Relationship Counseling Services at CDCW

At the Counseling and Diagnostic Center of Woodfield (CDCW), our clinicians possess advanced training and extensive experience in working with couples and addressing a wide range of relationship challenges. We offer specialized services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals and couples at various stages of their relationships. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, with a commitment to fostering emotional well-being and healthy interpersonal dynamics.

Marital Therapy

Marital therapy is one of the most commonly sought forms of relationship counseling. Couples often seek help for concerns such as communication breakdowns, infidelity, sexual dissatisfaction, differing parenting styles, challenges with extended family (e.g., in-laws, illness), and the gradual erosion of emotional investment in the marriage.

In most cases, couples are seen together; however, individual sessions may also be incorporated to gain deeper insight and assess the relationship dynamics. When appropriate, individual therapy for one or both partners may be recommended. At CDCW, we recognize that emotionally healthy individuals are more likely to foster and sustain fulfilling partnerships.
Counseling for Dating and Cohabitating Couples

For couples who are dating or living together, relational difficulties may stem from issues such as commitment concerns, differing life goals (e.g., marriage, children), communication problems, infidelity, or the fading of initial emotional connection.
Our clinicians are skilled in helping partners identify and address these challenges, with the goal of strengthening the relationship. In some instances, the focus may shift to exploring whether it is healthier for the couple to continue together or part ways with clarity and support.

Pre-Marital Counseling

Entering into marriage is a significant life decision that benefits from thoughtful preparation. Pre-marital counseling provides couples with the tools to navigate potential future difficulties by identifying areas of growth, improving communication, and setting realistic expectations.
At CDCW, our therapists guide couples through meaningful conversations about topics such as values, conflict resolution, family planning, and long-term goals. This proactive approach can help prevent misunderstandings and foster a strong, resilient foundation for marriage.
