Couple's Session (Returning Client)

Service Description

Couple's or marriage counseling is offered to support people in relationship who may be considering separation or seeking improved intimacy and understanding. In couple's counseling, the relationship is the focus, although each person should expect to focus on self-awareness and self-improvement. When Is Couple's or Marriage Counseling Recommended? People in relationship seek counseling for any number of reasons, from power struggles and communication problems, to sexual dissatisfaction and infidelity. Though counseling is recommended as soon as discontent arises in a relationship, studies show that on average, partners will not seek therapy until they have been unhappy for six years. And yet, the more time has passed, the more difficult it may be to repair the relationship. Expectations and Goals Successful therapy depends on each partner’s motivation and dedication to the process, and couples can expect to become better listeners and communicators and to find new ways to support one another. Goals will be established by the couple under the guidance of the therapist, and in order to achieve these objectives, each partner must be prepared to acknowledge and understand his or her role in the relationship. It is not uncommon for conflict to arise within therapy sessions, but ethical therapists will strive to remain neutral and avoid taking sides. This is a virtual or face to face meeting in my office.
