How to Know If Your Relationship Needs Support

Every couple experiences ups and downs. However, specific patterns suggest that professional help could be valuable.


You might consider couples therapy if:


  • Arguments feel circular, repetitive, and unresolved
  • Emotional intimacy feels strained or absent
  • Conversations escalate quickly into defensiveness or silence
  • Trust has been weakened by betrayal, distance, or secrecy
  • Significant life changes (like a move, parenting stress, or loss) create division
  • You feel more like roommates or adversaries than partners


Needing support is not a sign that your relationship has failed.


It is a sign that your bond deserves attention and care before patterns harden into lasting disconnection. Feel free to call us today if you need support.
