In our latest blog, we explore three unexpected expressions of low self esteem in young adults and why these behaviors are often signals of deeper emotional pain rather than personality traits.

Understanding the signs can help parents, partners, and young adults recognize when extra support may be needed and when therapy could make a meaningful difference.

If you and your partner feel stuck in cycles of frustration or misunderstanding, learning how to communicate needs without blame can change everything.

Letting Go of Contempt: 2 Strategies to Strengthen Your Marriage

Contempt is one of the most damaging patterns in a relationship. Research shows it is a strong predictor of marital distress and divorce. Eye-rolling, sarcasm, mockery, and ongoing criticism slowly erode trust, safety, and connection.

The good news is that contempt can be addressed.

In our latest blog, we explore two proven strategies that help couples rebuild respect and emotional closeness:
• Learning assertive communication instead of blame
• Creating a culture of appreciation and admiration

Marriage counseling can help couples identify harmful patterns and replace them with healthier ways of communicating and connecting.
