We all know that relationships are hard work. Even the healthiest couples experience some degree of conflict in their lives. Couples counseling can support the process of resolving conflicts and improving relationship satisfaction. During treatment, the therapist will help the couple gain insight into the relational dynamics creating their problematic interactions and assign homework to help each couple apply the skills that were worked on in session. Most couples come away from therapy with a greater knowledge of their relational patterns as well as the skills to effectively communicate and problem-solve with their partners.
