What should I expect to discuss during couples therapy?

During your first session your therapist will want to learn more about you and your partner, and your relationship with each other.

As you continue to meet, they will help you and your partner talk through difficult problems, conflicts, and communication barriers — and build long-term strategies to overcome them.

Your therapist will work with both of you to help you understand yourselves and each other, celebrate your strengths and successes, and build a stronger bond with one another.

Every relationship is different, and your therapist will tailor their approach to find a good way to work with you and your partner.
