People develop certain relationship and coping skills during childhood and adolescence that are the result of circumstances at that given time. Sometimes these skills are necessary to have needs met, to feel cared for, and in some cases, to physically and/or emotionally survive. Unfortunately, these skills typically become less effective as you become an adult and may be causing problems in your adult relationships around maintaining trust, communication, resolving conflict, boundaries, intimacy and maintaining a sense of self while in relationship.
You may desire a meaningful relationship but can’t seem to find it or the right one, or the opposite, and you can’t seem to commit or “settle down.” Or perhaps, you struggle to communicate, to be intimate, or resolve conflict. You may experience anxiety when in relationships that leads you to stop relationships before they can start.
In any of these cases, relationship therapy can help. At Center for Shared Insight, our Denver relationship therapists help you understand what is no longer working, how it impacts you, and how to change these patterns to enhance your relationships, especially the one with yourself. We offer relationship therapy focused on personal development, as well as love addiction, divorce, dating, and marriage.

Many people believe that therapy is not for them because they’ve been told that entering therapy means they are “weak” or “going crazy.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Having the courage to ask for help during a time of need is a source of strength and a sign of health. Therapy helps people with all kinds of concerns, from mild, everyday concerns to more serious emotional and behavioral issues.
