Dating Therapy in LA
​Something that has changed significantly since I started providing therapy more than a decade ago is the kind of couples that enter my office seeking help for their relationship. What we’re seeing more of as therapists are couples who are dating or engaged seeking professional guidance to improve their relationship. What gets me most excited about this shift is providing dating therapy to start a young relationship on the path to success before negative patterns are created and established. Counseling for a dating or engaged couple provides the opportunity to establish healthy habits and behaviors. When providing dating therapy, we can practice positive communication, conflict resolution and emotional attachment that will help a relationship long term. With dating therapy, we’re providing tools, skills and scaffolding to help prevent or work through problems in a healthy way in order to prevent the corrosion that can come from resentment or unhealthy habits.
 
Another approach our therapy practice takes in helping clients is by providing individual therapy focused on their dating concerns. Our therapists work with people who are struggling to find fulfilling relationships as well as helping those who need guidance in their existing relationships. Dating therapy can be an excellent resource to those seeking support and skills to help make their relationships healthy and successful.  

We love working with individuals and couples at every stage of their relationship. If you are curious about dating therapy and would like to learn how a Marriage and Family Therapist can help, please contact us to start a conversation!
