Helpful Couples Counseling in Brentwood and Nashville, TN

Is your relationship in distress?

Realizing there is an issue is often the first step, desiring to fix it, and then also being committed to getting back on track.

Relationship or couples counseling offers an array of benefits such as an impartial therapist who can suggest options you might not have considered, help to recognize and modify relationship patterns, and become aware of the reasons behind reactions and purposes.  

Couples Counseling can be valuable in solving a current or ongoing issue, avoiding making problems worse. It can also be merely as a “check-up” for a normally happy couple who is in the midst of transition or increased stress. Common matters of concern addressed in couples therapy include issues with parenting, money, sex, infidelity, chronic health issues, infertility, gambling, substance use, frequent conflict and emotional distance.

What if my loved one doesn't want to join in?

If your significant other refuses to attend couples counseling, but you want the help, we urge you to attend counseling on your own. Just let me know that you are here for couples counseling not individual therapy.
Another way to put it is: individually you are not the client, your relationship is. Often people think relationship counseling only works when both of you want to make their marriage work. Yet, you can change your couples’ relationship (or any relationship) just by what YOU do and how YOU behave. It can take longer than if the other person was totally agreeing with making improvements. Over time, nevertheless, your genuineness and accepting approach to seeking a better relationship will affect your loved one in a positive way.

If you are the only one who wants a relationship or couples counselor’s help, then reach out. At least you are striving to improve yourself and your end of the relationship.
