intercultural couples

You knew that dating someone outside of your race, religion, or culture would be hard, but you didn’t think it would be this hard. The differences that drew you together seem like they are the sources of strife and conflict now. You sometimes quietly grieve what it might have been like if you were with someone who understood your background more.

You have different communication styles and different needs for connection. You try and talk through disagreements but you can’t seem to find a common language. You disagree about how to allocate time with family and to each other. You argue about how to raise the kids and what’s most important. Sometimes it feels like you can’t see eye to eye about anything.

No matter what you’re fighting about, you don’t seem to have the tools for getting to a place of true understanding. You deeply care about one another but in these moments, it feels so hard to access anything other than hurt, anger, and hopelessness.

The differences that drew you together seem to be pulling you farther and farther apart. You know you need to try something different but you don’t know what, and you’re afraid to try. What if you try and it doesn’t work out?

What if you try and it does?

Couples spend an average of six years trying to work out their issues on their own before seeking support. Don’t keep waiting. Couples therapy provides you with a roadmap for reconnection and effective communication.

Your therapist can identify patterns that are invisible to you but impacting how you relate to one another. Changing the choreography can change the whole dance and the entire experience. Navigating the unique cultural clashes, we can help you create a collective mosaic that honors your unique differences and represents a unified whole.

You were courageous in choosing one another. Tap into that courage and choose one another again.
