A Better Approach To Life

It’s vital that you find someone you trust. Our counselors go beyond the call of duty to form a bond between them and their client.

At Innovative Family Therapy in Louisville, KY, we have multiple therapists that are licensed in different areas of counseling. That way, you and your family can receive help in one building versus traveling to different offices.

Our therapists look at everything from a family perspective. We assess the situation as it pertains to the dynamic of the entire family instead of just a single person. We even allow multiple therapists to work with a single family.

For some, sitting in a therapist’s office might make them uncomfortable. That’s why we offer teletherapy so our clients can have the option of in-person or video sessions – whatever makes them feel at ease.

Sometimes when you call a therapist’s office, you get put on a waitlist to see someone. We employ enough therapists to make sure our clients never get put on a waitlist.

What Is Couples Counseling?

Similar to getting the oil changed in your car or upgrading your tires in the winter – your relationship requires attention and maintenance to keep it running well. Sometimes we can do small maintenance ourselves like going for a date night or making time for one another. Other times, it requires a professional to look at what the deeper problem might be. This is where any type of person or couple can benefit from couples therapy.

Signs That You Need Couples Counseling

Social media seems to be an ongoing highlight reel of the ideal relationship. Couples’ challenges on Tic Tok, Insta-hubbies doting on their influencer wives, and catching the picture-perfect pose for Facebook is everywhere. But in reality, most couples struggle in at least a few areas. Here are a few signs that you may find comfort in guidance from couples therapy.

  • You’re having the same argument: If you feel like your relationship is a broken record stuck on repeat, it needs fixing. An objective third party can bring fresh eyes and a different perspective to get you out of that rut.
  • You’re looking outside your relationship: If you notice you’re looking outside of your marriage to find fulfillment, happiness, or attention – it’s likely a sign that there’s a problem within the relationship that should be addressed.
  • You’re avoiding sex: Intimacy is one of the easiest ways to take the temperature of your relationship. If you find yourself avoiding connection, sleeping in another room, or faking a headache (again), it might be time to call for a little help.
  • You don’t feel like you in your relationship: Perhaps you feel like you’re playing a part or fulfilling a role that isn’t authentic to who you really are. This often plays out over time and can be difficult to pinpoint. But if you suddenly feel like you aren’t yourself, you can choose to speak to a counselor alone or arrange couples therapy to discover what is happening beneath the surface.Try couples therapy in Louisville, KY to heal emotional problems.
  • You feel lonely: Do you feel like you’re alone, unseen, lacking affection or like you have no voice in the relationship? It’s important to bring these feelings to the attention of your partner, which can be easier to do with the support of a couples therapist.
  • You or your partner have an affair: The aftermath of infidelity is extremely painful for both parties and should not be navigated without the help of a professional therapist.
  • Lack of trust: Mismanaged money, pornography use, gambling addiction, unending lies, or emotional affairs can all create a lack of trust in the relationship. Rebuilding this foundation is definitely a job for a professional so both parties can feel supported and heard.
  • Poor communication: This is one of the most common patterns we see with couples in Louisville KY, and it can be one of the most difficult things to fix on your own. Your communication patterns are strongly ingrained into the dynamics of your relationship from day one. A therapist can help to create new patterns and provide tools to help you connect, hear, and understand one another better.
  • Something feels wrong: Trust your gut when it comes to your relationships. If you feel off but you’re not sure what or why, a couple’s therapist can often help to pinpoint the problem that you’ve been unable to define.
  • You have a secret: If there is something you want your partner to know, but you’ve been unable to tell them, having the support of a therapist can help you to show your partner what you’ve been hiding in a safe environment.
  • You want to have a healthy relationship: One of the best reasons to enlist a therapist from Innovative Family Therapy in Louisville, KY is simply because you want to have a healthy relationship. Even if you’re on a good path and things seem to be smooth sailing, checking in with a therapist can only strengthen your bond as a couple.
  • Jealousy is becoming an issue: If you can’t go out with the girlfriends, or he can’t go to lunch with coworkers due to jealousy – it might be time to call for guidance. Jealousy is usually a sign of insecurity that can lead to anger, rage, or resentment. If you don’t discuss jealousy head on, it will likely get worse over time.
