Couples Counseling
A conversation about how you talk, how you listen, and what happens between you.
Two Perspectives
What a First Session Involves
Both partners can describe what brought them in and ask how sessions work. You do not need to agree beforehand; your therapist listens to each perspective.
Relationship Concerns
Concerns Couples Can Bring In
Bring the concerns that feel unresolved between you.
- Communication that turns into arguing or shutting down
- Trust that has been affected by something in the relationship
- Feeling distant from a partner
- Relationship concerns that have come up repeatedly
- Decisions about the future of the relationship
