Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Willow & Arbor, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist
Relationships are a part of life but not something most of us receive any guidance or education in. Many people have any idea of the type of marriage they would like but no actual experience or example of how to make that work. Therapy can help you identify your personal and joint values and create the narrative of the relationship you want. Therapy can also help you identify stumbling blocks to that narrative and how to overcome them from an authentic and genuine place rather than avoidance. Many people believe "improved communication" is the key to fixing a marriage, and while this is important I also find that many couples communicate a lot but struggle with empathy, emotion tolerance, perspective taking, and follow through. Lastly, not all relationships are meant to last and some remain together out of fear of divorce or being alone. We can process this possiblity if it applies to your relationship and navigate it together.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CDWF
Let’s face it: relationships can be both wonderful and terrible, providing us with the highest highs and lowest lows. If you spend any amount of time with a committed partner, feelings of disconnection, dissatisfaction, and a lack of resolution can show up. And such feelings indicate that both of you need to pay attention to what is happening so that you can successfully build trust and connection.
Whether you’re just starting out in your intimate partnership or you have made a long-term commitment to one another, it’s important that both of you learn how you came up against certain obstacles and what you can do to reconnect. But this can throw a wrench in your relationship maintenance for many reasons.
You are absolutely killing it at work and having to juggle the demands of your career, on top of friends, family, kids, and your relationship can be challenging. As a result, you may have noticed tension or resentment building, and your relationship is starting to feel more like that of two roommates rather than that of spouses or a long-term, intimate partnership. Or perhaps you two are running into consistent misunderstandings. Despite you giving it your best shot hoping to improve the situation, things seem to escalate and never get better.
So here you are now—in the same cycle of conflict and argumentation that never seems to resolve itself. Believe us, we at Therapie can relate! You two may be fighting constantly or freezing each other out in silence. And perhaps you’re beginning to wonder if you are still on the same page, with the same shared goals in mind.
But maybe you may find that none of this struggle applies to your relationship… at least not yet.
Perhaps you’re just trying to be proactive in creating the strongest bond possible as you plan your next steps together—steps that may involve living together, getting married, and starting a family. You may be in search of some objective guidance from a professional who can help you in setting and adjusting certain expectations. Or perhaps you’re simply interested in setting a stable foundation with your significant other so that, together, you can tackle the obstacles that will inevitably arise down the line.
Our hats are off to you, and your relationship is likely giddy knowing it is getting the attention it deserves! All couples, no matter the circumstances, can benefit from couples therapy in Nashville. And with our clinicians, you and your partner will find an open and empathetic space to explore the ins and outs of your relationship.
