Couples Therapy

What Is Couples Therapy?

Couples therapy, also known as couples counseling or marriage therapy, is a form of psychotherapy designed to help couples address and resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their relationships. It is typically conducted by psychologists or therapists who are trained to work with couples experiencing various issues in their relationships. Couples therapy aims to create a safe and supportive environment for partners to explore their concerns and  work together to achieve healthier and more satisfying connections.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely practiced and evidence-based therapeutic approach that can be effectively applied in couples therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress and relationship problems. By applying CBT techniques in couples therapy, individuals and couples can gain insight into their relationship dynamics, learn to address issues more effectively, and ultimately build stronger, healthier relationships. This approach is particularly effective for couples facing conflicts related to communication, trust, intimacy, and various relationship stressors.

First Session

During the first 10 minutes of your initial appointment, you and your provider will review the informed consent and our practice's policies and answer any questions you may have. Afterward, your psychologist or therapist will review with you the overall agenda for your initial evaluation which typically involves speaking about the length of your session and what the focus of the evaluation will cover.

Second Session

For your second session, you and your partner will come in separately for an individual session with your psychologist or therapist where they will better understand each one of you individually, and go over any information that you would like them to know that you may have not felt comfortable disclosing in your first session.

Third Session

This session is geared towards ironing out a treatment plan with relevant goals that will become the focus of treatment. Your psychologist or therapist will overview their approach in assisting you and your partner to achieve your relevant treatment goal(s). At the end, they will work with both you and your partner to identify a feasible time and date for your first therapy appointment going forward.
