Common Relationship Challenges
Relationship issues can involve a romantic partner, family members, friends, roommates, or coworkers. They often stem from communication breakdowns, unmet needs, past hurts, or patterns we learned growing up. You may be dealing with:
- Frequent arguments or conflict that never gets resolved
- Feeling more like roommates than partners
- Infidelity or broken trust
- Difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries
- Codependency or losing yourself in relationships
- Struggles with in-laws, parents, or adult children
- Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns
- Difficulty making or keeping friends, or feeling isolated
- Questions about whether to stay in or leave a relationship
How Therapy Helps Relationships
Therapy helps you step back from the cycle of conflict and see what is really happening underneath. In couples therapy, our therapists use approaches such as the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help partners communicate respectfully, repair ruptures, rebuild trust, and rediscover intimacy. In family therapy, we focus on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and healing strained bonds between parents, children, and extended family.
You do not need your partner or family to attend to make progress. In individual therapy, you can explore your attachment patterns, learn to express needs clearly, set healthy boundaries, and make confident decisions about your relationships.
Group Therapy for Interpersonal Growth
Our interpersonal process group therapy is designed specifically to help people understand and enhance how they relate to others. In a safe, confidential setting, you will receive feedback about your interpersonal style, practice new ways of connecting, and discover that others share similar struggles. We also offer communication workshops for couples and individuals who want to strengthen their skills.
Support for Every Relationship Stage
We work with newly dating couples, long-term partners, blended families, parents of teens, and college students navigating roommates and dating through our UF and Santa Fe student counseling. Young clients struggling with friendships can benefit from kids and teens counseling.
Relationship challenges often overlap with low self-esteem, life transitions, and symptoms addressed in our anxiety treatment. Explore all conditions we treat or meet our therapists.
