Therapy for Relationship Issues

Ever Feel Like Your Needs Get Lost in Translation?

Maybe you’re used to putting others first, get stuck in the same arguments on repeat, struggle to set boundaries, or questioning if you’re asking for too much (psst- you’re not).

Whether it’s a romantic relationship, family dynamic, friendship, work or school environment, navigating connection shouldn’t feel like an uphill battle.

The good news is that you can break unhealthy patterns and build relationships that feel fulfilling. With the right tools and support, you can create the kind of relationships that actually work for you.

Common Topics

People Pleasing

Are you the go-to “yes” person, even when you really want to say no? Do you catch yourself over-explaining, over-apologizing, or bending over backward to keep the peace? Let’s work on setting boundaries that feel good and are easy to stick to.

Boundaries

Does it seem like your needs always take a backseat while everyone else gets priority seating? Do you often say yes when you want to say no and then spend the rest of the day feeling annoyed at yourself? Setting boundaries is about making room for you. In therapy, we'll work on getting your voice heard and respected.

Enmeshment

Feeling like your life choices come with a family approval stamp (or a guilt trip if they don’t)? When relationships are too intertwined, it's hard to tell where you end and others begin. Therapy helps to untangle expectations, set healthy boundaries, and help you step into a life that feels fully yours.

Fulfilling Relationships are Closer than You Think.

Everyone is capable of creating healthy relationships with the right skills. Understanding how attachment can influence your personal belief system, emotions and behaviours in relationships plays a key role in re-establishing relationships and making space for yourself.

If you’re experiencing relationship conflict, we’ll explore topics like assertiveness, boundary setting, emotion regulation, conflict resolution and making relationship repairs.

Sometimes relationship dynamics can seem fragile. With therapy, you can build the confidence to assert your needs, state your boundaries and stand your ground without guilt.
