Having relationship challenges with your…Partner? Spouse? Family? Friends?

Seeking individual counseling to help heal & improve your relationships from the inside out?

INNER relationship counseling

* IMPORTANT NOTE: This service is for individual counseling to help people explore and individually process issues around their core relationships. This service is NOT couples counseling, pre-marital or marital counseling. *

your relationships are important

Whether you’re currently single, dating, partnered, married, or have other close, non-romantic relationships (e.g., friends, family, co-workers), here’s the bottom line:

The most important relationship you can have is the one with yourself.

You matter. And your needs matter. The problem? Sometime it’s difficult to get your needs met externally (e.g., from partners, spouses, friends, family)…especially if you’re not clear internally on what you truly want, need, and why.

We help you work on your relationships…from the inside-out.

wired for connection

Relationships are an essential part of our lives. We are literally wired for connection with others. Our relationships are where we experience some of the most beautiful parts of being human, including our sense of:

• Safety

• Belonging

• Support

• Community

• Sharing

• Love

• Joy

• Trust

But if you’ve ever been in a relationship of any kind, you know the opposite can also be true.

How so?

Unhealthy or challenging relationships are often where we experience some of the most painful parts of human interaction, including:

• Rejection

• Hurt

• Disconnection

• Guilt or shame

• Conflict

• Pain of loneliness or disconnection

Pause for just…one…moment.

Next, take a deep breath and know this: You are not alone.

INTIMATE PARTNER/ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

Let’s face it: When things are great, they’re great. But when they aren’t, it makes everything in your life feel worse.

You may feel alone, even when you are with your partner. Instead of feeling close and connected, you’re feeling rejected, disconnected, or even shutdown. You feel like it’s impossible to bring up or discuss important topics. Sometimes you even wonder if the relationship is a “lost cause”. Or you may be trying to “save” or grow the relationship, but just don’t know how.

We can help you gain clarity.

What would it be like to have a safe, supportive and confidential place to explore what matters most to you?

Working with a therapist can help you to:

• Process relationship issues in a safe, non-judgemental environment

• Learn more about your relationship patterns

• Explore not just what you do in relationships, but also why

• “Show up” in ways that help you find, create, and nurture relationships that are more loving, supportive, and fulfilling

How do you know you may benefit from one-on-one relationship counseling? Here are some common signs:

• Feeling disempowered to make changes

• Feeling like you don’t have a voice

• Frequent fighting that doesn’t get repaired

• Frequent anger showing up in either person

• Unresolved conflicts from the past that still cause pain in the present

• Feeling like people or situations are constantly “getting on your nerves”

• Difficulty communicating in healthy ways or about important topics

• Lack of meaningful affection or sexual connection

• Feeling like the relationship is out of balance

• Fear of conflict

• Constant feelings of disconnection or loneliness

• Unhealthy behaviors (e.g., name-calling, belittling, abuse)

It may sound strange, but sometimes relationship growth can be a one-person job.

healing RELATIONSHIPS WITH our FRIENDS, FAMILY, parents, CHILDREN, co-workers & colleagues

Sometimes having difficult relationships with our friends, parents, children, or even co-workers can cause significant stress and upset.

You may like them. You may even love them. But let’s be honest: “getting along” seems to be harder and harder these days.

What are the “signs” that you could benefit from individual relationship counseling?

• Frequently feeling frustrated at (or by) the other person

• Feelings of upset from unvoiced issues or grievances

• Feeling “overly cautious” when you’re around them

• Avoiding interactions out of the fear that it will “just make things worse”

Sound familiar? Please know that you are not alone. The simple truth? All relationships can be challenging. Why? Because they are often challenging us to grow. Challenging us to know ourselves better.

• Improving communication

• Dealing with stress or depression

• Figuring out your life direction

• Dealing with loss

• Building your confidence and esteem

• Processing your life experiences

• Changing negative habits

• Growing your self-awareness
