COUNSELING FOR COUPLES

Is Your Relationship Going Downhill?

Does your relationship give you more frustration than fulfillment?

Are you tired of arguing?

When you’re stuck in conflict with your partner, it can be distressing, exhausting, isolating.

Perhaps you’re in the midst of infidelity.
Or you’ve drifted apart and you’re considering ending the relationship.
Or maybe one of you struggles with anxiety, depression, or ADHD—and it’s stretched things to the breaking point.

No matter the source of your relationship anxiety, we understand how you feel. And we can help.

Are You Unsatisfied with your Sex Life?

Do you have trouble identifying and communicating what you want?

Could you use some guidance around identifying what is going wrong?

Do you want to feel more confident in your intimate relationships?

Sex therapy can help.

Sexual intimacy is a key component of emotional health. Unfortunately, we weren’t born knowing how to have great sex—and in our culture, it can be hard to honestly sort out what we want. Sex therapy can help you open up, get comfortable, and let go.

Trouble Connecting with your Partner?

Do you want to have more, or better, sex?

If you long for the days when your relationship felt effortless, in sync, and sexy—you’re not alone.

In our busy, stressful world, many couples find it difficult to connect. You may be feeling lonely or frustrated, or you may blame yourself or your partner.

There are many potential reasons why this happens–lack of communication, medical conditions, differing sex drives. It can be scary and difficult to try to sort through it without help.

Sex therapy can help you figure out what is standing in the way, so that you can regain your connection.

We Also Help Singles
