How Can Counseling Help You Get Into a Good Relationship?

In general, counseling can help you save time, energy, and difficulty when looking for a relationship.  Counseling can help you:

• Find ways to meet potentially good partners.
• Understand what you are looking for in a relationship.
• Identify potential partners who will work out well for you. i.e. “fit you.”
• Identify potential partners who are ready for a commitment if that is what you are looking for.
• Identify red flag issues in relationships sooner thus avoiding
  relationships which will not work out for you.

The next step: relationship maintenance.  Counseling can help you:

• Understand how you relate to other people.
• Identify issues which may be interfering with your ability to develop
  closeness.
• Build your self-esteem so that you are more willing to take emotional
  risks.
• Resolve conflict without hurting the relationship.
• Learn how to maintain a successful relationship.
