"Sometimes things just don't work out," they say. But if you've ever loved and lost, or ended a longstanding friendship, or experienced conflict with a family member, you know there's so much more to it than that. Beginning a new relationship, navigating a tough spot in an established relationship, or processing the grief of a failed relationship are all things perfectly suited to the therapeutic space. Therapy offers the opportunity to increase self-awareness, improve emotional intelligence, and learn new communication skills; all things integral to cultivating and maintaining satisfying and healthy connection with folks in your world.
