Couples Counseling

Therapy For Couples

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • We are starting to fight more and more  
  • We have the same discussions (or arguments) over and over, with no positive outcome
  • Things just don't feel the way they used to between us
  • We either ‘give in’ or ‘refuse to negotiate’ on important issues such as money, parenting, time together (and apart), sex and intimacy
  • We spend more time at work, with our kids, friends, or colleagues than with each other, creating mistrust, doubt, suspicion, hurt feelings, or resentment
  • We feel pressure to present as a happy couple (even when you’re not)

It is normal if not inevitable for couples to experience hardships in their relationship. Illness, infidelity, sex, anger, and communication problems can all contribute to distress in marriages and relationships. Whether you have been with your partner for 6 months or 20 years, we can help. Working with you as a couple, we can help clarify what forces are behind the issues that both hinder and enhance your life together.  Here are some of the typical issues that marriage/couples counseling can help you and a spouse or partner cope with:

  • Anger or Resentment
  • Infidelity
  • Divorce
  • Substance Abuse
  • Physical or Mental Conditions
  • Same-Sex Relationship Issues
  • Finances
  • Unemployment
  • Blended Families
  • Communication Problems
  • Sexual Difficulties
  • Conflicts about child rearing
  • Infertility
  • Changing Roles
  • Difficulty with Intimacy
  • Conflict Resolution
  • Communication issues
  • Anger or resentment
  • Trust issues
