Hannah and Kesha had been best friends since elementary school. They’d grown up together, gone to Texas A&M, and had been bridesmaids at each other’s weddings. But recently they’d had a huge falling out and they were both heartbroken not to be in each other’s lives anymore. Their husbands had tried to get involved to smooth things over between their wives, but the men only seemed to make things worse. Even Kesha and Hannah’s mothers had gotten involved, because they were friends too. But no one could resolve the conflict, and the months dragged on with no contact between the women. They were both feeling depressed and lonely about losing the friendship. What could they do? 

Hannah and Kesha should reach out to a friendship therapist at Thriveworks in Corpus Christi, TX. A friendship therapist is like a licensed family and marriage therapist (LMFT), but they specialize in helping friends overcome conflicts through professional couples counseling. The licensed therapist at Thriveworks in Corpus Christi, TX can meet with the women online so they don’t have to be in the same room at first during therapy sessions. Online friendship therapy could be a great first step toward healing their lifelong bond.
