Many couples turn to therapy in times of distress and frustration during their marriage. Some couples who seek out a therapist have been married for years and have suddenly felt disconnected from their partner. Other couples may be recently married and having a hard time transitioning into their new relationship because there are more challenging than they expected. When couples decide to do couples therapy, they can expect to sit down with a trained therapist and create a safe place to discuss their issues.

In couples’ therapy, one important thing will happen,

You will understand your partner on a deeper level and the way they think. Many times in relationships, especially for those who have been together for many years, individuals will assume they know their partner well and assume they know exactly what they want; however, this is not always the case. Couples therapy allows you to re-meet your partner, and discover again their likes and dislikes.

Couples therapy works because it allows couples who may be going through many challenges and struggles the chance to communicate effectively with one another. If you are interested in starting couples’ therapy, or have any general questions, please contact us at 469-714-0006 or email info@exulthealthcare.com. We offer compassionate services for all ages and are committed to your emotional health.

There are more than 3 million US cases per year. As of right now Alzheimer’s has no cure, and can only be slowed by certain medications that a psychiatrist can prescribe. According to Alzheimer’s association common symptoms of Alzheimer’s:

• Frequent memory loss that affects everyday life.
• Difficulty organizing thoughts.
• Find it challenging to finish out ordinary tasks.
• Becoming confused when trying to remember what year or day of the week it is.

any things can feel as if they hold us back and keep us from having the life we really want to lead. Whether it is depression, weight issues, addiction, anxiety, marital struggles, or other personal challenges they can feel and be burdensome.

But when we make a decision inside our own minds of “enough is enough” we begin breaking free. That decision is the beginning of a process. Often there are moments of real joy and a sense of victory, often there are moments of struggle and frustration. But by standing with our decision that enough is enough and refusing to give up, we re-affirm that we have the right to be free and the will to achieve it.

Just as our forefathers reached out for help from others to gain the final victory, so too can you seek the support you need to reach your goals.

Exult Behavioral Healthcare is here to help. We love assisting our patients to make the positive changes that help bring about the lives they truly want to live. No feeling is better than reaching a personal goal and in retrospect being able to say to oneself “I did it!”
