Orlando Couple’s Counseling | Can Your Relationship be Saved?

At GroundWork Counseling in Orlando, many individuals seek counseling and therapy for relationship issues. Some people find themselves in dead-end relationships that they are unable to end – Orlando couples’s counseling at GroundWork can help individuals weigh their options and explore relationship dynamics. For couples, there are often many things to take into consideration:  kids, housing, pets, family relationships, your history together and a fear of being alone, fear of failing at something, fear of being judged negatively.  Our counselors emphasize, it’s important to keep in mind that your relationship should add to the quality of your life, not subtract from it.

You may have reached a point in your relationship that finds you seriously debating whether the two of you should stay together or split apart. Whether you are a couple that is married, living together, engaged or dating, whether the you are in a gay or straight relationship, the thought of making a decision can be complicated and difficult for women.  This painful ambivalence sometimes leads to inaction in which neither partner makes an effort to turn the relationship around and neither partner has the strength to leave a relationship that has virtually no chance of surviving. If you are a woman asking yourself the above questions, women’s counseling may be a helpful next step.

High-Risk Signs To Take Into Consideration
