INCREASE EMPATHY & UNDERSTAND FOR EACH OTHER
People who seek couples’ therapy can refer to married, unmarried, premarital, common-law or dating partner. The stress of daily life combined with the demands of work and/or family can make it difficult for couples to feel close and connected.
Do you withdraw from one another, or do you feel contempt, anger, or resentment for one another, or are you indifferent?
Even a healthy marriage can experience difficulties around parenting, traumatic incidents, finances, and communication. Couples therapy can be a path forward to building a mutually beneficial, supportive and trusting relationship.
Some couples want to improve their communication skills to prevent potential conflict in the future, providing tools to deal with stressful life events, such as when a couple is thinking of having children, changing careers or managing a family member with a disability.
Successful couples therapy partners report an increase in empathy and understanding for each other with better ability to communicate and deal with differences between them.
Every family goes through challenging times. Sometimes families need support during difficulties that arise, such as marital breakdown or divorce, an illness or death in the family, financial challenges, or life transitions.
Other times, the family needs support when one member is experiencing social, emotional or physical difficulties. We help will a variety of challenges affecting families, in a culturally appropriate manner to identify, accept and discuss solutions to effectively manage them.
