What is couples therapy?
Couples therapy is a form of therapy in which both partners attend sessions together to work through difficulties in their relationship. It can be useful at almost any stage — whether you are navigating a specific crisis such as an affair or a significant loss, struggling with recurring patterns like conflict or emotional distance, or simply wanting to deepen your connection before problems develop.
A couples therapist holds space for both perspectives without taking sides, helping each partner feel heard and understood. Couples therapy is not just for relationships in crisis — many couples find it a valuable space to develop more honest communication, rebuild intimacy, and understand each other more fully.

View profileWhat to expect from couples therapy
Couples sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes and involve both partners in conversation with the therapist. The therapist creates a safe structure for dialogue, helping you both explore what is not working, how patterns developed, and what each of you needs.
Common approaches include Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which looks at attachment bonds and emotional needs, and systemic approaches that explore how family history and communication styles contribute to current difficulties. Some couples come to therapy to save a relationship; others use it to reach a clearer decision together. Either way, the focus is on honest, supported conversation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do both partners have to attend couples therapy?
Standard couples therapy involves both partners attending together. However, individual therapy can also be a useful way to explore relationship patterns when one partner is unwilling to attend, or as a complement to couples sessions.
How long does couples therapy take?
Many couples see meaningful improvement within 12 to 20 sessions. Some work through specific issues in a shorter time; others continue for longer to address deeper patterns. Your therapist will discuss pacing with you in the first session.
Can couples therapy save a relationship?
Couples therapy can significantly improve relationships — improving communication, rebuilding trust, and restoring connection. However, it is not guaranteed to save every relationship. Sometimes the most useful outcome is a clearer, more respectful decision about the future, made together.
