At times, healthy relationships can become strained and challenged. Couples counseling can be helpful to repair broken relationships and provide partners with the proper tools to solve future problems. Therapy offers a neutral, non-judgmental party that allows each side of the relationship to express and explain their feelings. The therapist also helps couples to understand each other better, describe each party’s want and needs, improve communication, and manage differences in opinion during and after therapy. In certain cases, couples counseling can help partners come to terms with problems like financial issues and infidelity. Counseling duration can range from a few appointments to multiple years depending on the specific situation.
