Explore the Root Cause of Your Communication Issues

Are you seeking therapy to help you identify the communication patterns that lead to the arguing? In therapy, your therapist will help guide you to understand each other’s perspectives with the ultimate goal of uncovering unmanaged expectations. Once you uncover your stressors, your therapist will help teach you both techniques that will aid in reducing conflict and defensive patterns and letting go of the frustration that is fueling the arguments.

Fortify Your Healthy Relationship with Couples Therapy

Therapy can take you on a true journey of self discovery. When you work with a deeply committed therapist like we have at Flourish Together Therapy, you can sit down and address your real life issues. You get a partner to work with you on improving communication skills, addressing issues at school or work more effectively, expressing your personal needs in a healthier way, and over time, feeling more in control of your daily experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Couples therapy is a form of counseling where both partners meet with a therapist to address relationship issues and improve communication. The therapist helps identify problems, facilitates open dialogue, and teaches strategies to resolve conflicts and strengthen the relationship.

  • Any couple, whether married, dating, or engaged, can benefit from couples therapy. It's not just for relationships in crisis; even healthy couples can use therapy to deepen their connection, improve communication, or prepare for significant life changes like marriage or having children.

  • Consider couples therapy if you’re facing persistent conflicts, communication breakdowns, trust issues, or when you feel disconnected from your partner. Therapy is also helpful for navigating major life transitions, such as getting married, having a baby, or relocating.

  • In the first session, your therapist will typically ask about your relationship history, the issues you're facing, and your goals for therapy. It’s also a time to discuss how therapy will be structured and what both partners hope to achieve. The therapist will help you establish a plan for moving forward.

  • The length of therapy depends on the complexity of the issues and the goals you want to achieve. Some couples find significant improvement in a few sessions, while others may continue therapy for several months. The frequency of sessions can also vary based on your needs.

  • While it’s ideal for both partners to participate, therapy can still be beneficial if only one partner attends. Individual therapy can help you gain insights, develop better communication skills, and make positive changes in the relationship, which can influence the dynamics with your partner.

  • Therapy can be highly effective in helping couples address and overcome serious issues, such as infidelity, constant conflict, or emotional disconnection. While it’s not a guarantee that every relationship will be saved, therapy provides tools and a safe space to work through problems and make informed decisions about the future.

  • It’s important to communicate any discomfort or disagreements with your therapist. Therapy should be a collaborative process, and as your therapist we are there to support you both. Our therapists recognize how important the right fit is and are very open to discussing this. If you feel the therapist isn’t on the same page, it’s okay to let them know so they can better meet your needs.

  • To get the most out of therapy, be open and honest with your therapist, set clear goals, and actively participate in the process. Practice the strategies and techniques you discuss in sessions in your daily life, and communicate any concerns or adjustments needed with your therapist. If you are having difficulties implementing tools, talking to your therapist can be helpful.

  • Yes, therapy sessions are confidential. Your therapist is bound by ethical guidelines to protect your privacy, with some exceptions (e.g., if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others). Your therapist will explain the confidentiality policy at the start of therapy.
