Enhance Your Relationship with Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy in New York

You can grow closer and deepen your relationship by working together to overcome communication challenges, gaining insights on how past relationship habits and difficult life experiences are impacting your current relationship, and learning new relationship skills and habits.

You are committed to each other but it’s hard sometimes to communicate — to feel heard and connected.

You and your partner love each other. You’ve had good times and made it through challenging times — together.

But even loving relationships can face hardships and issues.

And now you may find yourselves struggling to overcome difficulties as a couple, such as:

Trouble talking with each other about difficult emotions or events
Difficulty expressing your needs and wishes
Repeating unhelpful relationship habits and patterns

As a result, you may feel more disconnected, lonely, unsure, and hurt.

Yet despite the difficulties, you are committed to solving the problems because you care about each other and your relationship.
