Every relationship, no matter how close, faces challenges over time. Financial difficulties, communication issues, loss of intimacy, health challenges, and coping with major life changes, are among some of the most prevalent obstacles couples may confront during the course of their lives together. And even among couples who are accustomed to working things out on their own, the difficulty of finding common ground may become overwhelming.
That’s when the licensed, trained therapist at Hackensack can help. We offer a safe, confidential space for both partners to be listened to, separately and together, as we provide the tools and strategies for couples to repair and rebuild the bonds they share. Working with the right counselor has been shown to be successful in more than two-thirds of all cases, according to studies.
And while most people don’t think twice about receiving a doctor’s care for a medical issue, the idea of seeking professional help for relationship challenges may seem foreign to those accustomed to patching things up themselves. It’s difficult to objectively view what’s going on with ourselves or our partners; our therapist can add an impartial voice to the process.
In our sessions, couples work together to communicate more positively and effectively, as they begin to experience less conflict and more hope in their lives together. They may learn things about each other they were previously unaware of, even if they’ve been together for years. Studies suggest that couples wait an average of six years after problems start to seek the help of a therapist. Unfortunately, delay can diminish the chances for success in treatment.
Every couple goes through ups and downs over the course of time. But if a rough patch shows no sign of smoothing out despite your repeated efforts, our therapist at Hackensack can help. Please contact us today to arrange an initial consultation.
