Relationship Therapy for One
It’s lonely here.
Can you even remember the last time you didn’t feel invisible? People just pass you by and don’t even say hello anymore. And you no longer open up because you don’t see the point.
When people in your circle connect to you, it’s usually because they want something – not because they really want to know how you’re doing. They’ve become more like acquaintances rather than friends you’re comfortable expressing yourself with.
And let’s not even TALK about romance. Attempt after attempt… and nothing. Those relationships left you feeling “less than,” wondering if a long-term partnership is even possible.
Relationship satisfaction has been elusive, and it’s frustrating because you don’t really know why.
When you feel unheard or unappreciated…
…it can be deeply isolating. It leaves you questioning your worth in the relationships that matter most.
With friends…
“I’m always the one calling or trying to hang out, but they’re always busy and don’t seem to have time for me.”
With partners…
“I put so much effort into this relationship, but it feels one-sided – like I’m in it by myself.”
At work…
“I work so hard, but no one seems to notice or reward me for it.”
With family…
“I’m always the one listening and supporting, but when I need help, it’s like they don’t even notice.”
Relationships are some of our most important assets.
That’s why it hurts so badly when there’s friction and strife. You naturally want to matter to those around you.
Ongoing dissatisfaction in relationships can build resentments that affect how you show up in the world and express yourself. The tension can lead to mental health issues like anxiety and depression… emotional issues like diminished self-worth and motivation… or physical symptoms like high blood pressure and fatigue.
Therapy gives you the ability to discern when a relationship is worth nurturing… or when it might be time to take a step back.
If your relationships aren’t working out…
You’ve come to the right place! Individual relationship therapy gives you the space to address these issues and discover the root causes of relationship challenges.
Establishing boundaries…
Boundaries let others know our limits. Without them, it’s easy to be taken advantage of or disconnected from your needs.
Learning to set boundaries is essential for creating a healthier environment for your relationships. It helps you gain self-respect, confidence, and emotional balance.
Improving communication…
Having boundaries is important, but knowing how to communicate them and other things on your mind is essential.
In therapy, you’ll learn to speak your wants and needs clearly and directly. You’ll also improve your listening skills so you can receive constructive feedback from others.
Expressing your needs…
We all have physical and emotional needs, but they often go undiscussed in our relationships.
Talk therapy gives you a safe space to practice saying your thoughts out loud so you can express what you need more often.
Trusting yourself…
Unhealthy relationships make us question our values and limit our confidence. The most important relationship that we have to nurture is the one we have with ourselves.
In our work together, we will look at how you talk to yourself. You’ll learn to challenge the false assumptions and doubts keeping you from fully expressing yourself with others.
Let’s put your relationships back on track.
When you learn where your relationships are going wrong, you’ll be able to make the changes needed to mend what’s broken.
Soon, you’ll be enjoying more satisfying connections where you feel seen and valued.
Asking for what you need without guilt, managing conflict constructively, and saying “no” when appropriate…
These are the skills you need to foster healthy, long-term relationships in any setting.
