Relationships require investment and effort. Sometimes it can feel like no matter how we try we just can’t seem to “make things work” when relating to each other.
Relationships and families are at their best when they provide a space to find support, encouragement, and acceptance. But there are times when conflict and miscommunication within relationships and/or at home feel more like a place of rejection and exhaustion.
At Santiam Counseling Center we understand that often the last thing you want to do is invite someone you don’t know well into your relationship or family struggles. Our goal is to provide a space where there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ relationship partner and no family member ‘winners’ or ‘losers’ in the process of healing.
Our couples and family counseling services are intended for when you need help sorting through the confusion and frustration of not being able to make relationships “work.” Couples and family counseling focuses on helping you gain skills for understanding and supporting your loved ones, and learning to express your need for support and receive support from others.
Each of our counselors is trained to work with the general needs of couples and families, but each also has specific areas of emphasis that may fit your specific concerns. For more information on these specialty areas, please see the “About Us” page.
