Couples Counseling, Marriage counseling

Couples counseling and marriage counseling is for any couple, dating, living together or married, that is not experiencing the type of relationship that they long to have. It may be that you are arguing more than you used to, or that your arguments feel repetitive, or you notice that you and your significant other have become more like “roommates” instead of lovers. Couples often describe trouble with communication, loss of trust or family issues as reasons for coming to therapy. Couples counseling and marriage counseling can help you repair, restore and even improve your relationship.

“Why therapy?” and “why now?” And then the Counselor will listen to each of you as you talk about your hopes and dreams for coming to marriage counseling or couples counseling, as well as your frustrations with where you are right now. We will set goals together, and future sessions should feel like we are working towards the goals you have set. Star Point Counseling Center has helped countless couples fix their relationship through marriage counseling and couples counseling.

Anxiety/Depression Counseling

Depression and anxiety also share an essential psychological component — namely, pushing people away from living in the present moment. Individuals with anxiety are continuously worried about the future, while people with depression are often focused on what has happened in the past.

People dealing with depression ask a lot of “why” questions of themselves, such as “Why did I … ?” People struggling with anxiety, on the other hand, tend to use statements indicative of fear of future events, such as “I’m really worried about what’s going to happen with …”

Depression

Depression is a condition in which a person feels sad, hopeless, unmotivated, or disinterested in life in general. Most people feel anxious or depressed at times, but when these feelings last for more than two weeks or interfere with daily activities such as taking care of family or going to work or school, it is considered a major depressive episode.

About 12 percent of women experience depression compared to 6 percent of men, making women twice as likely to be affected. At any point in time, 3 to 5 percent of people suffer from major depression.

Signs & Symptoms

• Depressed mood
• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities they used to enjoy
• Feelings of guilt, hopelessness and worthlessness
• Sleep disturbance (sleeping more or sleeping less)
• Appetite and weight changes
• Difficulty concentrating
• Lack of energy and fatigue
• Suicidal thoughts or recurrent thoughts of death

Women suffering from depression often turn to alcohol abuse years after the onset of depression. Men are more likely to internalize or ignore their emotions, and can start unhealthy practices to cope with these feelings. These unhealthy coping methods can lead to mental health disorders and even suicide.

The good news is that even the most severe cases of depression can be treated. The earlier treatment begins the more effective it is. Treatment typically involves medications, therapy or a combination of the two. Couples counseling/Marriage Counseling can help you manage your feelings and cope with your depression.

Counseling for Couples

As in marital relationships, unmarried couples can experience an endless cycle of arguments, with even the smallest thing leading to a prolonged battle of who is right and who is wrong.  Sometimes, it is difficult to understand why such things are happening in your relationship despite the fact that you started it right. Where did the intimacy go?  Why do our differences seem so irresolvable? In couples counseling, we can help you make sense out of what is happening between you and help you restore the emotional connection you are both longing for.
