Getting Support in Marriage Counseling

Taking the step towards relationship support, marriage counseling, and couples therapy and receiving support outside of your own personal circle is exactly what you and your partner(s) deserve.

Most things can be improved, changed, and bettered, with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With the help of a relationship, marriage, and couples therapist in North Carolina, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, and get what you want out of your relationship.

At Be BOLD Psychology and Counseling we love helping clients get “unstuck,” and learn tools to stop having those same, draining arguments over and over again. We help people to work with, and no longer against, each other towards a solution that works for everyone involved.

Additionally, we hold space to be able to dig in, once and for all, to any stuck points or problem areas that may have been festering for a while. But we will help everyone involved to do it in a way where they feel seen, heard, and respected.

Love and relationships are so intimately connected to our life satisfaction and mental and physical wellness. If an intimate relationship is troubled or you are feeling disconnected from your partner(s), it can limit your ability to progress and achieve wellness.
