New Lenox Couples Counseling

New Lenox Couples Counseling

Healthy relationships are the building blocks of a fulfilling life. Whether you’re married to your partner or have just been together for many years, it’s important to nurture your relationship from time to time. Talking to a counselor is one of the best ways to keep your relationship going strong in tough times. At Counseling Works, we have a staff of experienced therapists who are committed to you and your partner. Our New Lenox couples counseling services will help you see your relationship from a new perspective. 

What Are the Goals of New Lenox Couples Counseling?

Counseling helps you and your relationship thrive. You will have the opportunity to openly discuss your concerns with your partner, letting you communicate while in a safe space. Counseling looks different for each couple, but many of our clients share common goals:

• Establishing Empathy. Empathy comes more naturally to some than others, but it’s a trait that can be learned. Practicing empathy lets you see things from your partner’s perspective before judging them, mitigating the chances of a fight. 
• Improving Communication. No one can read minds. We rely on the other individual’s words to understand their thoughts and feelings. Therapy is used to improve communication between you and your partner. Our therapists will help you build communication skills and learn to speak honestly with each other. 
• Identify Unproductive Patterns. A therapist acts as a neutral third party, and so we may be able to see a problem that you and your partner view as normal. For instance, when an argument breaks out, do you walk away? Do either of you raise your voices, or call each other names? These habits are threatening and detrimental to your communication, so unlearning these behaviors are key to a stronger relationship. 
• Healing Old Wounds. It can be difficult to move on from the past, especially if a major issue remains unresolved. If your partner has done something to hurt you in the past, talking to a counselor can help you find forgiveness. Handling the issue with grace lets you heal and make amends with your partner. Infidelity, in particular, can cause long lasting trust issues. Addressing those problems helps you and your partner move forward. 

No matter what brings you and your partner to our office, our therapists provide the guidance you are looking for. We listen to your concerns and offer compassion when you’re going through a tough time. Let us be your guide as you work towards a happier, healthier relationship.
