What Is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy is a structured process designed to help partners:
- Identify and understand recurring conflict patterns
- Communicate more effectively and respectfully
- Rebuild trust after emotional or relational breaches
- Strengthen intimacy and emotional connection
- Navigate life transitions as a team
It’s not just for couples in crisis—many partners come to therapy to maintain a healthy bond and learn tools for ongoing growth.
