ABOUT COUPLES THERAPY
Relationship problems are among the most stressful conditions people face. Distressed couples are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, suicidality, and substance abuse, as well as physiological symptoms including direct effects on cardiovascular, immune, and endocrine systems. Relationship distress contributes to nearly 50% of admissions to mental hospitals, and couple issues have been shown to cause or worsen behavioural and psychological issues in children. These findings make clear that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.
​
Very often, couples are stuck in repetitive cycles over issues that seem to have no resolution. Couples therapy provides a place where both partners can share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns with an unbiased other. We will listen and, without taking sides, help you make sense of what is happening in your relationship.
