Relationship Therapy

Therapy for Relationship Issues

Relationships require work and over time will inevitably face challenges large and small. Everyday stressors can put strain on any relationship, particularly intimate relationships. When major sources of stress arise, the stability of the relationship can become vulnerable. When each participant in a relationship is willing to address the issue at hand and participate in developing a solution, most relationship problems are manageable. But, when challenges are left unaddressed, tension can increase, poor responses develop and the health and longevity of the relationship are in jeopardy.

Therapy for codependency

Codependency often appears in relationships which are unbalanced and unhealthy. A person with codependency often tries to save others from themselves. They may get hurt trying to “cure” a partner’s addictions or abusive behaviors. Codependency does not qualify as a mental health diagnosis, mostly because the symptoms are so widely applicable. Yet it can still cause severe distress. Codependency may lead a person to develop other mental health concerns such as anxiety. Dr. Holland works to help clients reduce codependent behaviors and develop healthier relationships.

Therapy for couples and those in non-conforming relationships

LBGTQ ++Affirming - Dr. Holland works closely with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies. She understands firsthand what it is like to live with a difference that centers around who we are in our bodies. It is important for those who are transgender, gender expansive, or nonconforming to have a safe space to explore, understand and affirm gender and/or sexual identity and expression, which for some can feel like a continually evolving process.

Whether you are having difficulty with a partner, business associate, family member, neighbor or acquaintance, Dr. Holland’s comprehensive therapy program will provide you with the tools you need to reshape and redefine your relationship. Over the course of your sessions with Dr. Holland you will learn alternatives to destructive communication patterns that will help you to build a harmonious, thriving rapport of love and respect.
