Cultivating and maintaining a healthy and loving dynamic as a couple is a process that takes intentional action, mutual respect, and a desire for closeness. Investing in couples counseling early in this process can make all the difference. At Wellness Mental Health, we welcome and serve couples from all walks of life and we offer LGBTQIA2+ affirming care.

As a couple, it’s important to establish your dynamic and find your groove. This dynamic can include your unique process for problem solving, or the creative ways you show one another how you love each other. Couples counseling can be a safe space to discuss your dynamic and what aspects work and which ones are ineffective. This could include learning new ways to communicate forgiveness, finding new ways to spark passion, or how to work through difficult conversations.  When working with an experienced therapist, you have a third-party observer, who may point out blind spots that haven’t been explored.

At nearly every stage in a relationship, couples counseling can be beneficial, regardless of the presence of an active conflict. If you find that your progression as a couple has stalled or the dynamic has shifted from healthy and happy to disagreeable and distracted, it may be time to invest in couples counseling with Wellness Mental Health.

The situations below are just a few examples of who we see in couples counseling.

• Patterns of unresolved conflicts and inability to find forgiveness
• Intimacy issues or infidelity
• Cohesion in decision-making or parenting
• Creating cohabitation harmony or relocation stress
• Fusing finances and investments
• Infertility and family planning frustrations
• Loss of trust or betrayal
• Role shifts and life transitions
• Spiritual or religious issues
• Dealing with the Distraction (smart phones, work, etc.)

Couples counseling is a highly collaborative experience with compassion and understanding built into every session. We encourage couples to flourish and improve their ability to communicate with more compassion, resolve conflict without chaos, and ignite authentic intimacy.

A couple that finds the right support early on is the couple that finds success and satisfaction later on. Taking on everyday stressors and life challenges together can feel less daunting. With the right partner, we can find rewards within the routine but we must have the right tools and mindset. If you and your partner are ready for a more fulfilling relationship contact our experienced team of therapists today for a couples counseling consultation.
