Individual Therapy in the Flatiron District For Relationship Issues

Navigating Dissatisfaction & Overcoming Your Relationship Problems

You’re struggling to connect with the people in your life who matter most. Friends, family members, maybe even your partner.
As a result, you’re constantly feeling alone, like you’re always in conflict with the people around you.

Relationship problems means dissatisfaction in your life.

Maybe your struggles with depression and anxiety show up in your relationships, and it feels like they drive people further away from you rather than bring them closer. So, how do you communicate with the most important people in your life? How do you navigate conflict?

Maybe you’re struggling with a current relationship, or having a hard time building new ones. I’ll help you learn how to not let fear and anxiety get in the way. Fear of conflict, fear of rejection, fear of being alone.

No one really teaches you in school how to manage your relationships, so that’s part of what we do in therapy. You’ll learn how to communicate, how to express to people what you need, how to resolve conflict. Ultimately, through relationship therapy, we can help you find more satisfaction in your relationships.

Are you struggling with a toxic relationship & considering relationship therapy?

Maybe you need help getting out of a toxic relationship that’s getting in the way of your life. Maybe you need help learning how to set healthy boundaries.

A relationship like that takes a lot of your energy. There’s more take than give, and you’re left feeling like there’s little room for you to talk about what’s going on in your life. Maybe that person expects you to always be available to them, and there are consequences when you’re not.

Maybe this relationship leaves you feeling constantly drained from interacting with this person, or even thinking about an interaction with this person. You end up feeling guilty that you can’t give more.

You question whether it’s you or them that needs to change.

The truth is that you have the right to have space in this relationship. To feel like it’s not all about the other person. We can help you get clarity on what you want out of this relationship, and the steps you need to take in order to get there.

Still have some questions regarding relationship therapy?

WHAT IF THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY EXPECTATIONS ARE TOO HIGH?

Part of the process is examining your thought process and evaluating your expectations. Then we can work on changing the narrative to one that will be more conducive to finding relationship satisfaction. This falls under the piece talked about above, relating to obstacles and roadblocks that have been keeping you from the relationship happiness you want.

I AM OK WITH MOST OF MY RELATIONSHIPS, IT’S JUST ONE PERSON OR ONE AREA THAT I STRUGGLE WITH, WILL RELATIONSHIP THERAPY STILL HELP?

The answer is yes! If you are lacking in one relationship area, that can still have an intense impact on your mental state. Exploring what exactly is going on there, and learning new skills is extremely beneficial.

If in general, you are happy in your relationships, but it is just one particular person, relationship therapy is still valuable. This one relationship seems to have such an impact that it has led you to do research on finding help. That being the case, outside support is just what you need. The same logic as above stands. Exploring what exactly is going on there, and learning new skills, is extremely beneficial.

I AM FEELING DISSATISFIED WITH LIFE IN GENERAL, RELATIONSHIPS ARE JUST ONE AREA, SHOULD I BE FOCUSING ON SOMETHING ELSE FIRST?

Relationship therapy is never just about relationships. Each part of our lives is interconnected, and dealing with one area will have an effect on another. While going through this process, we will address all aspects of your life. We will determine together where to put our focus and how to use these skills to bring you overall life satisfaction.
