How Couples Therapy can Help you Reduce Conflict and Regain Intimacy
It’s natural that over time, many couples start to feel disconnected from one another. It may be the result of life changes (i.e. one of you starting a new career or a new baby is brought into the household), it may be a result of the relationship not going how you imagined it would when you first started dating or it may simply be that you and your partner have fallen out of sync.

Here at Solid Foundations Therapy, we strive to teach you how to recreate connection and improve your relationship.

No breakup is ever easy, but some breakups can make you feel like you’ve been sucker punched. And during those times, it can become sincerely difficult to see a way forward.
