Couples therapy, also known as marriage counseling or couples counseling, is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping couples resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. At Transcend Mental Health & Wellness, couples therapy involves a clinician who is trained in working with couples and who provides a safe and supportive environment for couples to address their issues and work towards their goals.

Couples therapy can be beneficial for couples who are experiencing a wide range of issues, including communication problems, sexual difficulties, infidelity, financial stress, parenting disagreements, and other relationship challenges. During couples therapy sessions, the clinician will work with both partners to identify the underlying issues that are contributing to their conflicts and help them develop strategies for resolving these issues.

The approach taken in couples therapy can vary depending on the needs and goals of the couple. Some common approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and solution-focused therapy. These approaches may involve techniques such as communication skills training, problem-solving strategies, and emotional regulation techniques.

Couples therapy can provide several benefits, including improved communication, increased intimacy, and a stronger sense of connection and commitment. It can also help couples develop a deeper understanding of each other’s perspectives and needs, which can lead to more effective problem-solving and conflict resolution.

Overall, couples therapy can be a powerful tool for helping couples overcome relationship challenges and build stronger, healthier relationships.
