We offer supportive couples therapy to foster healthier, more harmonious relationships so couples can thrive.
What Does Couples Counseling Address?
Acknowledging that you and your partner may benefit from couples counseling may be challenging. However, it’s an important step and shows that you are committed to repairing and strengthening your bond. It is incredibly beneficial to have a third party to help identify communication breakdowns and provide tools to resolve conflicts that may be leading to resentment.
In couples work, you’ll learn the roots of your and your partner’s difficulties, how to improve communication, and how to be a team again. Some issues that bring couples to therapy include the following:
- Affairs, infidelity, and cheating
- Balance between work, life, and family
- Blended families
- Chronic illness
- Divorce
- Extended family issues
- Intimacy problems
- Life transitions
- Mental illness
- Premarital therapy or marriage readiness support
- Pornography
- Sex
If you and your partner relate to any of the above, Riverside Psychology can provide the therapy services you and your partner need to get back on track.
LGBTQIA+ Support
If you or your partner live outside of the heteronormative-cisgender box, you will find a safe, supportive space at Riverside Psychology. We are committed to providing stigma-free and affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Our therapists recognize that each couple is unique, and couples who identify as LBGTQIA+ face specific stressors and challenges that require expertise from their clinicians. Riverside Psychology is dedicated to helping clients of all genders, sexual identities, and expressions feel safe and truly respected.
Tools and Skills Learned in Couples Therapy
During a couples counseling session, your therapist will moderate while encouraging you and your partner to communicate openly and share your feelings and thoughts. This is essential to address your relationship's unique issues and practice understanding and empathy. Your therapist will also provide tools to use outside of counseling sessions to improve daily communication and facilitate effective conflict resolution. Through this combination, you and your partner can build a deeper connection, reinforce your bond, and enjoy a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
