Couples Therapy

No matter what stage of your relationship you’re in, marriage counseling can have lasting benefits. A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) can help you resolve recurring conflicts that threaten the happiness of your relationship, unlocking pivotal insights. A therapist can also guide  you and your partner through exercises that will help you develop healthier communication tools that go beyond your sessions. 

Couples counseling is often a last attempt to salvage a marriage, but it’s best to try therapeutic interventions before painful issues become ingrained. In particular, there may be one area that you want to focus on. Couples often seek therapy because there’s a problem they’re struggling to overcome on their own. For example, concerns over addiction, fidelity, or spending habits are common. In this case, marriage counseling can be used to create a safe environment for repairing broken trust and establishing clear, solution-oriented objectives.  

 
Of course, couples therapy isn’t only for people who have already tied the knot. It can help any couple to regain a deeper sense of connection and emotional vulnerability, whether you’re currently dating, engaged, or married. Many people seek premarital counseling as a way to establish realistic expectations and build conflict-resolution skills early on in the relationship.
