The Counseling Alliance of Virginia

It’s only natural that even the strongest relationships get strained at some point and time, resulting in the inability to function optimally. In counseling a partnership or couple can recognize and begin to better manage or reconcile troublesome differences and repeating patterns of distress. Issues and concerns can be explored collaboratively and discussed openly. The couple can adopt conscious changes in the relationship and over time the effectiveness evaluated and improved upon as needed. The rewards of couples counseling can be many, including the skill to implement new coping strategies, improved communication, better understanding of self & partner, a return to operating from the heart center & the joy of being in the relationship, and the satisfaction of balancing the need for intimacy and autonomy within the relationship.
