I know you have come up with judgements about your significant other, judgements about your relationship, and judgements about yourself, but chances are that neither of you have ever been taught the skillset necessary to build the type of intimacy and connection that you desire.
You actually want a harmonious relationship, full of warmth, love, and connection, but somehow your significant other finds a way to accuse you of being inconsiderate, selfish, and lacking in understanding. You want the two of you to be able to get along and enjoy each other’s company, but often feel overwhelmed by your partner’s demands, constant complaints, and need for control. Maybe there’s a theme of not feeling appreciated, protected, wanted, seen, or heard. Do you want the good news or bad news first? Nearly all loving relationships experience exactly what you and your significant other are experiencing AND it can get better.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
