Couples therapy is designed for couples who are in a relationship, married, engaged, or simply dating, both in a traditional and nontraditional manner. It is sometimes referred to as marriage counseling. The goal of couples therapy is to improve the couples’ relationship in terms of communication and compatibility. This type of therapy can also help couples decide whether they should continue staying together in this relationship. Although the focus of couples therapy is on the couple, there are times when the individual psychological issues of one or both parties need to be addressed. These needs can be accommodated by an additional therapist to work individually with each person as well. However, there are NO secrets in couples therapy.
Therapy often includes sessions designed to improve problem solving, build communication skills, and identify life goals and relationship responsibilities. Other common issues include, but not limited to the following: communication challenges, infidelity (both physical and emotional), past hurts from unsuccessful relationships, financial problems, lack of support, illness and other life changes, as well as anger. Depending on the level of distress in the relationship, therapy can be short term or over a period of several months.
