Therapists Who Can Help with Relationships
Why do relationships have to be so difficult? It is very normal and human to experience highs & lows in any relationship, however "pain is inevitable, suffering optional".
Do I need a therapist?
There is significant pressure today to act like all of your relationships are “amazing!” or to tell others, and ourselves, “I’ve got this covered, no problem”. However, pushing our real feelings about our relationships down can have many harmful consequences: emotional, behavioral, and even physical.
The root causes of relationship problems are often highly complex, more so than they may appear. An experienced therapist can provide the tools to cope with immediate issues, as well as longer-term healing and growth.

Will I see results from Therapy?
The main driver of outcomes in therapy:
There is a significant amount of scientific research literature to support the importance of the therapist and the therapist-client relationship as the primary drivers of success. There are over 400 therapeutic techniques in clinical psychology, however what drives client outcomes is the quality and skill of the clinician, irrespective of the therapeutic tradition they come from. In other words, what matters is a great therapist and a personal connection between client and therapist.
