Frequently Asked Questions

What is couples therapy?

The therapy sessions aim to enhance communication, build trust, resolve conflicts, and foster emotional connection and intimacy.

Does couples counseling work?

Yes, couples counseling can be highly effective in improving relationships. Research has shown that couples who engage in counseling often experience positive changes in communication, conflict resolution, and overall relationship satisfaction. However, the success of couples counseling depends on the willingness of both partners to actively participate and work towards positive change.

How long does couples therapy usually last?

The duration of couples therapy can vary depending on the unique circumstances and needs of each couple. Some couples may achieve their goals in a few sessions, while others may require several months of ongoing therapy. The therapist will assess the progress and collaboratively determine the appropriate duration of therapy.

What can I expect in couples counseling sessions?

In couples counseling sessions, you and your partner will engage in open and honest discussions with the therapist present. The therapist will facilitate constructive conversations, provide guidance, and offer tools and strategies to improve your relationship. The sessions may involve exploring past experiences, identifying patterns, learning effective communication techniques, and setting goals for the future.

How do I know if couples counseling is right for us?

Couples counseling can be beneficial if you and your partner are experiencing relationship challenges, communication difficulties, conflicts, or a loss of connection. It can also be helpful as a preventive measure to enhance a healthy relationship. If you feel stuck, unhappy, or unsatisfied in your relationship, couples counseling can provide a supportive and constructive environment to address these concerns.

Can couples counseling help after infidelity?

Yes, couples counseling can help couples navigate the complex emotions and challenges that arise after infidelity. Therapists trained in couples counseling can assist in rebuilding trust, exploring the underlying issues that led to the infidelity, and facilitating open communication to work towards healing and rebuilding the relationship.

What if we've already separated or divorced? Can couples counseling still help?

Even if you’ve separated or divorced, couples counseling can still be beneficial. It can provide a space for open and honest communication, facilitate healing, and help you navigate co-parenting or redefine your relationship in a healthier way. The goal is to improve understanding and find common ground, even if reconciliation is not the ultimate outcome.
