Frequently asked questions

How can relationship therapy help my relationship?

Relationship therapy can help you and your partner improve communication, resolve conflicts, and develop a deeper understanding of each other. It can also help you identify and change negative patterns of behavior that may be affecting your relationship.

How do I know if relationship therapy is right for my partner and me?

If you and your partner are struggling with communication, trust issues, frequent conflict, major life adjustments, emotional distance, or other challenges in your relationship, relationship therapy may be a good option for you. A therapist can help you and your partner explore your concerns and develop strategies for improving your relationship.

Do my partner and I have to attend therapy together?

Couples therapy involves both partners attending sessions together. However, individual therapy will be a part of the initial assessment process. 

How long does relationship therapy last?

The length of therapy varies depending on your specific concerns and goals. Some couples may benefit from just a few sessions, while others may attend therapy for several months or even years. Your therapist can help you determine the length of therapy that's right for you.

What should I expect from my first relationship therapy session?

Your first relationship therapy session will typically involve an assessment of your concerns and goals as a couple, as well as an introduction to the therapeutic process. Your therapist will help you and your partner feel comfortable and answer any questions you have about therapy. Part of the assessment process can involve meeting with each partner individually for a session before resuming the work together as a couple.


Will my therapist take sides in our relationship?

No, your therapist is neutral and will not take sides in your relationship. Their primary goal is to facilitate open communication and promote a healthier relationship between both partners. While the therapist may challenge the couple to work towards positive changes, it should not be perceived as taking sides. Their aim is to foster a balanced and constructive environment for both individuals to express their feelings and concerns. Remember, the therapist is there to support and guide both partners, not to favor one over the other.
