Individual Relationship Therapy
Individual therapy can create significant and lasting changes in your life and relationships.
Do You Want To Improve Relationships In Your Life, With A Partner, Family, Friends, Or Anyone Else You Care About?
Do you feel lonely despite having plenty of people in your life? Is there distance or difficulty communicating in some of your relationships? Are you interested in improving the connections between you and your partner, colleagues, or those you care about? Maybe you are ready to start a new relationship and want to shore up your ability to create a healthy connection. Building self-awareness and learning how to move out of old patterns is the first step in creating the life you want.
You Have More Power To Create The Relationships You Want Than You Realize
Not having the relationships you desire often leads to a negative self-view and decreased confidence. You may even feel fear wondering if you are destined for a life of loneliness. This all often leads to symptoms of anxiety or depression and unhealthy coping mechanisms, only increasing the unhappiness and dissatisfaction.
With more understanding of yourself, you can begin to feel empowered to shift your relationships with others. Therapy can help you effectively work through various issues with marriage, dating, family, friendship, or any other relationship that matters to you. We work together to get to the root of your struggles so you can create deep, lasting, positive change.

Individual Therapy Is An Effective Way To Address Relationship Ups And Downs
Relationships evolve and it is normal for them to ebb and flow over time, but it can feel jarring when relationships that felt so good at one time, suddenly seem to shift. Most relationships develop patterns that can slowly create disconnection. Doing the work to understand your part of those patterns can create real change and help you feel more empowered in your relationships.
Underlying Factors Often Contribute To Relationship Issues
We live in a culture of instant, constant connection yet widespread feelings of disconnection. Viewing the “highlight reel” of others on social media often creates insecurity and starting new relationships can feel like an impersonal automated process.
There is so much information at our fingertips, but It’s hard to know what to believe in a sea of conflicting opinions. Many rely on friends or family for relationship advice, only to find that their point of view is limited or that they have strong opinions.
Individual Relationship Counseling is the personalized approach you need to become the confident driver of your life. Our empathetic, neutral therapists guide you to explore issues from a variety of perspectives, building self-awareness around your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can feel more in control over your life and create a more fulfilling connection with the people you love.
Individual Relationship Therapy Helps Strengthen You, And Your Connections
Healthy relationships need care and attention, but that can only be effectively given with your own self-awareness and an understanding of your thoughts, feelings and reactions. Many people prematurely give up on meaningful interactions as soon as any small disagreement or misunderstanding arises due to poor communication skills. This is where your work in therapy comes in.
Counseling builds your confidence in handling relationship dynamics, helping you renew your most important bonds, as you show up as your best self. Together we identify stuck places in your relationships and connect the dots between experiences growing up and in past relationships so you can create healthier patterns in your present and future relationships.
Counseling is the most effective tool for improving relationships. Whether you notice that you and your loved one have grown apart, or things seem ok on the surface level despite not feeling solid, therapy can help you reconnect and find greater love, acceptance, and understanding.
We Use The Most Effective Forms Of Individual Relationship Counseling
Our work together in counseling is empowering, leaving you more confident to create healthy relationship dynamics that feel fulfilling and satisfying. This begins with a healthier and more connected relationship with yourself, around which you can build healthier relationships.
Psychodynamic Therapy is a highly effective way to strengthen your relationships, beginning with your relationship with yourself. In Psychodynamic Therapy we make sense of connections between past experiences and current challenges, increasing insight and self-awareness by examining your thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns—and how they relate to your relationships. This powerful therapeutic model heals unresolved parts of the past so they don't continue to impact your future.
We use the lens of Attachment-Based Therapy in our work with individuals and couples. Attachment-Based Therapy techniques identify the template you have developed for relationships, based on your early experiences with caregivers, and how that impacts you in all areas of life. This is a powerful key insight in shifting relationship dynamics, with a goal to move you from modes of anxious or avoidant attachment into a more secure attachment styles, creating a solid foundation for your relationships.
You May Still Have Questions About Individual Relationship Therapy
Many people avoid or put off therapy because it can feel hard to start a process that involves talking about difficult parts of life. It can also feel hard to trust a new therapist with the most vulnerable parts of yourself. Those fears are normal, but putting off therapy only increases negative patterns and feelings, while getting proactive support is often relieving and empowering. Here we address some common questions people have, let us know if you have any others!
Can relationship therapy still help if my partner won’t attend?
Yes. Positive change is absolutely possible even if just one partner commits to therapy. Shifting your part of a negative dynamic, creates a change in the other side of that dynamic and is a good start to change. Once your partner notices the positive impact of therapy for you, their own resistance to therapy and doing the work may change.
I’ve tried therapy before and nothing changed—how will this be any different?
Therapy requires a commitment to the process to get results. I compare therapy like going to the gym, it requires consistency, and the change is happening under the surface first, then we see it more overtly in our lives. Together, we also will be checking in each step of the way to ensure progress, noticing small ways the changes are starting to be felt and noticing and resolving blocks to implementing the new ways discovered in therapy.
I’m worried that talking about my issues in therapy will make things worse.
Therapy does not make things worse, but it does prevent ignoring, avoiding and
compartmentalizing things that aren’t working. This process naturally unveils the negative emotions you are often trying to avoid. That is when people feel therapy is making things worse, when it is actually the process of healing. In our therapy process, we are finally addressing, and dealing with the hard stuff, which in the end is relieving, healing and the only way to create a new beginning.
