Couples therapy, also known as marriage or relationship counseling, is a type of psychotherapy aimed at helping couples resolve conflicts and improve their relationship. During couples therapy, a trained therapist works with both partners to identify and address underlying issues, improve communication, and develop strategies for managing conflict. Therapy sessions may focus on a range of topics, such as improving intimacy and emotional connection, managing differences in parenting styles, or addressing infidelity or trust issues. Couples therapy can be an effective way to strengthen relationships and promote overall well-being for both partners.

Couples therapy (also called marriage or relationship counseling) is a form of psychotherapy where a trained therapist works with both partners together to improve communication, resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, increase intimacy, and strengthen the overall relationship.
Any couple — married, dating, engaged, or co-parenting — can benefit. It helps with frequent arguments, poor communication, emotional distance, infidelity, trust issues, sexual difficulties, parenting disagreements, life transitions, or simply wanting a healthier, happier relationship.
Both partners attend together (sometimes individuals are seen separately at first). The therapist creates a safe, neutral space for honest conversation, asks questions, helps each person feel heard, identifies unhealthy patterns, teaches new communication skills, and gives practical tools and homework to practice between sessions.
It depends on the couple and the issues. Some couples resolve specific problems in 6–12 sessions. Deeper or long-standing issues (infidelity, chronic conflict, trauma) may take 6–12 months or longer. Many couples continue occasional “tune-up” sessions even after things improve.
No. Couples therapy works for married couples, engaged couples, dating partners, long-term partners, co-parents, and even those considering separation who want to part more respectfully or explore reconciliation.
Yes — everything said in session is confidential. The therapist will not take sides or share information with anyone outside the room without written permission (except in cases of imminent harm or legal requirements).
Very often, yes. Many couples who were on the brink of breakup or divorce report dramatic improvement and renewed connection through therapy — especially when both partners are willing to show up and do the work.
