Tips from a Couples Therapist

 


If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your partner, it’s not always about the big arguments.
Sometimes, it’s the little things, or the lack of them, that start to add up.

Here’s what I’ve learned, as a couples therapist, about how small, intentional gestures can bring you closer:

  1. Write a love letter.
    It sounds old-fashioned, but nothing says “I care” like expressing your love in writing. It can completely shift how you connect emotionally.

  2. Plan an activity they’ve always wanted to try.
    You don’t have to do something extravagant, but trying something new together fosters connection and excitement.

  3. Cook their favorite meal.
    It’s the small gestures that show you’re paying attention and care about their happiness. Food can be a great way to show love.

  4. End the day with a relaxing massage.
    A moment of physical connection at the end of the day can melt away stress and deepen emotional intimacy.

These small, intentional acts can make a huge difference and remind you both of the love and care that brought you together in the first place.

New Parents Needing Support

Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. New parents , overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional. A  therapist or counselor  can help parents through difficult situations or behavioral concerns. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/

Teen Counseling

A HOPEFUL FUTURE FOR OUR TEENS WITH TEEN THERAPY Among the many changes that frequently occur during the teenage years, kids start to move away from their parents and gravitate far more to their peers for guidance. They desperately want to feel accepted and appreciated, and sometimes this leads to risky behavior like experimenting with drugs and alcohol, having unsafe sex, or getting into trouble with the law.
