Every relationship is different with its own dynamics and challenges. Regardless of what type of relationship, you want it to be strong and healthy. A healthy connection with others can be a great support throughout your life. A fulfilling relationship can improve all aspects of your life, encourage personal growth, help promote positivity, and enable you to collaborate with others.

A healthy relationship doesn’t happen overnight. It is an investment that involves time, energy and skills. The more you put in, the more you get out. However, we are only human. Most of us have moments of selfishness, envy, lust, failure to forgive, etc. All of these things can wreak havoc on a relationship. While there are “basic ingredients” to a healthy relationship, it often takes counseling to build, maintain, or repair a struggling relationship.

If you Need Help

When problems in your relationship seem too overwhelming, you can reach out for help. A number of counseling options that directly focus on relationships are available.

• Couples/Marriage Counseling– This approach focuses on addressing conflicts and whatever is getting in the way of your relationship being as healthy as it can be. It may take the help of a skilled therapist to see problems from another perspective. With counseling, you may find that your relationship concerns are solvable through effective communication. Couples who have lost their “spark” can benefit from this type of approach as well as many report feeling more connected when communication improves and conflicts begin to resolve.

• Family Counseling – Family members can be involved in this type of counseling. It is designed to help family members address problems, conflicts and unhealthy dynamics. After identifying problems and goals your therapist can help you and your family develop a plan to move forward together and become stronger on the other side. 

• Individual Counseling – Individual counseling allows you the space to explore how you feel and what may be getting in the way of you living your life the way you want to. With the help of a skilled counselor you can explore your symptoms and feelings, finding ways to communicate more effectively and cope with distress. When we are healthier we are better able to be a healthy participant in all our relationships. You can also bring others to your individual sessions to process conflict as well, perhaps a friend or other support person.
