Couples therapy may not "fix” your marriage, rather the therapist’s role is providing more consultation and supportive services
Individuals question how couple’s therapy can help or debate when is the right time to seek help. Couples therapy can be rewarding and successful merely if couples entering therapy understand the myths and misconceptions surrounding couple’s therapy. Therapist should never tell you what to do.
Our therapist, can help couple’s problem-solve, identify key problems in the relationship and assist with implementing changes that will better the couple. And as a reminder progress and changes take time especially if the issues and problems have been long-standing. Once you get over the fear or hesitation to couple’s therapy and find a therapist that you like and trust therapy can be rewarding, and can help with immediate short-term boost.

This may be intimidating and even frightening but I believe that it going to have to get worse in order for it to get better.
This can feel like a big step to let a stranger into what can be the most private part of your life. But sometimes conflict resolution and problem solving cannot be dealt within the confines of your home – and this is a common reason why couples seek therapy.
