Do We Need Couples Therapy or Marriage Counseling?
There are common indications that a couple or partners might benefit from couples therapy or marriage counseling, such as:
- Arguments that last for hours or days
- Passive-aggressive or abusive behavior
- Inability to respect each other’s boundaries
- Cheating
- Avoiding physical touch or sex
- Lying and other forms of emotional manipulation
These behaviors can act as warning signs that couples are not able to communicate or establish clear boundaries. That’s why relationships can often benefit from the impartial guidance of a therapist; because reinforcing respectful communication and understanding can benefit any couple at any stage in their connection.
Relationship counseling can assist partners to:
- Establish healthy boundaries
- Help both partners manage anger or anxiety
- Highlight the importance and need for compromise
- Rebuild trust after infidelity or dishonesty
- Rekindle sexual intimacy together
Benefits of Working with a Couples Therapist
Romantic relationships can be some of the most rewarding experiences in our lives, so we’d rather that clients who are seeking to improve their connection with their partner don’t feel embarrassed or defeated. Relationship counseling is designed to benefit both of you by:
- Using feedback from both partners to establish healthy boundaries for communication
- Rebuilding trust by working through tough issues like infidelity or verbal abuse
- Rekindling intimacy by exploring physical aspects of your relationship
- Highlighting the importance and need for compromise with your therapist
We understand that sometimes, only one of you may be interested in contacting us for mental health assistance. You or your partner may be resistant, but it’s essential to be reminded that our counselors don’t pick sides, and aren’t going to judge you.
