What even is Couples Counseling?
Put simply, couples counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples improve their relationship by tackling the issues causing distress head on. This can include understanding each other better, communicating more effectively, resolving conflicts in healthier ways, emotional closeness and improve intimacy. We can also support couples who may have mental health conditions affecting the marriage. Learning tools and resources to better help your partner who may be struggling.

What to Expect From Couples Counseling
Couples counseling offers a supportive environment where you and your partner can work through challenges and strengthen your relationship. It's natural to wonder if counseling will work for you, but many couples find it beneficial.
Your First Session During your first session, your therapist will get to know you and your partner. They'll ask about your relationship history, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through counseling. This session is a chance to establish rapport and set goals for your counseling journey.
Setting Goals and a Timeline Together with your therapist, you'll set goals for your counseling sessions. These goals will guide your sessions and help track your progress. You'll also discuss a timeline for achieving these goals, which can vary based on your unique situation.
Expect Individual and Couples Sessions In addition to joint sessions with your partner, you may also have individual sessions. These sessions allow each partner to explore personal issues that may be affecting the relationship. Individual sessions can enhance the effectiveness of couples counseling.
What You'll Learn in Therapy In couples therapy, you'll learn communication skills, conflict resolution techniques, and ways to strengthen your emotional connection. You'll also gain insights into your relationship dynamics and patterns of behavior.
Some Potential Barriers to Success While couples counseling can be highly effective, there are potential barriers to success. These may include unwillingness to change, lack of commitment, or underlying issues that need individual therapy.
