Frequently Asked Questions
When should a couple consider therapy?
Any time relationship challenges are affecting your daily life, wellbeing, or sense of connection it is worth considering therapy. You do not need to be on the verge of separation to benefit. Many couples find that starting therapy earlier, before issues become entrenched, leads to faster and more meaningful progress.
Can couples therapy help after infidelity or a major breach of trust?
Yes. Rebuilding trust after infidelity or a significant betrayal is one of the most common reasons couples seek therapy and one that responds well to structured, professional support. Your therapist will work with both partners to process what happened, address the underlying issues, and develop a realistic path forward together.
How long does couples therapy typically take?
This varies depending on the nature and complexity of the challenges being addressed. Many couples begin with weekly sessions and adjust frequency as progress develops. Your therapist will discuss realistic expectations with you during the first appointment and review progress regularly throughout treatment.
