Couples Therapy
Couple therapy is needed for the couple that may have experienced some painful situation but despite which they know that they have a future together.
Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy focused on helping a couple work through challenges, understand their relationship better, and develop healthier ways of relating to one another.
Many couples come to couples therapy because they're dealing with a specific challenge, such as communication issues, difficulties around sex, affairs, or considering a breakup.
Marriage counseling helps couples of all types recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. Through marriage counseling, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding and strengthening your relationship or going your separate ways.
Signs you should go to couples therapy:
1. Poor communication with your partner
2. Feelings of boredom or numbness about your relationship
3. Wanting to learn how to have healthy conflict
4. Having the same fight over and over again without resolution
5. A desire to improve your relationship
6. Feeling distant from your partner
7. Feeling like you're not getting something you need (for example, time or affection)
8. Tackling a big life event (like moving, a new job, or a tough decision)
9. Managing the transition from couplehood to new parenthood
10. Managing the transition from parenthood to empty nesting
11. The presence of a betrayal (an affair or unfaithfulness)
12. Considering a divorce or wondering if you should break up
13. A desire to set a strong foundation before marriage (premarital counseling)
14. Feeling too attached to one another (codependency)
15. The presence of past traumas that show up in your relationship
