Our Marriage and Couples Counseling Will Help You Overcome Relationship Issues

The Center for Psychological Services in Waterford Township, MI, offers counseling for married people and couples who live together or are dealing with issues in their relationship. The key to any healthy relationship is communication. When communication breaks down, it can distance the people involved in the relationship and damage it. If you cannot communicate with your partner effectively, marriage or couples therapy can help. Couples therapy teaches you to communicate more effectively. We enforce skills like listening and compromising to settle disagreements in a way that leaves both sides feeling better.

Effective Counseling for Couples Dealing With Certain Issues

Intimacy Issues

Intimacy issues are another reason a couple may consider therapy. It is a complex issue for many people and involves many sensitive topics. A therapist can help by asking the right questions and putting the couple at ease when discussing such a personal subject.

Parenting Issues

Another reason for couples therapy could be for parenting help. You may have a different outlook on parenting than your spouse. A child’s upbringing is one of the most important responsibilities of a couple, and it can lead to problems.

Parenting and Divorce

If you and your spouse are divorced, it can introduce more challenges into the process. A couple’s therapist can help you reach agreements on how to raise your children and instill effective ways to communicate with each other and with your children.

Marriage Counseling

Let’s face it, couples argue. A certain amount of arguing is even healthy for a relationship. It helps bring relationship issues to the forefront so they can be confronted and worked on to strengthen your bond. When these arguments carry on for long periods, become frequent, or lead to violence, they become a problem that weakens and endangers the relationship. Our licensed and trained psychologists and marriage and family therapists adopt a direct, engaged, and active approach to help couples with a wide range of problems, including:

  • Communication struggles
  • Repairing and rebuilding
  • Conflict resolution skills
  • Infertility
  • Infidelity
  • Newlywed adjustment
  • Pre-marital and pre-cohabitation counseling
  • Pregnancy and post-baby couples counseling
  • Parenting
  • Adoption
  • Divorce
  • Sexual problems

Couples Counseling
