COUPLES THERAPY

Couples Therapy is one of the most popular form of therapy. Usually it begins with one or both individuals finding themselves unhappy with their current status of their relationship through self-reflecting or in how you're treating one another. Working with couples is also one of our clinician's favorite forms of therapy.

Couples Therapy can help

  • ​Have we lost touch with the love we once had?
  • Do we have different communication styles?
  • Has our sex life disappeared? 
  • Do we have the same argument over and over again?
  • Is our relationship starting to affect our children?
  • Do we find ways to avoid one another instead of handling the issue?
  • Has one of us had an affair?
  • Am I considering an affair?
  • Are we unable to be honest with one another?
  • Are one or both of you considering an open relationship and would like assistance in this unique new lifestyle choice?

What to expect in Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy is facilitated to meet your needs as a couple. Initially your therapist will want to get an understanding of the issues that are happening within your relationship. Both individuals will have an opportunity to express their concerns. Thereafter, the therapist will want to learn more about your history as a couple thus far as well as your individual past. Once the aforementioned is gathered, the couple and the therapist create a plan-of-action that is agreed upon by the couple to address your needs as a couple.

Couples Therapy is not intended to point fingers, but instead to understand how the current dynamic is not working and to make appropriate modifications. Overtime, you will learn new skills and grow in the direction you desire. It is not your therapists responsibility to keep you together, if separating is the option you decide, your therapist can help with this process as well regarding your individual needs and/or family needs. Know, your therapist is not a lawyer, their main concern is your mental health needs, communication, and creating the best family dynamics possible.
Couples Therapy is also available for individuals; in the event your partner is uninterested in attending therapy.
