Relationship Therapy
Does going to therapy mean there's something wrong with our relationship? Are we doomed to fail? At ECC, we believe that pursuing relationship therapy is actually a really good sign: it means that you're invested in the health of the relationship. It means you’re willing to put in work, make yourself vulnerable, have tough conversations, and grow together so that your relationship has a better chance at surviving, maybe even thriving.
There are all sorts of reasons partners might choose to seek couples therapy or relationship therapy, from lack of intimacy, to recurring conflict, big life transitions, shared trauma like a death in the family, and broken trust. Relationship therapy can significantly increase intimacy, satisfaction, and provide an opportunity to repair wounds.
It is also healthy and normal to go to therapy together when your relationship seems fine! Relationship therapy is a great place to prioritize healthy communication and process life's ups and downs together.
Whatever your reasons for seeking relationship therapy, ECC therapists are here to help. Together with your therapist, you and your partner(s) will explore things like attachment, communication styles, emotional patterns, and more, to understand each other better and find a path forward that honors both of your needs.
We support all types of romantic relationships—straight, LGBTQIA+, monogamous, polyamorous, partnered, married, divorced—as well as individuals who are single, healing from heartbreak or loss of a partner, or recovering from intimate partner violence or betrayal.
