Relationships come in all shapes and forms. People bring us joy & heartache, excitement & anxiety.  Connections with other people can be the Best Part of Life. Or bring us the most pain.  Or both.

We can feel alone despite having people or we can feel bad about ourselves because we don’t have the people we want, the people we need, or the people we think we should have.

Do you want more of these life-sustaining gifts of relationships:

  • Joy in your moments of celebration
  • Comfort in your moments of struggle
  • Loving humor
  • Encouragement
  • Recognition of your strengths
  • Acceptance of your humanity
  • Gentle feedback
  • Play, exploration, and fun
  • Respect of your time, money, resources

You can make that happen with Quality Counseling of New England’s relationship counseling.  We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and our experience helping thousands of people like you to get you to your goals.

Are any of these relationship pains dragging you down:

  • Fear (of them, of their rejection of you, being a bad daughter/partner/friend)
  • Gaslighting (manipulation)
  • Attacks on you
  • Expectations that their needs come first or that yours don’t matter
  • Decreased self esteem
  • Avoidance (of them, of others)
  • Conflict
  • Tension (or stress)
  • Learned hopelessness-(feeling so defeated you have given up)?

 

Quality Counseling of New England LLC is ready to help you flip the script with relationship counseling.  Make your relationships a source of your empowerment instead of a drain on your energy and your confidence.

What's family supposed to act like anyway?

What are your assumptions about what it means to be a good mother, a loving father, and a grateful child?

What it means to your neighbor might be different than what it means to you.  And different still from what it means to your sister or your grandmother.  Our expectations for the obligations we have towards each other shape our views on what we should be doing and what we think we deserve in our family relationships.  These expectations guide our actions and help us evaluate the way other people treat us.

If you get happy, positive feelings about how a family member treated you, maybe it was because it was in-line with how you like to be shown love.

If you get angry or sad about an interaction, could it be because someone let you down or didn’t treat you right?

Noticing your own thoughts and feelings is a great place to start exploring your family relationships and Quality Counseling of New England LLC is here to help you do that with relationship counseling.

“Is it me?” So often, we think, we’re the one that is doing relationships all wrong but we want you to know that: each family member has their own expectations and it is natural for conflict to arise when expectations don’t fit together perfectly.

We can help you navigate the sea of expectations to live in better harmony with your family or to let go of pressures that don’t serve you.

Relationship Counseling

why is dating so hard? Why does it take so long? is it me?

Meeting someone new becomes a different experience if you are actively looking for a dating partner.  

Whether you are seeking a long-term relationship or shorter romance: searching, meeting, and maintaining connection can be challenging. Want some help? Quality Counseling of New England LLC is here for it. We’ve got the dating guidance you need.

You need hope to keep putting yourself out there, hope that your investment of your time and energy will be worthwhile.  That hope comes from a belief that there are people you are compatible with and that you have something to offer them.

Feeling like you aren’t getting anywhere can lead you to feel hopeless about the situation and to doubt yourself.  If you’re asking “Why can’t I find someone?” chances our expert therapist, April Lau, LMHC, can help you tweak your approach or refresh your hope so that you can tap into the joy of meeting new people.
