As my favorite mentor says, "Nothing is more difficult than another person." Even if you are amongst the luckiest out there and find your relationship to be effortless, chances are even you have periods where you and your partner are challenged to find your way through a difficult time. It comes with the territory; relationships are hard. If you are in one of those times or are in a chapter in your story where you cannot find your way back to a balanced coexistence, it's time to get support. Do not wait. These things do not fix themselves. Finding relief now gives you a chance to enjoy one another again, sooner than later.

As a parent I know there is no worse feeling than watching your child struggle and being helpless to stop it. Trying desperately to help and connect with them only to feel like they are moving farther away from you despite how much you love them. Ultimately, nothing is more painful than feeling like you have failed your child. In the end all parents want is for their children to be happy and healthy but often to a child or teenager, going to therapy can make them feel like they are a problem that needs to be fixed.
