Frequently Asked Questions
What types of relationships can therapy help with?
Relationship therapy at BHSI addresses challenges in all types of relationships including romantic partnerships, marriages, family dynamics, friendships, and workplace relationships. If a relationship in your life is causing stress, conflict, or disconnection, therapy can help regardless of the type of relationship involved.
Do both people need to attend therapy for it to be effective?
Not necessarily. Individual therapy can be very effective for addressing your own role in relationship patterns, developing self-awareness, and building healthier communication and boundary-setting skills. Some situations benefit from both people attending together while others are better suited to individual work. Your therapist will help determine the right structure for your situation.
How long does relationship therapy typically take?
This varies depending on the nature and complexity of the relationship challenges being addressed. Many clients 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.
