Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
People often turn to relationship and marriage counseling when they're facing tough times in their partnership. It could be because of problems with talking things out, old fights that never got resolved, trust being broken, cheating, feeling distant, or just dealing with big life changes. These issues can really mess with your emotions and make the relationship feel shaky. In therapy, I'd help both partners learn how to talk to each other better, rebuild trust, and tackle any emotional blocks that are getting in the way of feeling close. We'd also figure out ways to deal with arguments and handle big life changes together. The aim is to make the relationship stronger, boost how you both feel, and make things feel good again.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Relationship or marriage issues can significantly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For example, constant conflicts or a lack of emotional support in a relationship can worsen feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, and emotional distress. This, in turn, may exacerbate addictive behaviors or contribute to depressive symptoms. My approach would involve providing a safe and non-judgmental space for the individual to explore their relationship challenges and their impact on their mental well-being. We would work together to identify underlying issues, improve communication skills, and develop strategies to address relationship difficulties, ultimately promoting healthier relationships and improved emotional well-being.

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find {with awareness and compassion} all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ Rumi So much of my work with couples comes back to this quote. When we are aware of those barriers within ourselves we can get a lot further a lot faster than details of daily life that so quickly distract us from our true work.
