Couples Therapy
Understanding Couples Therapy
Couples therapy, also known as relationship therapy or marriage counseling, is a specialized form of therapy designed to help partners improve their relationship dynamics and address issues affecting their connection. This collaborative process provides a safe and neutral environment for couples to communicate openly about their feelings, concerns, and desires. Through guided discussions and exercises, couples can explore their relationship patterns, enhance their understanding of one another, and work toward building a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.
