COUPLES

• Are you feeling distant or avoiding each other?
• Do you feel like the affection is missing?
• Do you feel like you’re walking on eggshells because you are tired of having the same fight?
• Have you contemplated divorce or splitting up but aren’t sure whether to stay or go?
• Has an emotional or physical affair affected the trust in the relationship?

Counseling is not only for couples in crisis because every couple experiences ups and downs in their relationship. Therapy provides a safe space that helps you and your partner express your relationship needs and address concerns within a neutral setting.

Many couple’s issues are rooted in a strained connection or poor communication, which often leads to emotional withdrawal, marital conflict, sexual issues or infidelity. Therapy helps to restore healthy, open communication and to recognize and release the negative emotions that are getting in the way of your relationship. Couples counseling can help you break the cycle, find common ground, and renew your relationship.

Some issues that bring couples to therapy:

• Work/life balance
• Parenting issues
• Substance overuse
• Dealing with infidelity (past or present) and betrayal
• Physical intimacy and sexual fulfillment
• Relationship dissatisfaction
• Anger
• Communication
• Pre-marital counseling
