Individual Therapy for Relationship Issues in Los Angeles, CA
Connect more deeply and authentically in your relationships.
Are you dealing with relationship issues? Issues that are making you question yourself or if you’re cut out for a relationship? Do you see the same issues popping up in all of your relationships and wonder if it's you?
What if working on your relationship problems could actually bring you and your partner closer together?
Maybe you're feeling unappreciated, misunderstood, lonely, resentful, frustrated, or just angry in your relationships. You might be avoiding feeling vulnerable or even avoiding intimacy. You may feel you can’t trust that your partner truly cares for you or feel anxious about the relationship. You know that all relationships have their ups and downs. But these problems feel different.
If you want your relationships to be more satisfying, something's got to give.
How are you showing up in relationships?
We are all relational people. We exist within relationships from the beginning of our lives. Relationships with our parents, with our siblings, with our friends, and community. As we age, our relationships begin to include relationships with our partners and their families, friends, and communities. Eventually, we may create our own families by having children or creating a ‘chosen family.’
Individual therapy for relationship issues is a great way to improve the dynamic in your relationships, even when the other person is not present. Through individual relationship therapy at Flourishment Psychology, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the other person, which can help improve the balance and health of your relationship. It's about shifting the dynamic to create a more positive and fulfilling connection—especially with the important people in your life.
Individual therapy for relationship issues can focus on difficulties in relationships with a spouse, a partner, or aspects of dating. Relationship counseling can also focus on your relationship with family members such as a parent, a sibling, a child or an adult child, or even in-laws.

How Your Attachment Style Impacts Your Relationships
One important aspect that informs all of our relationships is our attachment style. Your attachment style it's created early in life and based on your relationship with your parents as a young child. Our parents give us messages about our okay-ness and worthiness. We embody these messages as templates for relating to the world and others.
As you grow older, your attachment style informs how you show up in relationships, especially with romantic partners. In a secure attachment style, you know that you are OK regardless. In an anxious attachment style, you look to others for reassurance that you are OK. You may violate your own boundaries or values to meet other people's needs and place them over your own. In an avoidant attachment style, you might not trust that others can meet your needs. This leads you to avoid being vulnerable in relationships and relying only on yourself to meet your needs.
Therapy for relationship issues can help you understand your attachment style as well as how it impacts how you show up in your relationships. With good attachment-based therapy, you can actually shift yourself to a more secure way of relating to yourself and others.
If you're experiencing issues in your relationships, seeking relationship counseling can be a helpful option. It’s a chance to take a closer look at yourself and explore how you are showing up in your relationships. It’s natural to want to blame others or outside circumstances for our relationship issues. But it’s important to recognize how your own beliefs and experiences may be contributing, particularly to the problems in your relationships.
With the help of a relationship specialist, you can gain insight into patterns and beliefs that you were unaware of and learn new ways to communicate and connect with others. Additionally, therapy can help you process any past issues, trauma, or anything that may be impacting your current relationships. Ultimately, individual therapy can lead to increased self-awareness, better emotional regulation, and more fulfilling relationships.
