Relationships are built on trust, communication, and emotional connection. However, even the strongest partnerships can face challenges. Whether it’s ongoing disagreements, emotional distance, or the impact of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, couples therapy offers a safe and supportive space to rebuild connection. In New Haven, Dr. Somaia Mohamed provides compassionate and evidence-based therapy designed to help couples reconnect, heal, and grow—together.

Why Couples Seek Therapy

Couples often turn to therapy when communication breaks down, arguments become frequent, or emotional disconnection sets in. Other common reasons include:

• Stress caused by work or family pressures

• Emotional wounds from past experiences

• Trust issues, including infidelity

• Life transitions like parenthood or relocation

• Mental health struggles affecting one or both partners

With professional support, couples can gain tools to manage conflict more effectively and develop deeper understanding for one another.

Anxiety and Depression: How They Affect Relationships

Anxiety and depression don’t only impact the individual—they affect the partnership as a whole. A partner living with anxiety may avoid tough conversations or react with heightened stress. Depression can create emotional distance, reduced intimacy, or withdrawal from daily connection.

Dr. Somaia Mohamed brings expertise in treating both conditions, helping couples understand how mental health influences relationship dynamics. Therapy sessions focus on building empathy, emotional awareness, and coping strategies for both partners.
