Being apart and alone is extremely hard

  • You feel anxious and scared.

  • You always want to be around your partner.

  • When they need space, you freak out.

  • You don’t know how to feel okay with being alone.


You don’t trust your partner…

  • No matter what they say or do.

  • You're checking up on them and feel stressed when you don’t hear from them.

  • You feel jealous easily and lack self-confidence.

Your mind wanders to worst case scenarios:

  • You frequently think they are lying to you or being shady.

  • You think they may leave you for someone else or are cheating.

You’ve been in toxic relationships…So it’s hard for you to let your walls down….you're so afraid of getting hurt again.

It seems like you're always angry

  • You can never just feel happy, safe or calm.

  • You rely heavily on your partner for emotional support.

You don’t know how to express yourself effectively…

  • Because your emotions just take over.

  • You say things that are mean (blame, name call, curse, and criticize) leaving you feeling guilty afterwards

  • Or you completely shut down and refuse to speak.

And when your significant other becomes angry or upset… you don’t know how to handle it. You don’t feel okay unless your partner is okay.

  • You don’t feel worthy enough for him to stay long-term.

And you never feel good enough for your partner.

You’ve had enough


You know that if you keep going like this, your relationship is not going to last and if it does, you’ll end up constantly fighting, and resenting each other.

You’ve had enough of the arguments, you're so disappointed with how things have been going, and you're tired of the threats of breaking up.

You’re constantly feeling sad, scared, and anxious when it comes to your relationship.

You can feel happy, confident and loved.

Take a moment and imagine this for your life. Where you can:

  • Trust that things will be okay.

  • Meet your own want and needs.

  • Create a meaningful and fulfilling relationship.

  • Set healthy boundaries

  • Enjoy spending time apart and together. 

  • Feel empowered to handle conflict.

  • Have trust that will allow you to be more flexible, calm, and open.

  • Feel confident in yourself and your relationship.

  • Feel loved. 

This is what therapy can do for you.

How individual therapy for Relationships works

  • With therapy, you’ll learn how to identify what happens to your mind and body when you are experiencing distressing feelings. You’ll start to recognize patterns in your thinking and behaviors.

    Also, you’ll gain awareness on not only what triggers you, but why. You’ll learn to understand why it’s so difficult for you trust, feel loved, and have confidence in yourself and your relationship.

  • You’ll learn skills that are not only healthier, but also more effective in managing your feelings. As much as many of us wish to rid our distress all together, that’s not possible. So you will gain the tools and confidence to tolerate and manage your emotions

    You’ll no longer be trying to run away or avoid your thoughts and feelings, but you will learn to deal with and embrace it.

  • You’ll learn how to paradoxically accept yourself and validate your feelings in order to cultivate change. Self-criticism/doubt will no longer dominate your thoughts and you will learn a healthier way of approaching yourself-especially the parts that you don’t like about yourself-with kindness, understanding and compassion.

  • You’ll cultivate compassion for yourself by gaining an understanding of how your past (possibly painful) experiences impacted you. With identifying deep wounds, you will learn how to heal those parts of you that constantly have your nervous system in survival mode.

    You will stop overly depending on others and find peace by nourishing your own wants and needs with love and compassion.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness is being present, on purpose, and without judgment. With mindfulness-based interventions, you will learn to gain awareness of your feelings, bodily sensations, thought patterns, behaviors, environment, and relationships. Mindfulness helps you tolerate unpleasant emotions, cultivate self-acceptance, and enhance connection with yourself and others.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy uses opposite ideas-acceptance of who you are, and your desire to change-in order to ultimately lead to change. You will learn how to tolerate your distress, and manage difficult situations with the use of  life skills. You will gain empowerment and control of your emotions.
