Relationship Counseling in Los Angeles
On the other hand, perhaps you are an introverted person or someone who suffers from social anxiety. Even though you want to connect with others and experience intimacy, it’s difficult for you to do so. This is where relationship counseling comes in. The truth is that building and maintaining a relationship isn’t easy. It’s increasingly common in our society for breakups and divorces to happen. Many people continue to be single in late adulthood.
The older you get, the more baggage you collect over years of failed relationships. Dating is even more difficult the older you get. Especially if you have children and/or are recovering from a divorce after a long relationship.

FAQ About Relationship Counseling
- Is therapy time-consuming and expensive? It's a good idea to think of therapy as investing in yourself. Finding happiness and feeling positive about yourself is an important part of life satisfaction. The stress and frustration caused by failed relationships can negatively affect every part of your life
- Can relationship counseling help people find a partner? People often think of starting a relationship in terms of finding someone. However, the truth is when you work on yourself and your own issues, you will very often draw someone to you rather than having to go search through dating sites. Finding someone to love starts with loving yourself and building your levels of self-esteem and self-confidence. Your therapist can help you navigate these waters successfully.

It's not unusual for people to feel defeated, discouraged and cynical about relationships after they've been through a few failed ones.
