Are you struggling with life or relationship with your partner, or your family, not working? Or do the relationships in your life feel solid, but you’ve been hit by a recent crisis or challenge and you’re in need of guidance on how to navigate things? Whatever the reason, it helps to talk with a therapist who honors your privacy without judgment when you are feeling alone, sad, unhappy, isolated, anxious, or depressed about what is going on with, or happening to you. Gain an impartial, fresh outlook in an encouraging safe and private setting to explore whatever issues you’re facing. For couples, usually the first appointments will examine the six basic fixable problem areas of a relationship.
Usual first appointments examine the six basic fixable problem areas of a couple (or any) relationships ask for help with.
These are when:
- Basic TRUST is violated or bruised. (once trust exists, it can be returned.)
- Communication fails (she/he just plain does not hear you). Note: Communication is not magic, it is an easily learnable skill.
- Family presence obstructs your individual or your relationship life style (parent pressures, ill child,
siblings, step-parenting surprises, ‘conditional love’, pets, etc.) - Money styles clash (savers marry spenders) and money rules life.
- Sex and Affection are out of Sync, misunderstood or out of control.
- One (or both) of you find you have lost your individual identity to the relationship, and had not noticed that until recently.
