Couples Therapy & Relationship Issues

Relationships encompass every aspect of our lives, from work, school, friendships, significant others, children, neighbors, etc… As human beings, we are naturally social creatures and have a need, yes an actual need, for social interaction. This makes it all the more important for us to figure out what part we play in our relationship struggles, and to seek individual therapy or couples therapy if needed. If you have a pattern of difficult or unhealthy relationships it can be important to explore this in therapy. Often times we gravitate to what is familiar, even though familiarity does not equal healthy. As creatures of habit we often times will continue to choose unhealthy partners, as there is comfort in that sense of familiarity, which is often times mistaken for attraction. Working one-on-one with a therapist can help you to identify these patterns, how they originated, and work towards building more healthy intimate relationships.
