Although, you wouldn’t guess so, it common that one person in a relationship wants counseling but believes “My partner would never agree to that.” Well, though it is helpful to have both partners come to counseling for any relationship. But it only takes one person to change the relationship or the marriage.
However, time and again a partner has been pleasantly surprised to discover that far from being helpless, he or she actually had the power to change the whole relationship just by changing his or her own actions and reactions. It’s also common for a reluctant partner to refuse to come at first but later to decide that he or she doesn’t want to be “left out” of the counseling.
You and your partner bring unique life experiences and perceptions to your relationship. Psychological counseling can help you find a way to grow together, communicate better, work through external challenges, and empower each other. African-centered cultural consulting at Onipa allows you to participate in sessions with the right tools to help you reach that level.
Everything starts with creating your plan. This is a unique plan you and Dr. Kambon will create together. African-centered cultural consulting can complete when you have worked through the plan and achieved your goals together. Schedule an appointment today to learn more.
