What is couples counseling?

Couples counseling is a way of healing rifts and overcoming relationship problems between partners if they have difficulties resolving such difficulties themselves.

Heath Counseling and Consultation Services has professional counselors providing behavioral health support to couples both together and individually. They can help you build healthier relationships using the following:

• Active Listening
• Professional Guidance
• Emotional Support

Heath Counseling and Consultation Services counselors always treat their clients with authenticity, warmth, integrity, focus, and professionalism.

Research combined with training and experience shows that close relationships are vital for most people. Humans are social creatures created to connect with other people. Having close relationships, as you would with a life partner or spouse, provides emotional safety and some of the most significant rewards in life.

When there are problems with these close relationships, it can have a devastating effect on both your lives. Fortunately, counseling at Heath Counseling and Consultation Services can help get your partnership back on track and make it stronger than ever.

Why would I need couples counseling?

Some of the most common types of problems that bring people to couples counseling include:

• Communication problems
• Sexual difficulties
• Family conflicts
• Trouble with children
• Substance abuse
• Anger
• Debt and money worries
• Infidelity
  

You can take part in couples counseling before you start encountering any issues in your relationship, too. For instance, couples counseling before marriage can provide you with the practical and emotional tools to deal with future challenges. 

Couples counseling isn’t just for people who are married. Whatever your status or sexual orientation, counseling can improve your relationship.

How does couples counseling work?

The couples counseling environment is a safe, neutral space where you can work on improving your relationship without judgment. Couples counseling typically follows a three-stage process:

• Assessment and education
• Symptom management and relief
• Healing underlying issues
  

Your counselor at Heath Counseling and Consultation Services sees your therapy as a collaborative partnership. They always respect the pace at which you’re happy to move, your stage of readiness in moving forward, and the goals you have in mind.

The type of therapy can vary according to your needs and what best suits your situation. All treatments used at Heath Counseling and Consultation Services are evidenced-based, for example, client-centered treatment and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
