Facts About Couples Therapy

  • Couples therapy is beneficial for any couple experiencing relationship challenges or seeking to enhance their connection. If you're facing communication breakdowns, constant arguments, or feeling disconnected from your partner, therapy can offer support and guidance. Additionally, if you're considering separation or divorce, couples therapy can help explore whether reconciliation is possible and beneficial.

  • During the initial session, your therapist will gather information about your relationship history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. They'll explain their approach to therapy and discuss confidentiality and the roles of both partners in the process. It's an opportunity for both partners to share their perspectives and begin to identify underlying issues contributing to relationship difficulties.

  • A couples therapy session is 53 minutes. Generally, couples attend therapy weekly for at least 8 weeks in order to build some momentum. As progress is made, sessions may become less frequent.Your therapist will work collaboratively with you to determine the most effective treatment plan.

  • The first step is calling us at (708) 713-5894 or filling out a contact form so we can learn more about your specific needs. It is critically important that we match you with the therapist who is best suited to your own unique situation. During this call we learn more about you, hear your concerns, and answer any questions you may have. Once we have this information we will recommend the therapist who we feel is the best fit for you.

We would love to hear from you. Let us help you with your relationship.
