Couple's Therapy - Relate Family Therapy & Counseling

Communication. Empathy. Connection.

Perhaps it feels like there is a division in your home between you and your partner. Maybe you feel you are adrift from your partner, like you’re living separate lives that don’t overlap anymore. Intimacy, vulnerability, and closeness may have gotten lost in the day to day tasks and stressors. Maybe you don’t feel heard, supported or connected. But you can. Relate Family Therapy & Counseling works to rebuild those bonds and reconnect all couples.

In therapy, we provide a chance to identify and express how you are feeling in a healthy way. Feeling that you concerns or desires are heard can be the most important step toward repair and healing in a relationship. Together, we can move past the arguing and avoidance to find common ground.

Our therapists recognize that breaking the cycle of negativity and hurt can help the couple create a new norm. We work with couples that have past triggers that are challenging their current relationship. We help clients that have lost their ability to communicate with one another or feel that they need a new perspective to help them through. Reach out to us to learn more about how we can help.

Emotional Affair

Relate Family Therapy & Counseling understands the impact of emotional affairs on everyone involved. There is hurt and pain, but there can be growth again. Growing back toward each other is not easy, but it can be so worth it.

Infidelity

The Therapists at Relate Family Therapy & Counseling understand how this pain can affect a relationship. It even has the capacity to destroy it. It might feel like it already did, but that doesn’t have to be the case.

Past Trauma

The therapists at Relate Family Therapy & Counseling can help you and your partner know what your triggers are, as well as learn how to address your trauma. While none of your past trauma might be the fault of your partner, they can be a huge source of support, strength, and safety while working through it.

Co-Parenting

Parenting is always hard, but especially so when you are co-parenting with a former partner. There can be constant disagreements about how to do things, where the kids go during holidays, and how to address various concerns related to the kids. It can feel like a constant boulder on your back you have to carry through every conversation with your former partner. It doesn’t have to be such a heavy load.

Porn Addiction

Relate Family Therapy & Counseling has therapists who specialize in sex- related concerns, such as porn addiction. They can help you address your perspective on sex, collaboratively helping you come to your own definition of what is healthy, acceptable, and safe for you in regards to engagement in porn and other sexual behaviors.

Sex-Related Concerns

Intimacy can be difficult to maintain in a long-term relationship. There might be changes in the body that feel embarrassing or different than they used to. There can be anxiety, performance issues, or a lack of self-confidence that impedes satisfaction in this area of your relationship.

Mental Health Concerns

It’s not uncommon for at least one member of a family to have their own, individual mental health concerns. This could be anxiety, depression, ADHD, or any other diagnosis or recurring issue. It can be challenging to explain to a partner what is going on and how this mental health issue is affecting your relationship. It’s confusing for the other partner and frustrating for everyone.

Communication

Relate Family Therapy & Counseling has therapists who can help. Communication is a skill that can be learned, adapted, and modified to fit your needs in your specific context. Struggling with communication doesn’t have to be just the way things are. A therapist can work alongside you and help you practice these skills in the controlled environment of the office and at home through exercises.

Blended Family Concerns

The therapists at Relate Family Therapy & Counseling understand the beauty and the hardship of blending families. It can be incredible when it works, but getting to that point can take a neutral party to help you maneuver through the challenges. A therapist can help the whole family feel connected, supported, and heard.

Identity Work

Everyone holds various identities. These can range from age to race/ethnicity to sexual orientation and gender identity. Sometimes these identities fit and you can just roll right along with them. Other identities don’t fit, or they are related to some kind of distress or difficulty.

Addiction

The therapists at Relate Family Therapy & Counseling can help you address the issues that surround how addiction has affected your relationship. They can help you find your partner in that maze, as well as build a safe, supportive relationship along the way.

Couple's Intensive Therapy Sessions

Jasmyne Kettwick offers couples intensive therapy sessions for $800, which includes three 90-minute sessions aimed at helping couples overcome challenges and build stronger connections.

Therapeutic work with couples and partnerships takes effort, time, and consistency. The whole of this relationship is more than each individual within it. This means each person brings their whole self in its entirety into the relationship – their childhood, their attachments (and attachment wounds), their past romantic experiences, their trauma, and every other bit of history that they have. Sometimes these aspects of our humanness consolidate and mesh easily. Sometimes it takes a little more than romance, attraction, or passion to meld each partner’s different histories. This doesn’t mean the relationship isn’t meant to be! It just means there’s room to learn – about trauma, about addiction, about communication, about love languages, and about partnership as a whole. As long as you want to learn and work on your relationship, we are willing to put in the work, too. Our therapists are here to support you in the here and now as you work through your past to move toward the future you seek for this relationship.
