How can Therapy Help My Relationship?

Every couple experiences its own challenges and triumphs; people in couples therapy are able to find a safe, supportive space in which to talk about the difficult moments and dynamics that arise in a relationship.  

As humans, we continue to grow in new directions throughout our lives; sometimes it is hard for our partners to keep up. This can lead to tension or conflicts within a relationship, in which one or both people feel misunderstood or undervalued. However, this growth is also an opportunity to continually learn and appreciate new aspects of your partner and your connection to one another.  

If you and your loved one feel as though you are “stuck” in the same unhealthy dynamic, or a seemingly endless cycle of frustrating patterns, couple’s therapy is an ideal place to gain insight and perspective on how to move forward.  While it may not always feel like it, change is always possible within a relationship, and when both people are invested in doing the work an even more meaningful and fulfilling partnership can blossom.

When you enter couples counseling or relationship therapy, it might feel like you and your partner are both signing up as the therapist’s clients. Ultimately, however, your relationship is what is at the heart of the work in couples therapy. We would love the opportunity to work with you and your partner in the spirit of helping your relationship be what you know it can be.

Therapy vs. Assessment

Sometimes, we come to our path knowing what we need and with some vague idea of how to get ourselves to where we’d like to be. In these cases, therapy is a great option. Together, with your therapist, you can work on a plan that will lead you there. Other times, our path is unclear or we’ve tried walking it so many times, unsuccessfully, that we feel uncertain, lost, or overwhelmed. In cases such as these, an assessment might be a great place to begin. At Sweetgrass, we provide Therapeutic Assesments that can help you (and your therapist) get really clear on what is keeping you stuck, what is getting in the way, or what you need to become your brightest self. If you already have a good sense of what those things are, therapy is probably the right place to start. If you aren’t sure, or have been at it for awhile without much success, perhaps an assessment is worth trying.

You are not alone.

LET'S TALK
 

Are You a Parent? Need Help?

Being a parent, being a teenager… both bring some of the highest highs- and the lowest lows- of our lives. As a parent, sometimes it can feel like you’re the wrong person for the job. Or what worked so well with one of your children is having the opposite effect on another. Therapy can provide your son or daughter with the attention and support they need to develop a sense of self, cope with tough emotions, and work through traumas and difficulties… coming out stronger and better-equipped than ever before. At Sweetgrass, we help parents help their teenagers through parent coaching and family therapy. Check out our Parents page for more information.
