Relationship Problems

Problems with substance use or abuse can come in many forms. Some people struggle with daily use that is common in substance addiction, but many others have problems with substance use and are not addicted.  Developing and maintaining healthy relationships can be challenging for anyone.  Every relationship has problems, and even when people generally get along well, it is common for everyday stressors or life transitions to lead to conflicts and disconnection. Some couples, friends, and business partners have frequent conflicts and their problems are obviously distressing. Other people struggle with disconnection and may find themselves more quietly growing apart, or feeling a general lack of fulfillment in the relationship. In such challenging situations, individual psychotherapy can help you to understand your needs, wants and emotions better, so that you can communicate more effectively with your partner(s), develop the ability to resolve conflicts, and work on creating a more positive connection together.
