Have Questions About Couples Therapy?
Find quick answers about what to expect, how it works, and how to get started with the right couple therapist for you.
The purpose of couples counselling is to help partners understand one another more deeply, heal emotional injuries, and create healthier patterns. We support teamwork, repair, and long-term relationship satisfaction.
Most couples benefit from research-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. Our couples therapy team uses these proven methods to help improve communication, rebuild trust, and restore connection.
In most cases, working with the same therapist supports fairness, shared understanding, and collaborative progress. Your therapist will guide both of you together as you learn new skills and rebuild connection.
Your therapist will get to know both of you, understand your concerns, and discuss what you hope to change. Many couples feel relief simply by having a safe space to talk openly with a couples therapist.
You may start noticing better communication, reduced tension, and a stronger sense of being heard and understood. Progress often shows up through small but meaningful improvements that build over time.
