In families, couples, and relationships, one thing is certain: change. To stay together, we need to grow together. This is where couples therapy comes in. A trained therapist can help you dialogue more effectively with your partner and help to figure out what is at the root of your relationship tension. Whether you want a tune-up or a total renovation for your relationship, couples therapy is an important step in moving forward.
Those who have had bad experiences getting relationship advice or counseling know how frustrating it is to talk to someone who does not know the unique needs, desires, and challenges of your relationship. This is especially true of couples and families who navigate differences in race, culture, socioeconomic class, immigration status, age, religious background, or communication style.
Queer couples and families have unique needs as well. In some relationships, one or more partners may be experiencing an evolution in their gender or sexual identity. Others want help opening their relationship, setting better boundaries, re-establishing trust, re-igniting sexual connection, or navigating polyamorous relationships and polycules.
At JWP, our therapists have experience and training in working with families and couples using a multicultural, emotionally focused, and queer-affirming approach. Our goal is to help you figure out your relationship needs and help you communicate about them so that you can find solutions that work best for your relationship.
