Online and In-Person Therapy for Relationship Issues
A good relationship (professional, romantic, or familial) is a great thing. Relationships help us feel connected to the world around us, valued, and satisfied with our lives. For people who struggle to develop and sustain healthy relationships, life can feel infinitely more challenging and less fulfilling. If you find relationships challenging, struggle to connect with others, or just can’t seem to sustain your partnerships, it may be time to talk to a professional. At Lakeside Counseling, we offer online therapy for people struggling with relationship issues. We welcome individuals who want to improve their relationships as well as couples and families who need a little extra support and guidance navigating tough times. You can find out a bit more about the many benefits of therapy for managing relationships issues on this page or by calling to schedule a consultation with one of our team members.
Who Can Benefit from Therapy for Relationship Issues?
Developing, maintaining, and restoring relationships is hard work, but the fulfillment and joy we can receive from these relationships makes the efforts worth our while. If one or more of your relationships is not what you hoped it would be, therapy for relationship issues may be a good option. Specifically, therapy can help people who are:
Establishing healthy relationships – learning and respecting your own needs, setting healthy boundaries, or managing relationships with difficult people.
Maintaining and sustaining attachment bonds – long-lasting relationships of all kinds take work to maintain, including communicating effectively and respecting other people’s boundaries as well as setting your own.
Healing after loss, rejection, or betrayal – when relationships breakdown, it’s important to lean to heal, process the emotions involved, and make plans to learn from your relationship issues and move forward.
How Does Therapy Help with Relationship Issues?
When you work with one of our skilled therapists to improve your relationships, we will make use of evidence-based therapy practices to help you process emotional responses to difficult relationships, develop important relationship skills like communication and emotional intelligence, and learn to understand your own needs and desires more fully.
