What are some signs it might be time to start couples therapy?

You keep having the same argument’s without any solution

Whether its small fights that go back to the same thing or ongoing issues about money, sex, family, or parenting, the same arguments keep coming back and the fights go around in circles. In sessions we can focus on the important issues, work together to meet both your needs, and hold you and your partner accountable.

Theres been a break in trust in the relationship

Sometimes a break in trust isn’t just a romantic affair, it can also look like a secret friendship, lying about finances, keeping secrets from your partner, and refusing to talk about certain issues. In therapy these issues can be address in a safe place for both you and your partner.

Theres a lack of connection and you feel more like roommates

Sometimes past issues can linger and go unresolved and cause a distance in the relationship. In couples therapy some of these issues can be worked through in a safe place in order to reconnect and rebuild the rebuild the relationship you once had.

Major life changes have cause you to drift apart.

Sometimes life can happen and it can be hard to reconnect with your partner. Whether its a recent loss of a job, blending families, a difficult move, or a having a baby, big life changes can be difficult to navigate for any couple. In therapy we can focus on each persons needs and see how to work on making you and your partner feel supported by each other again.

Disagreements over parenting and making family decisions.

Sometimes couples don’t realize how differently they were raised until they become parents. This can lead to constant fights, a lack of trust, and cause a strain on the relationship and the family. In sessions we can focus on realistic solutions for both you and your partner to better understand each other and focus on working together as parents.
