Are You Struggling with Relationship Challenges in Your Marriage?
The Couples Counselors at Bareiter Help Couples and Families in the Charlotte Areas Improve Relationships
Both falling in love and getting married are stressful in their own ways. But you might say they represent the easy part. It’s maintaining a marriage and a relationship that can be difficult. Add children, financial struggles, working long hours, personal conflicts – simply learning how to navigate the ups and downs of life together can take a toll on any relationship.
Marriage counseling, or couples therapy, is a kind of counseling that specifically focuses on marriage and relationships. Marriage counselors, like the trained professionals at the Bareiter Counseling Center, help couples diagnose their problems and work on solutions. Marriage counseling is a safe place for couples to talk things out – to discuss what is really on their minds. The therapists at Bareiter Counseling Center in Charlotte can help you manage and overcome some of the difficulties that you may be experiencing in your relationship.
Meet the therapists at the Bareiter Counseling Center who specialize in treating relationship difficulties:
“Hi. I’m Carol and I enjoy helping individuals, couples or families who find themselves struggling in life and relationships. I feel that our working relationship is very important and strive to earn your trust and create a safe place to dive deeper. I love helping people connect the dots from the past to the present and explore their stories using evidence-based models of therapy. “
“Hi, I’m Sharon. I offer telehealth virtual counseling sessions to residents of any city or town within North Carolina (NC) and South Carolina (SC). I understand that making a decision to begin counseling can be an intimidating undertaking, so the option of being able to do so from your own personal space can make counseling more viable and comfortable. I strive to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental virtual space, and I value the relationship we will develop as an important element to the exploration, growth and/or healing that you desire.”
“I am currently pursuing certification through my training in Emotions Focused Therapy (EFT), and work with couples to build upon and restore their emotional connection. If your relationship is going through minor difficulties or even if it feels catastrophic, I can help you heal. I am also certified in premarital counseling, using the Prepare Enrich curriculum to help guide couples through conversations as they begin their marriage.”
One of the many ways Bareiter is different from other counseling centers is they offer depth-oriented perspectives and models of therapy that deal with the root causes. Your therapist will get a family history, examining what experiences may be the roots of triggers in the relationship, like conflicts that originated in childhood and taking a look at our parent’s relationship and how it may impact your current relationship. Working with the context of a family history can soften the blame and view of one another and hopefully lead to a deeper understanding and feelings of compassion.
Our desire at Bareiter Counseling Center in Charlotte is to instill hope that things can be better and walk with you through marriage counseling to help you heal, grow, and transform your relationship into a loving and deeply fulfilling connection.
Relationship counseling means you’re not alone. Most, if not all couples, go through challenges. Being in a relationship requires being intentional to stay healthy and connected. It is common to think that you will naturally grow together and somehow be resilient to life’s challenges. The problem with this belief is that when bumps in the road are encountered, you may not have the tools to work through them together. When couples feel thrown off by difficulties and are unable to deal with them, they may see their relationship as the problem. Couples often begin to feel hopeless and alone in their struggles.
Our couples therapists in Charlotte are committed to helping. You may feel your situation is hopeless. Our therapists have worked with couples in many different scenarios – trauma, infidelity, addiction, or volatility. There is hope for you. All it requires is your willingness to be open to a new perspective through marriage and couples counseling. Couples must look at their contribution to the struggles or negative cycle; take a stance of humility and get out of the cycle of blame. You can have a new vibrant marriage – it just requires your openness and commitment to the process. We are all on the same team – your relationship is the client – each therapist at Bareiter Counseling Center in Charlotte is committed to helping you have the best possible life together that you can.
