learning how to create meaningful relationships with others to foster a sense of belonging.
  • Exploring the past to understand the impact that previous relationships, beliefs and expectations may have on your current relationships.
  • Refining and adapting skills to foster effective communication.
  • Restoring balance and setting intentions for personal growth.
  • Protecting your independence, resilience, and ability to make choices for your overall well being.
What to expect from counseling for relationship challenges

We create a unique counseling process that is tailored to each person’s strengths and experiences.

Counseling is meant to be a time of self-exploration and growth. Your clinician will tailor treatment to your specific needs based on your goals and what you would like to achieve. Counseling has the potential to be short-term or long-term based on your individual needs.

Sustained progress can be made in as few as 8 weekly sessions, but most people find that they need treatment for a minimum of several months. We encourage you to attend weekly sessions, as this allows you to establish a close working relationship with your clinician and to make progress more quickly. Our hope is for you to reach your goals sooner rather than later so that you can live the life you desire.

Together we will explore your relationships and the challenges you face
