Therapy for Family and Friendship Struggles in Greenville, SC

Untangling Complicated Relationships and Finding Peace

Sometimes the hardest parts of life aren't the big events-it's the complicated relationships you have with the people you're supposed to feel closest to. 

Maybe it's a family relationship that leaves you feeling guilty, unheard, or like you can never do enough. Maybe you're stuck in old roles or patterns that keep pulling you back in, even when you try to set boundaries. 

Or maybe it's a friendship that's gone sideways-an unexpected fallout, growing distance, or confusing tension that's left you second-guessing everything. Friendships that once felt easy now feel complicated, painful, or like they're slipping away-and you're not sure what to do next. 

If you're carrying the weight of family drama, broken trust, or friendship struggles, therapy can help you make sense of it all.

Why These Relationships Feel So Heavy

Family and friendships are supposed to feel safe, but when communication breaks down or boundaries are unclear, they can become a source of stress, confusion, and heartache. You might be experiencing:

• Feeling stuck in old family roles you don't want anymore
• Guilt or fear when you try to set boundaries with relatives
• A constant cycle of conflict, criticism, or misunderstanding
• A friendship fallout that left you shocked or confused
• Difficulty trusting or letting new friends get close to you
• A sense of loneliness even when you're surrounded by people

It's not "too small" to ask for help with these struggles. The pain of losing connection-or feeling unheard or unsupported in a relationship that matters-is real, and you deserve a space to process it.

How Therapy Can Help

Together, we'll work to:

• Untangle the patterns or communication issues causing strain in your relationships
• Understand your feelings and needs more clearly, without guilt or shame
• Build skills for expressing yourself with honesty and confidence
• Set and hold boundaries that protect your peace without cutting people off completely (unless you choose to)
• Heal from friendship breakups or complicated family experiences that left scars

This isn't about fixing other people-it's about helping you feel more grounded, clear, and confident in the relationships you want to keep and at peace with the ones you may need to step away from.

What to Expect

In our sessions, you'll get:

• A safe, judgment-free space to untangle the thoughts and emotions you've been holding in about these relationships
• A therapist who's supportive but honest, helping you see patterns and possibilities you may not have noticed before
• A person-centered approach, where we'll explore how your experiences, values, and learned beliefs about family and friendships are shaping these connections-and how you can navigate them with more self-trust, compassion, and clarity.

You Don't Have to Navigate This Alone

Family and friendships can bring so much joy-but they can also bring pain that feels complicated and hard to talk about. You deserve understanding, healing, and connection that feels safe.
