FAQs on Couples Therapy
What is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy occurs when a married couple, or a couple in a committed relationship, meet with a qualified couples therapist to address concerns in the context of the relationship. These concerns can include; difficulty in effective communication, lack of intimacy or emotional connection, or struggles in navigating challenging life transitions.
Some of our therapists are trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, which is an experiential therapy that is based in the research of attachment. This mode of therapy is highly effective in increasing connectedness between partners.
We have several clinicians that offer couples therapy and are happy to help you find the best fit for you. Contact us today by phone or the contact form below.
When is Couples Therapy needed?
All couples have some level of conflict, including healthy couples. So if you are having conflict with your spouse or partner, you’re not alone. However, when you find that your conflict is escalating and not able to get resolved, it may be time to seek a qualified couples therapist.
Couples often find that their conflicts will play out the same way time and time again, regardless of the subject matter. This pattern often takes on a life of its own, and can grow to where it negatively impacts the quality of the relationship and the partners’ ability to feel connected to one another.
