Address Your Relationship Issues

Some of the most common issues faced in couples counseling include lying, infidelity, and sexuality. Sometimes couples feel misaligned and not on the same page about child rearing, in-laws and the spending of money. Couples in recovery who have faced addiction in the relationship can feel they are fighting a constant battle. Mental illness in a relationship can also present unique challenges for loved ones. Working with a couples therapist can help to address a range of challenging situations couples may face.

Leaving Relationship Issues Unaddressed Can Result In:

  • Depression and anger
  • Lack of intimacy
  • Difficulty in taking care of children
  • Increased risk of domestic violence, suicide, & health issues
  • Divorce
