Find Your Way Back to Each Other with Couples Therapy at Mental Health Northwest
You and your partner shouldn't have to continue facing distress or rethink the relationship because of these issues. The delicate nature of personal relations can be repaired with the help of evidence-based approaches and healthy communication. I offer counseling for couples with relationship issues and provide a neutral space to offer effective solutions.
Why Seek Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy is where the couple and the therapist work together (in guidance of the therapist) to improve the couple’s internal relationship, enriching the relationship with closeness and affection. The areas that can but are not limited to, being addressed are emotional and physical intimacy, conflict, disconnection, communication, trust, and clarity and confidence about future goals as a family.
Couples and marriage counseling can cover a wide range of areas, including improving communication methods, exploring each other's boundaries, and restoring affection in the marriage or relationship.
Restoring Emotional Intimacy: Therapy rebuilds the closeness that gets lost amid arguments, stress, or eventual neglect.
Improving Communication and Trust: Structured support helps you speak and listen with empathy, making room for honesty and reconnection, while also helping with relationship anxiety.
Managing Life’s Challenges Together: From new parenthood and relocations to blended families and career shifts, couples therapy equips you both to navigate transitions as a team.
Providing Clarity and Confidence: Whether you stay together or decide to part ways, in-person or online couples therapy gives you tools for greater understanding and resolution.
It is okay to ask for help in your relationship. The shame often associated with getting couples therapy can be hard to get past for some. However, there will be no more shame when you feel you can discuss your concerns in a safe, calm environment and receive the effective results you needed to reconnect in your relationship.
Sometimes, it is the best solution for individuals to part ways. In this case, I can help with the process of smoothly separating. Choosing a relationship therapist at any stage shows strength, and will provide you with the support you need to move forward in whichever direction is best for you.
Common Relationship Challenges I Help Address
Frequent arguments or unresolved conflict:
Upon differences of opinion, thought process, or decisions, partners often face conflicts, leading to coldness. As a therapist, I help you learn healthy ways to manage conflicts.
Lack of intimacy or emotional connection:
Emotional or physical distance takes a heavy toll on the overall relationship equation and closeness as an individual.
Trust issues or infidelity:
If either partner has cheated in the past or even in the present, it’s very difficult to think of repairing the relationship. As a therapist, I help you slowly rebuild the foundation of trust.
Life transitions (new parents, relocation, blended families):
Big life events do cause some disruption, affecting the family. Adapting to parenthood or relocation can be one of those life events.
Different communication styles:
Different levels of politeness and different perceptions of healthy communication can cause difficulty having smooth conversations, especially related to heavy matters.
