How Therapy Can Improve Your Relationships

Updated: Apr 7


Relationships, whether with family, friends, or romantic partners, are an essential part of life. However, they can also be a source of stress, conflict, or misunderstanding. Therapy can help individuals and couples improve their relationships in the following ways:


1. Improves Communication

Many relationship issues stem from poor communication. Therapy helps individuals and couples learn how to express their thoughts and emotions clearly and respectfully. It also teaches active listening skills, so both parties feel heard and understood.


2. Teaches Conflict Resolution

Conflict is natural in any relationship, but how it’s handled can make all the difference. Therapy provides strategies for resolving conflicts in a way that is constructive rather than destructive. Couples learn to approach disagreements with empathy and respect rather than blame and anger.


3. Helps Build Empathy and Understanding

Therapy fosters empathy by encouraging each person to view situations from the other’s perspective. This can lead to a greater understanding of each other’s needs, desires, and triggers, helping to strengthen the bond between partners, friends, or family members.


4. Supports Personal Growth within Relationships

Therapy helps individuals grow not only within themselves but also within their relationships. By addressing personal issues, insecurities, or past traumas, people can become healthier, more self-aware individuals who contribute positively to their relationships.


5. Improves Intimacy

Whether emotional or physical, intimacy is a key aspect of any relationship. Therapy helps individuals address barriers to intimacy, whether they stem from trust issues, past trauma, or unresolved conflicts.


Therapy is a powerful tool for improving relationships. By learning to communicate better, resolve conflicts, and understand one another, therapy helps create stronger, more fulfilling connections.

Insurance & Fees

 

When scheduling an appointment, we will verify your insurance benefits and let you know what they are including any co-pays, co-insurance, deductibles, required pre-authorization, etc. We can answer any questions you have regarding your insurance benefits. That being said, sometimes we do receive incorrect information from insurance companies, which is out of our control. It is extremely important to note that clients are ultimately responsible for knowing their benefits and settling balances based on how claims are processed. Clients are always advised to call/email their insurance companies to find out what their benefits are and to record a reference number in case there is any confusion in the future. We are not insurance experts!

​

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. 

Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions.

​

  • Do I have mental health benefits?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?

  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

  • Is approval, authorization or a referral required from my primary care physician?

  • Do I have mental health telehealth benefits? Is mental health telehealth benefits covered under my insurance?

​

Remember, we are here for you, however, all clients are ultimately responsible for payment in full. I can provide you with the necessary documentation to seek reimbursement from your insurance company if we are out-of-network.
