Couples Therapy

What Is Couples Therapy?

Couples therapy is a type of counseling that supports partners in strengthening their relationship, resolving conflicts, and improving communication. It provides a neutral, safe space for both individuals to express themselves, understand each other more deeply, and work collaboratively toward healthier dynamics.

Who It Can Help

Couples therapy is beneficial for partners who are:

  • Struggling with communication issues

  • Facing frequent conflict or arguments

  • Experiencing trust issues or infidelity

  • Coping with life transitions (e.g., having children, career changes, loss)

  • Managing sexual or intimacy concerns

  • Navigating cultural, religious, or identity differences

  • Feeling disconnected or emotionally distant

  • Seeking premarital counseling or relationship enrichment

Couples at any stage—dating, engaged, married, or long-term—can benefit from therapy.
