You don’t seem to notice until you are further into the relationship and suddenly there the same cycle is again.

Finding a romantic relationship as an adult is hard work. You might no longer have school or other regular in-person activities to build organic relationships.
Or maybe you are in a relationship and feel lonely despite being with someone.
-
If you haven’t had good examples of what a satisfying and authentic relationship can look like, it can feel difficult to know how to cultivate that.
How do you choose who you spend time with? How do you share desires and needs? What are your needs and what do you want?
Your relationship does not have to be a source of stress. Together, we can explore what is keeping you stuck and help you figure out what you need going forward.
What is Individual Therapy for Relationship Issues?
Often people think of couples counseling when navigating relationship issues, but it is also extremely valuable to have your own space to process what is going on for you. While couples therapy can help your relationship as a couple, individual therapy gives you your own space to explore things and grow a stronger relationship with yourself which will then impact how you how up in your relationship. We can explore:
-
We will explore what you’ve been carrying and unpack your feelings and experience with compassion and understanding.
-
So much of relationship issues stem from unmet needs. Identifying your person unmet needs can be key to understanding the deeper layers of what is going on.
While anger might be what is coming to the surface, what is happening for you beneath that? Clarifying those layers and the root of what is happening for you can bring a lot of understanding and relief to your experience.
-
You keep having the same fight or the same hurt that surfaces again and again.
There is a reason for that and our work can help you explore the relational patterns and where they might be stemming from for you.
-
Identifying your experience and needs is one thing, but feeling confident communicating them can be challenging.
We will explore what you want to communicate and practice practical tools to help you feel clear and confident voicing those things to your partner.
What are Common Relationship Issues?
When you are in the middle of an unhappy relationship it can feel isolating and lonely. Relationship struggles are common and here are some of the common things I heard:
-
You end one relationship just to find yourself in a new relationship that has the same dynamic.
You don’t understand how or why this keeps happening and you feel frustrated.
-
You have the same frustration you did months ago and your partner still doesn’t get it.
The same conversation and fight keeps happening and you feel stuck in a loop.
-
The transition to parenthood has a significant impact on your time, energy, and resources.
Sleep deprivation and little time for yourself can quickly spill into not having time for each other.
The responsibilities of parenthood have changed how you relate to each other. Or sometimes different parenting styles or different contributions to taking care of your children bring up tension and conflict.
-
Maybe your relationship had a season of being close and now you feel like your partner has changed.
The person you once knew feels distant and you don’t understand what has changed or how to feel close to them again.
This can happen from regular life transitions and changes or maybe you’re navigating something deeper like a partner struggling with health issues, addiction, job loss, or trauma and the loss of who they used to be feels overwhelming.
-
Whether you found yourself cultivating a relationship with someone else or caught your partner cheating on you, infidelity can be devastating.
A relationship you once thought was safe and committed now feels shattered and uncertain.
How Therapy Can Help
Individual therapy for relationship issues offers you space to understand the root of what is going on without the stress of sharing the space with your partner. This allows you to identify your experience, process it in a non-judgemental space, and communicate what you need to in your relationship.
Find greater clarity on what is happening for you and why you feel stuck.
Identify your personal needs and feel more confident sharing them with your partner.
Experience your own safe place to process that is just for you.
Grow a more authentic relationship to yourself which will allow you to show up more authentically in your relationship with your partner.
My Approach to Relationship Issues
Clarify what is happening for you internally.
When you and your partner are fighting it can be difficult to slow down and identify what you are feeling and what the hurt is about. Therapy provides a space for you to share unfiltered and understand the root of why you feel frustrated and upset.
Feel more grounded and authentic.
Individual therapy will help you feel more compassion, curiosity, and understanding for your experience. Building this foundation will allow you to be more authentic and as a result you will feel more grounded and able to offer that same compassion, curiosity and understanding in relationship.
Know what you need and how to share that.
When you shut down or yell or feel hurt by something your partner did or said it is often your body’s way of communicating unmet needs. The reason them being late for dinner bothers you isn’t actually about dinner. Our work will help you clarify your needs and confidently share them.
Therapy for Relationship Issues: How it Works
Book a Free Consultation
This consultation is where I can hear more about the support you need from therapy and we can determine if we are a good fit to work together.
Understand Your Experience
In our first session, I'll ask about your history and what you want to focus on in our work. From here, we will explore what you’re experiencing in your relationship. As you have a safe place to process and share you will gain a greater understand of what is happening for you and why you are feeling the way you do.
Identify What You Need + Want
Identifying what you want and need in your relationship will help you clarify what is currently missing in your relationship and the tools to communicate that with your partner. When you can share what you value and need in your relationship it can build a more authentic and deeper connection instead of staying stuck in the same patterns or fight. And if you don’t have a partner it will help you know what you are looking for in your next relationship.
Feel More Connected
Individual therapy will help you first feel more connected to yourself. As you have your own space to grow in understanding and compassion you will notice feeling more connected in your relationship. When you are no longer at war with your feelings and instead able to accept and meet them with curiosity and compassion it will allow you to communicate your needs and also hear your partner’s needs with greater clarity.
