Couples/Marriage Counseling​

​

Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which a therapist with clinical experience working with couples helps two people involved in a romantic relationship gain insight into their relationship, resolve conflict and improve relationship satisfaction utilizing a variety of therapeutic interventions. Although the practice of couples therapy may vary depending on the therapist’s theoretical orientation, all couples therapy tends to involve the following general elements:

​

• A focus on a specific problem (i.e. sexual difficulties, Internet addiction, jealousy)

• Active participation on the part of the therapist in treating the relationship itself, rather than each individual separately.

• Solution-focused, change-oriented interventions early on in treatment.

• A clear establishment of treatment objectives.
