While we do not work with families or couples, our therapists are well trained in supporting individuals to improve their interpersonal relationships. We are all part of relationships (family, romantic, professional, and parent-child) and unhealthy patterns can really impact our daily lives. Let us help you to develop clarity and strategies for engaging in a healthy way.
Boundaries
Boundaries is the strcture that allows predictability. Sometimes, when there is a lack of boundaries, we may find ourselves unsure of how to respond to a situation, or may find ourselves in a situation, that ultimately leads to conseuqnces or strong emotional response. Understanding our boundaries and establishing them, can support the envionment for a healthy relationship to grow.
Serial Arguments
Have you noticed an increase in frequency of how much you argue? One of the most common interpersonal barriers is communication. Noticing how the arguments do not lead to a healthy resolution may suggest a need for change in perspectives. By understanding what are needs are and how to communicate them, we can increase the benefits of the relationship and promote growth.
We Are Here For You
Scheduling Your First Appointment
Request An Appointment
When you are ready to engage in therapy or begin exploring the option, complete the "Request An Appointment" form so that one of our staff members can assist you with any questions you may have and match you with a therapist.
Complete Paperwork
After you are contacted by the Breathing Space Psychotherapy staff member, there will be some paperwork that is necessary to complete prior to the first session with your therapist.
Connect With Your Therapist
Once all of your questions are answered and you were explained how you will connect with your therapist, you will be ready to connect with your therapist. By this point, depending on how you choose to receive therapy, whether it's via video or in-person, you will have the date and time to plan for the appointment.
Your First Session
If you do not have prior experience with therapy, we want to reassure you that there are no expectations. Your first session will serve to ensure that you are comfortable with your therapist and that any questions or concerns are addressed. Join the session just as you are and allow our person-centered therapists to support you.
Tele-Health
We are adjusting to the difficult circumstances of COVID-19 by improving our ability to connect with you via virtual means. For the time being, we are primarily providing psychotherapy by video sessions. To our surprise, telehealth has, in many ways, increased the benefits of psychotherapy by offering flexibility and safety. Our clients tell us they feel a sense of relief due to the comfort of their own environment. The Breathing Space Psychotherapy team is highly motivated to continue expanding and increasing the potential benefits of telehealth services. We welcome you to your first session.
