Couples Counseling
“Why can’t I stop arguing with my partner?”
Every conversation seems to turn into a fight.
We don’t ever have fun together anymore.
I don’t feel listened to by my partner, and sometimes, I feel belittled or like I’m not important to them anymore.
I’m not sure whether this relationship can work anymore. At the very least, something needs to change. But where do we start?
Couples counseling can make a difference.
Couples counseling, also known as relationship therapy or marriage counseling, is a form of psychotherapy designed to help couples recognize and resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional connection.
Whether dating, engaged, married, or navigating a long-term partnership, couples counseling provides a safe, neutral space to explore challenges and build a healthier relationship.
What issues can couples counseling address?
If you experience communication breakdowns, frequent arguments, or unresolved conflict, couples counseling can help you learn to have meaningful conversations where both feel heard and respected.
Infidelity, breaches of trust, or intimacy issues (emotional or physical) can threaten a couple’s long-term relationship. Counseling can help you identify the underlying causes. Sometimes, the issues might make a couple consider divorce. Counseling can help a couple decide whether divorce is the best solution.
Life transitions (new baby, job change, relocation) or coping with loss, illness, or financial stress are stressful events that require couples to work together. Counseling provides an environment where the couple can address these issues.
Many couples find planning before the wedding bells creates a meaningful, lasting relationship. Premarital preparation is a great way to start, and couples counseling can help you identify and address issues that might present problems.
Here’s what to expect in therapy.
Couples typically meet with a licensed therapist for weekly or bi-weekly sessions.
The therapist facilitates constructive dialogue, teaches tools for active listening and empathy, and helps each partner better understand the other’s needs and perspectives.
The goal isn’t to “take sides,” but to support individuals working together toward shared goals and healthier patterns.
