Marriage and Relationship Counseling in Colleyville
Marriage and relationship counselors and therapists in Colleyville can help address or resolve a variety of issues involving romantic partners. Couples counselors do not take sides and generally don’t give advice. Rather, marriage and relationship counselors help partners to identify the roots of their issues, communicate openly and honestly, develop empathy for each other’s perspectives, and move forward in an amicable and respectful way. Couples counselors may suggest exercises, either in session or to take home, as well as other tools and resources that can help partners develop more productive, loving ways of relating to one another.
With the divorce rate hovering at about 40% to 50% in the U.S.—higher for subsequent marriages—there is no shortage of couples who can benefit from marriage counseling. However, not all relationship counseling is about resolving problems. Many couples seek therapy in Colleyville simply to learn skills and strategies that may help them prevent relationship problems, misunderstandings, and conflict in the future. Premarital counseling is specifically designed to help couples enter marriage with open eyes and address potential areas of conflict before they become serious issues.
Many relationship counselors work with LGBTQIA+ couples. Some therapists also specialize in nontraditional relationship structures such as polyamory or ethical nonmonogamy.
