What is a good age to start dating?

We received the question about identifying "what is a good age to start dating?"
Dating starts in adolescence. The desire for others is built then so having the time to explore dating begins as early as middle school.
Dating is also dependent on maturity-can your child activate maturity in ways of how they handle their emotions, and how they interact interpersonally with others?
Each family makes their own decision around dating dynamics and behaviors with their children. We do believe the conversation around dating and interpersonal dynamics needs to be happening between parents and their kids. Teens learn what boundaries are, what is healthy and unhealthy in relationships, and what safe a...

Couples Therapy Success: The Key to Progress Lies Beyond the Sessions

Просмотров 1521 день назад

Why do many couples end up working with multiple therapists in their relationship history? I often hear it is because the therapist was not the right fit. My hot take is that it is not always because the therapist is not the right fit. I think it can be more often that the couple is not applying what they learn outside of the session OR they are not learning what they need to change their dynam...

It is 100% your decision whether you stay in a relationship or not; not your therapist's. If your therapist has said they think you should leave your partner, that is not their role. You have the right to bring this to your therapist and help them learn how they can best support your therapy work with them. You can put boundaries in your therapy work with your therapist. You can also decide whe...

Your partner gets to f...

Change Takes Time

Месяц назад

Many couples come to therapy ready to change their relationship and do not always realize what is required to make that change a reality. Change requires effort, action, and time. Our practice focuses on creating realistic and sustainable change for the couple. Sometimes we change, but it doesn't last and we do not want that to happen if you come to counseling.

Your Words Hold Power

Просмотров 43 месяца назад

What we say to ourselves is incredibly powerful. How we label ourselves is incredibly powerful. The same applies to our relationships. We often think that our experience and perception are the truth when truly truth is factual. Experience and perception are not truth as it is subjective. Truth is objective. The words, labels, thoughts, and feelings we have are not truth, they are perceptions an...
