Resolving Relationship Problems Takes Work & Commitment

Because relationships are built up of unique individuals—with different backgrounds, personalities and communication styles—occasional disagreement and frustration are inevitable. Add to that the stress of balancing work responsibilities, personal hobbies, social and family obligations and everything else that makes up a person’s life, and it’s no wonder that couples sometimes drift apart, experience tension or face other relationship problems.

 

Movies, television shows, social media feeds and other messaging often depict the ideal of a “perfect” relationship, which can make it all the more painful when it seems that your relationship doesn’t meet that standard. In truth, however, no relationship is perfect, and there is hope to reconnect with your partner and build a supportive, trusting relationship.

How Couples Therapy Helps Relationships Heal and Grow

Our couples therapists are here to help whether you are dealing with a crisis, a challenging transition, seeking to make changes around troublesome behaviors or just looking to improve an already good relationship. We work with couples of all orientations, backgrounds and stages, from partners to spouses to those seeking premarital counseling. We will create an atmosphere of safety and trust with your significant other, where you can be vulnerable and practice listening to each other. Our goal is to help you understand and feel understood within your relationship.

You may have questions or
concerns about couples therapy

Although working with a couples therapist does involve communicating and talking to your partner, having a partner who is an introvert or who tends to be quiet is not unusual. The fact that he or she has committed to improving the relationship and attending the sessions is what is needed for counseling to be beneficial.

If this is your situation, that’s okay. Attending counseling by yourself in order to improve your relationship can still be very helpful. Sometimes this is how counseling begins, with the other person joining the therapy sessions later. Whatever you learn while attending on your own can be taken back into the relationship and shared with your partner.

Yes! Our couples therapists work with both straight and same-sex couples with non-traditional relationship structures. We understand how open relationships, polyamorous relationships and other non-monogamous relationships work and understand the unique challenges that they may face.

The goal of therapy is to find the healthiest outcome for both partners. Sometimes, that does mean the end of the relationship. If you and your partner come to this decision, your therapist can help you both get to a healthy place and find a sense of satisfaction and resolution.

Sometimes, when things are going well, we unintentionally put relationship work on the back burner. Even if you aren’t experiencing relationship problems, therapy offers a valuable opportunity to spend dedicated time with your partner, without the distractions we so often experience here in New York. Together, you can foster a deeper understanding of each other and equip yourselves for a loving, connected future.
