Identify the Problem(s)
Relationship therapists are skilled in understanding relationship dynamics, such as communication issues, conflict resolution, and relationship boundaries and expectations. They help couples and families identify and explore underlying issues that may be causing problems in the relationship.
The Goal of Relationship Therapy
The goal of relationship therapy by our Ottawa counselors is to help couples and families create relationships that are based on trust, respect, and understanding. To do this, a relationship therapist helps couples and families identify their needs and wants. They also help couples and families explore their feelings and emotions in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Help Individuals Within the Relationship
In addition to helping couples and families improve their relationships, a relationship therapist can also help individuals within the relationship. A relationship therapist can help individuals understand their emotions and behavior and how they can be contributing to the relationship dynamic.
Offer Coping Strategies
Relationship and couples counselors can also provide guidance on how to cope with difficult times in the relationship. They can help individuals and couples develop healthier strategies for addressing conflict, such as setting boundaries and expressing needs.
