Couples will sometimes seek out professional therapy when they are having communication and trust issues in their relationship. It could be that one partner feels unfulfilled, or not listened to, maybe there is a family conflict, lack of sexual interaction, or a trauma that has caused the relationship to come apart. People will seek a therapist for a variety of reasons. Problems may stem from financial strain; adjusting to life with a new baby; a rebellious teenager; difficult in-laws; family dynamics; or any number of causes.
Many clients come to VWWC after years of having functioned with intense stress, anxiety, family conflict, or depression and they no longer want to manage it alone. Some will express their relationships are suffering, they’re more preoccupied, having a hard time focusing, have difficulty sleeping, wake up in the middle of the night, feel on edge and easily annoyed, and are experiencing physical pain from it all. They want to feel heard and connected to their partner. Sometimes when a couple has a baby, it can change the dynamic of the relationship. Whenever there is an issue in a relationship, oftentimes each partner comes out with their own subjective narrative about what is happening or going wrong.
Couples may enter therapy to improve communication, work through resentments or difficulties, or simply to understand each other better. Therapy can help couples to resolve ongoing and new problems, and even teach them the necessary skills to manage a crisis or conflict.

Another common trust issue arises when a person feels that their spousal partner is not having their side during a disagreement or interaction with another family member or friend. Life is full of unexpected and undesirable events (including losing a loved one). These events can leave people with overwhelming feelings of despair or depression. Some common couples therapy issues include dealing with:
