   | | Marital/Couple Counseling Communication problems, illness, infidelity, anger, sexual difficulties, financial problems are just a few of the situations that can lead to marital distress. With divorce common, dealing with stepchildren and ex-wives or husbands can be another source of stress in relationships. Similar problems also face couples who are not yet married but who are either contemplating marriage or are interested in improving their relationship or taking it to the next level. If you feel you would like to improve your relationship and are not sure how to fix things, or if you really want to, it may be time for counseling. Counseling can help you rebuild your relationship or help you decide that you will both be better off apart. Couple counseling can help you understand your relationship better and help you make good decisions about this important area of your life. What is marriage or couple counseling? Marriage or couple counseling is the meeting of the couple with a qualified therapist to help the couple understand and resolve conflicts, solve problems, improve communication, and develop other skills to improve their relationship. Sometimes the therapist will meet with the couple individually but most often together. The typical first session can focus on getting a detailed history of the couple, jumping in to discuss problems with which the couple is currently struggling, or a combination of both. Couple counseling is typically short-term. You may only need a few sessions to help you get past your current difficulties. Sometimes several months is required for more complex issues or if several issues are confronting the couple. Typically you will meet with your therapist once a week. < Back | |
