Couples Counseling
How Do I Know If We Need Couples Therapy?
Couples Therapy isn't just for troubled relationships
Many believe that it’s the last desperate call before the ship hits the rocks, but this is no longer the case. Many couples in healthy relationships are now attending therapy to strengthening their relationship instead of waiting for the cracks to appear- a proactive strategy to remain happier for longer.
It can be difficult to know if your troubles have reached a point where you need to see a couples therapist, but you don’t want to wait until your issues get out of control. Here are some signals that you may need to discuss the need for couples counseling:
- Fighting all the time
- Handling A Significant Life Change (job losses, death, illness, etc)
- Intimacy Issues (For honest communication, vulnerability, and sexual contact)
- Poor or lack of communication
- Trust issues
- Getting Married
- Something Just Feels “Off”
How did we get here? Where do we go from here?
Couples Counseling Can Help
While it may not be the savior for every relationship, couples counseling is effective in addressing most relationship problems. Partners often have trouble working out these issues on their own and need a professional who can intervene.
A trained clinician can help you work through your issues respectfully and efficiently. If you are willing to put in the effort, you have a good chance of improving your relationship.
There are therapists and counselors at Therapy Unlocked that want to help you and your partner with your couple issues. Our trained clinicians are ready to provide the assistance you need.
