Frequently Asked Questions

-
Any couple, whether married, dating, or engaged, can benefit from couples therapy. It's not just for relationships in crisis; even healthy couples can use therapy to deepen their connection, improve communication, or prepare for significant life changes like marriage or having children.
-
Consider couples therapy if you’re facing persistent conflicts, communication breakdowns, trust issues, or when you feel disconnected from your partner. Therapy is also helpful for navigating major life transitions, such as getting married, having a baby, or relocating.
-
In the first session, your therapist will typically ask about your relationship history, the issues you're facing, and your goals for therapy. It’s also a time to discuss how therapy will be structured and what both partners hope to achieve. The therapist will help you establish a plan for moving forward.
-
The length of therapy depends on the complexity of the issues and the goals you want to achieve. Some couples find significant improvement in a few sessions, while others may continue therapy for several months. The frequency of sessions can also vary based on your needs.

It’s important to communicate any discomfort or disagreements with your therapist. Therapy should be a collaborative process, and as your therapist we are there to support you both. Our therapists recognize how important the right fit is and are very open to discussing this. If you feel the therapist isn’t on the same page, it’s okay to let them know so they can better meet your needs.
