Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on improving the quality of the relationship between two people in a romantic partnership. The goal of couples therapy is to help partners understand and communicate with each other more effectively, improve their emotional connection, and develop healthier relationship patterns.

In couples therapy, your therapist works with both partners to identify areas of conflict and explore the underlying issues that may be contributing to your difficulties. Your therapist may use a variety of techniques, such as active listening, empathy-building exercises, and problem-solving strategies, to help partners improve their communication and develop a deeper understanding of each other's needs and perspectives.

Couples therapy can be beneficial for couples experiencing a wide range of issues, including: communication problems, conflicts over parenting, financial stress, infidelity, and sexual difficulties. The therapy can be short-term or long-term, depending on the specific needs of the couple, and may involve individual sessions as well as joint sessions.
