Couples Therapy in Westchester, NY

Relationships can change, even if you don't see how. Let us help you.

Are you feeling stuck in your relationship? Are you struggling to understand your partner’s experience?

Conflict is not an indicator as to whether a relationship will or won't survive. How you repair is more an indicator as to how you will do. Conflict is inevitable. Let’s work on how we repair. Let Lotus Psychotherapy help you navigate these challenges and find your way back to one another.

Recognize the signs: Is your relationship in need of support?

In many relationships, avoiding issues or each other can become a pattern. Learning how to approach these issues rather than avoid them is crucial. It's important to recognize what can actually be changed and how to accept what can't. Understanding the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can help us appreciate one another more deeply. Breaking negative patterns and improving communication are key steps towards a healthier relationship. Even when bumps arise, navigating them together can strengthen your bond.

Here are some signs and symptoms that may indicate it's time to seek support:

  • Do you feel stuck in your relationship?

  • Do you struggle to understand what your partner’s experience is?

  • Are you not showing up as the partner you once were or want to be?

  • Are you avoiding issues (or one another)?

  • Are you not feeling seen/heard in your relationship?

  • Do you sometimes feel that your partner is not your friend?

  • Are you finding yourself coming up with excuses in the relationship?

  • Are you shut down in your relationship? Do you feel as though you cannot be yourself?

  • Are you stuck in a negative loop/cycle/pattern in your relationship?

  • Do you find that you are lacking the fun or joy you once had?

  • Are you looking to rebuild trust in your relationship?

  • Are you leaning out or leaning in?

  • Are there childhood wounds resurfacing in your relationship?
