Relationship Loss

Divorce, Death, or Breakup.

No matter what happened, losing relationship can leave a big hole. No one really prepares us, so we just do whatever comes naturally. Keep busy, keep moving, pretend, be strong.

It's time to get support if you're on edge, it's hard to concentrate, sleep isn't great, or you can't seem to stop thinking about all the things you should have done differently. Maybe you can't seem to stop being so angry. Or sad.

Frequently Asked Questions

You don't have to be at the absolute end of your rope to reach out for help. That said, today is better than yesterday. Now is better than waiting. Some people naturally respond well to counseling. Others take more time. And that makes sense. After all, you're considering trusting a stranger with some of your hardest stuff. Counseling at the National Institute for Healthy Relationships is specialized to help you handle whatever relationship challenge you're facing. Book a free 20-minute consult call and let us share exactly how we can help.

Absolutely. It's very common for one person in a relationship to be more willing to get support. Before you think the worst, remember, some people really are a better fit for therapy. Just because your partner doesn't want to come in, that's no indication of their level of commitment to the relationship or their care for you. The great news is that you can permanently shift the relationship. Not because it's all your fault. You just happen to be the smart, willing one.

Counseling here is so much more than talking about your problems or working on conflict resolution. The methods you'll use are results-driven and specific to you and your situation. We'll move beyond the story, beyond the why and how you got here and into the real solution. We'll address the part of you that can't or won't use helpful skills in the moment. If you stay curious about yourself and you're willing to practice the methods, you will get the change you're hoping for. Don't worry, you set the pace. The best thing: all the knowledge, insight, and growth is yours to keep. 

National Institute for Healthy Relationships will book what's called an "Initial Assessment" for the first session. Our aim is for you to feel a sense of relief having found someone who can help. It's not magic, but you should walk out of that session with at least one significant, helpful insight. Your counselor is looking to get to know you and get a sense of what really matters to you. They'll ask what you hope to achieve with therapy. That's because your therapist is working with you to get you where you want to go. 

Click ANY of the BOOK NOW buttons and you'll go to the online booking portal. There you can choose between spending 20 minutes on a free consult call OR booking that first session.

If you select the call, ask anything you like. Tell us what you're experiencing and we'll let you know exactly how we can help. You'll get solid answers that will help you decide if work together at the National Institute for Healthy Relationships is your next step.

If you book that first session, we'll be excited to meet you via the telehealth link. You'll get all of your paperwork and submit information via a secure, confidential portal. It's straightforward. Jump in! Let's get you some relief.
