Couples Therapy
Strengthen Your Relationship with Couples Counseling
Every romantic relationship has its ups and downs, regardless of whether you’ve been together for a few months or a few years. Even the best relationships experience conflict and emotional distance at times. Fortunately, couples counseling can provide the perfect opportunity for you and your partner to work through challenges together and build a stronger relationship. At Wellington Counseling Group, we are proud to offer couples counseling in Chicago to support all couples, including those in the LGBTQ+ communities, and help couples feel more fulfilled in their romantic commitments.
Why You and Your Partner Should Explore Relationship Counseling
Does it feel like you and your partner are constantly fighting with each other? Have you struggled to restore your relationship and your trust in one another after a betrayal? Romantic relationships are complex subjects and the dynamics of each one are unique to the couple. The only way you and your partner can hope to overcome past conflicts and resolve complicated feelings and emotions is to talk about them in healthy and meaningful conversations.
Couples therapy provides a safe and comfortable space for you to be open and truthful with one another and have challenging, yet important conversations. By talking and working together, you can identify the strengths and weaknesses within your relationship and develop a well-rounded understanding of one another’s behaviors, goals, and habits. Over time, those insights will help establish a solid foundation of trust so you and your partner can create a more positive life together.
Our Approach to Couples Counseling at Wellington Counseling Group
Our goal is to strengthen the bond between you and your partner by helping you both to recognize your individual strengths and quirks, and how your characteristics complement each other. Our relationship therapists approach each session with an open and inclusive mindset. And while each of our couples therapists implements their own unique approaches and techniques, the ultimate goal of our couples therapy in Chicago is to enrich the connection between both parties through strength and solution-oriented philosophies.
What to Expect from Couples Counseling
In order to provide the best possible value to you and your partner, we begin with one or two initial sessions to get to know both of you very well. We’ll take the time to discuss your hopes and dreams, perceptions of the relationship, and identify any known points of difference. Additionally, we’ll schedule one-on-one appointments with each of you to assess your confidence in the relationship and your commitment to each other. These sessions allow our therapist to develop a strong foundational knowledge of both partners, which then allows us to determine the best path forward for your couples counseling in Chicago.
From there, we’ll guide you through many therapeutic exercises and talk therapy activities to help you heal from the past, break old patterns, and develop new skills to improve your relationship. You deserve to experience a happy and fulfilling partnership, and we aim to bring about positive changes so you can enjoy that experience together.
