Why Couples Seek Therapy
Communication Problems
Communication breakdowns are one of the most common reasons couples seek therapy. When partners struggle to communicate effectively, small disagreements escalate into major conflicts, feelings go unheard, and emotional distance grows.
Common communication issues include:
– Frequent misunderstandings or feeling like you’re “speaking different languages”
– One or both partners shutting down or stonewalling during conflict
– Criticism, defensiveness, or contempt during disagreements
– Difficulty expressing needs or feelings without triggering arguments
– Feeling unheard, dismissed, or invalidated by your partner
– Communication that works fine in good times but breaks down under stress
In couples therapy, you’ll learn:
– Active listening skills that help you truly understand your partner
– How to express needs and feelings without blame or criticism
– Techniques for de-escalating conflict before it spirals
– Ways to repair communication after arguments
– How to have difficult conversations about sensitive topics
Better communication doesn’t mean you’ll never disagree—it means you’ll disagree more productively, understand each other more deeply, and resolve conflicts without damaging your relationship.
Infidelity and Trust Issues
Discovering infidelity—whether emotional or physical—creates profound pain and shatters the foundation of trust in a relationship. Couples therapy provides a structured, safe space to process betrayal, understand what led to the affair, and decide whether and how to rebuild the relationship.
Therapy for infidelity addresses:
– Processing the pain, anger, and grief that follows betrayal
– Understanding factors that contributed to the affair
– Deciding whether to rebuild the relationship or separate
– Rebuilding trust through transparency and consistent actions
– Addressing underlying relationship issues that may have existed before the affair
– Healing from trauma and moving forward (together or apart)
Trust issues can also arise from:
– Past relationships or childhood experiences
– Patterns of dishonesty (even if not affairs)
– Secrecy around money, friendships, or online activity
– Broken promises or repeated disappointments
Our therapists help couples:
– Process difficult emotions in a safe environment
– Have honest conversations about what happened and why
– Establish what both partners need to rebuild safety and trust
– Develop agreements and boundaries for moving forward
– Heal from trauma while deciding whether to stay together
Recovery from infidelity is possible, but requires commitment from both partners and guidance from an experienced therapist who understands the complex emotions involved.
Conflict and Recurring Arguments
Every couple argues, but some couples get stuck in destructive patterns where the same arguments repeat endlessly without resolution. These recurring conflicts erode closeness and create ongoing tension and resentment.
Patterns therapists help address:
– The same argument replaying over and over with no resolution
– Arguments that escalate quickly from minor issues to major fights
– Bringing up past grievances during current disagreements
– Feeling like you can’t discuss certain topics without fighting
– One partner always “giving in” to avoid conflict (which builds resentment)
– Conflict that turns nasty (name-calling, threats, bringing up divorce)
Common conflict topics:
– Household responsibilities and division of labor
– Parenting styles and decisions about children
– Money, spending, and financial priorities
– Time spent together vs. apart (independence vs. togetherness)
– In-laws and extended family
– Sex and intimacy
– Career decisions and work-life balance
In couples therapy, you’ll:
– Identify underlying issues beneath surface arguments
– Learn to fight fairly without damaging the relationship
– Understand each partner’s core needs and fears
– Develop problem-solving skills for addressing real issues
– Break destructive communication patterns
– Learn when compromise is possible and when you need to find creative solutions
The goal isn’t to eliminate all conflict—it’s to make conflict productive rather than destructive.
Intimacy and Sexual Concerns
Intimacy issues—both emotional and physical—are common in long-term relationships but often difficult to discuss. Couples therapy provides a safe space to address these sensitive concerns without judgment.
Emotional intimacy issues:
– Feeling more like roommates than romantic partners
– Loss of emotional connection or feeling distant from each other
– Difficulty being vulnerable or sharing deeper feelings
– Feeling lonely even when together
– Lack of quality time or meaningful conversation
Physical and sexual concerns:
– Mismatched sexual desires or libido differences
– Sexual dysfunction or pain
– Lack of physical affection (hugging, kissing, touching)
– Past sexual trauma affecting current intimacy
– Resentment or relationship issues blocking physical connection
– Changes in attraction or sexual interest
Factors affecting intimacy:
– Stress, exhaustion, and demanding schedules
– Parenting young children
– Mental health issues (depression, anxiety)
– Physical health problems or medications
– Unresolved conflict creating emotional distance
– Lack of novelty or routine feeling stale
Our therapists help couples:
– Have open, honest conversations about intimacy needs
– Understand the emotional blocks preventing connection
– Address sexual concerns with sensitivity and expertise
– Rebuild both emotional and physical intimacy
– Create time and space for connection despite busy lives
– Navigate differences in desire or sexual preferences
Intimacy is central to romantic relationships, and addressing these issues can dramatically improve overall relationship satisfaction.
Life Transitions and Major Changes
Significant life changes—even positive ones—create stress that impacts relationships. Couples therapy helps partners navigate transitions together rather than allowing change to create distance.
Common transitions that bring couples to therapy:
– Marriage or moving in together (adjusting expectations)
– Having children (new roles, less couple time, exhaustion)
– Children leaving home (empty nest, rediscovering each other)
– Career changes, job loss, or retirement
– Relocation or moving to a new city
– Illness, injury, or disability
– Caring for aging parents
– Financial changes (windfalls or hardship)
– Recovering from trauma or loss
Why transitions are challenging:
– New roles and responsibilities to negotiate
– Stress and anxiety about the unknown
– Different coping styles creating conflict
– Less time or energy for the relationship
– Questioning whether you’re still compatible
Therapy helps couples:
– Communicate about fears, expectations, and needs during change
– Support each other through difficult transitions
– Renegotiate roles and responsibilities
– Maintain connection despite new demands
– View the transition as “us against the problem” rather than “me vs. you”
– Adapt as a team rather than as individuals moving in different directions
Strong couples navigate change together. Therapy provides tools and support for doing so successfully.
Our Approach to Couples Therapy
Evidence-Based Therapeutic Methods
Our couples therapists use proven, research-backed approaches tailored to each couple’s unique needs and relationship patterns.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT):
EFT helps couples identify and transform negative interaction patterns by focusing on emotional bonds. This approach addresses the underlying attachment needs that drive conflict, helping partners respond to each other with empathy and create secure emotional connections.
Gottman Method:
Based on decades of research on what makes relationships succeed or fail, the Gottman Method helps couples:
– Reduce conflict and gridlock
– Increase intimacy and friendship
– Break through barriers to deeper understanding
– Build a shared sense of meaning and purpose
Cognitive-Behavioral Approaches:
CBT-based couples therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that damage relationships, teaching practical communication and problem-solving skills.
Narrative Therapy:
Helps couples rewrite the story of their relationship, separating their identity from the problems they face and viewing challenges as external obstacles to overcome together.
Your therapist will discuss approaches and create a treatment plan based on:
– Your specific relationship concerns
– Your goals for therapy
– What resonates with both partners
– What research shows works for issues like yours
What to Expect in Couples Therapy Sessions
Understanding the therapy process helps couples feel more comfortable and engaged.
First Session (Intake):
Your first couples therapy session typically lasts 60-75 minutes and focuses on:
– Understanding each partner’s perspective on relationship concerns
– Discussing your relationship history and current challenges
– Exploring what you hope to achieve in therapy
– Assessing communication patterns and interaction dynamics
– Creating initial goals and treatment plan
Both partners will have opportunities to share their perspectives. The therapist maintains neutrality, supporting the relationship rather than taking sides.
Ongoing Sessions:
Subsequent sessions (typically 60-75 minutes) may include:
– Reviewing progress and homework from previous sessions
– Practicing new communication skills
– Processing difficult emotions in a safe environment
– Working through specific conflicts or concerns
– Learning and practicing new relationship skills
– Addressing patterns that emerge in sessions
Between-Session Work:
Therapy is most effective when couples practice new skills between sessions. Homework might include:
– Communication exercises to practice at home
– Scheduling quality time or date nights
– Reading materials or worksheets
– Tracking patterns or emotions
– Implementing specific changes discussed in therapy
How Long Does Therapy Take?
The duration varies based on:
– Complexity and severity of relationship issues
– Both partners’ commitment to change
– Whether you’re addressing acute crisis or long-term patterns
– Your specific goals
Some couples see improvement in 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term therapy. Your therapist will discuss expected timeline and check in regularly about progress.
Individual Sessions vs. Couples Sessions
Most couples therapy consists of joint sessions where both partners attend together. However, individual sessions may sometimes be appropriate.
When Individual Sessions Are Used:
– Brief individual check-ins at the beginning of treatment
– When one partner needs to discuss something sensitive before bringing it to couples sessions (like disclosure of an affair)
– To address individual mental health issues impacting the relationship
– When recommended by the therapist for specific clinical reasons
Our Approach:
The primary work happens in joint couples sessions. Individual therapy for personal issues (depression, anxiety, trauma) is handled separately from couples therapy to maintain the couples therapist’s neutrality and focus on the relationship.
If individual therapy is needed:
You can see a different therapist at Michigan Counseling Group for individual work while maintaining couples therapy separately. This integrated approach addresses both individual mental health and relationship issues comprehensively.
Is Couples Therapy Right for You?
Signs You Could Benefit from Couples Therapy
Consider couples therapy if you’re experiencing:
Communication Issues:
– Frequent misunderstandings or feeling unheard
– Conversations that quickly turn into arguments
– Avoiding difficult topics because they always lead to fights
– Feeling like you can’t talk to your partner anymore
Emotional Distance:
– Feeling more like roommates than romantic partners
– Lack of emotional or physical intimacy
– Spending more time apart than together
– Feeling lonely in the relationship
Recurring Conflict:
– The same arguments repeating without resolution
– Inability to compromise or find middle ground
– Resentment building from unresolved issues
– Fighting about everything (small things become big fights)
Trust Issues:
– Infidelity (emotional or physical)
– Secrecy or dishonesty
– Broken promises or reliability issues
– Difficulty trusting your partner
Life Transitions:
– Struggling to adjust after marriage, children, or other major changes
– Different opinions on major life decisions
– Stress from external factors (work, family, finances) affecting your relationship
Considering Separation:
– Thinking about divorce or breakup but unsure
– Wanting to give the relationship one more try before ending it
– Needing help deciding whether to stay or go
Prevention and Enrichment:
– Wanting to strengthen an already good relationship
– Premarital counseling before marriage
– Building communication skills before problems arise
– Maintaining relationship health through life’s challenges
You don’t have to wait until your relationship is in crisis to seek couples therapy. Many couples benefit from therapy as a proactive way to strengthen their relationship and prevent serious problems.
What If My Partner Won't Come to Therapy?
It’s common for one partner to be more interested in couples therapy than the other. Here’s what to do:
If Your Partner is Hesitant:
– Share what you hope therapy will accomplish (improving connection, not assigning blame)
– Offer to start with just one session to see how it goes
– Address common concerns (it’s not about taking sides, it’s about helping both of you)
– Suggest they talk to the therapist directly about their concerns
Common Reasons Partners Resist:
– Fear of being blamed or ganged up on
– Belief that therapy won’t help or is a waste of time
– Shame about needing help or seeing it as failure
– Previous negative therapy experiences
– Viewing therapy as the “beginning of the end”
How Therapists Address Reluctance:
– Making clear that therapy isn’t about blame
– Ensuring both voices are heard equally
– Focusing on the relationship, not attacking individuals
– Starting where both partners are comfortable
If Your Partner Absolutely Refuses:
You can still benefit from individual therapy to:
– Understand your role in relationship patterns
– Develop better communication skills
– Work on your own mental health and well-being
– Decide how to move forward
Sometimes one partner starting individual therapy motivates the other to join couples therapy. Even if they never join, you’ll gain clarity and tools for improving your situation.
Can Therapy Save Every Relationship?
Honest answer: No. Couples therapy can dramatically improve relationships and even save marriages on the brink of ending, but it’s not a guarantee. Success depends on several factors.
Therapy is Most Effective When:
– Both partners are willing to engage in the process (even if one is more skeptical)
– Both are willing to examine their own role in problems (not just blaming the partner)
– There’s still some emotional connection or goodwill, even if buried under hurt and anger
– Abuse, addiction, or other serious issues are being addressed concurrently
– Both partners want the relationship to work (or are open to that possibility)
Therapy May Not Save the Relationship If:
– One or both partners have already decided to end it
– One partner refuses to engage or attend sessions
– Ongoing untreated addiction or abuse continues
– One partner is actively involved with someone else and unwilling to end it
– The relationship has deteriorated to complete emotional detachment with no motivation to reconnect
Sometimes the Outcome is Clarity:
Couples therapy doesn’t always mean staying together. Sometimes therapy helps couples:
– End the relationship more amicably and with less damage
– Separate in a healthier way that protects children and reduces conflict
– Gain clarity about whether the relationship can work
– Try everything possible before ending, allowing closure
Our therapists support whatever outcome is healthiest for both individuals. The goal is helping you make informed, thoughtful decisions about your relationship—not forcing you to stay together regardless of circumstances.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does couples therapy cost?
Couples therapy sessions are typically 60-75 minutes and cost [INSERT YOUR RATE] per session. We accept most major insurance plans, though coverage for couples therapy varies by plan.
Insurance Coverage:
Many insurance plans cover couples therapy when there’s a mental health diagnosis (such as depression or anxiety) that affects the relationship. Our staff can verify your insurance coverage and explain your benefits before you schedule.
Self-Pay Options:
If insurance doesn’t cover couples therapy or you prefer to self-pay, we offer competitive rates. Self-pay allows for complete confidentiality and no insurance documentation of therapy.
We believe cost shouldn’t prevent couples from getting help. Contact our office to discuss payment options and insurance coverage.
How often do we need to attend sessions?
Most couples start with weekly sessions to build momentum and make consistent progress. As issues improve, sessions may space out to every other week or monthly for maintenance.
Typical Schedule:
– Initial Phase: Weekly sessions for 4-8 weeks
– Middle Phase: Every other week as progress is made
– Maintenance: Monthly or as-needed once relationship is stable
The frequency depends on:
– Severity of relationship issues
– Both partners’ schedules and availability
– Progress being made
– Budget and insurance coverage
Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on your specific situation and adjust as needed.
Do you offer premarital counseling?
Yes! Premarital counseling (also called pre-marriage therapy or relationship preparation) helps engaged couples build a strong foundation before marriage.
Premarital counseling addresses:
– Communication skills and conflict resolution
– Expectations about marriage, roles, and responsibilities
– Financial planning and money management
– Family planning and parenting goals
– Intimacy and sexuality
– Relationships with extended family and in-laws
– Balancing independence and togetherness
– Potential areas of conflict and how to address them
Who Benefits:
– Engaged couples preparing for marriage
– Couples living together and considering marriage
– Couples who want to strengthen their relationship before making a formal commitment
Premarital counseling isn’t about identifying dealbreakers (though that can happen)—it’s about starting marriage with realistic expectations, strong communication skills, and tools for navigating challenges together.
What if we have different religions or cultural backgrounds?
Couples from different religious, cultural, or ethnic backgrounds often face unique challenges. Our therapists have experience working with interfaith and intercultural couples and understand the complexities these differences can create.
Common Issues for Diverse Couples:
– Different expectations around gender roles and responsibilities
– Conflicts about how to raise children (religious education, cultural traditions)
– Extended family pressure or disapproval
– Holiday and tradition negotiations
– Communication styles shaped by cultural backgrounds
– Different values around money, family, or individual autonomy
Our Approach:
– Respecting both partners’ backgrounds and beliefs
– Helping couples find common ground and compromise
– Supporting couples in creating their own family culture
– Addressing family pressures while maintaining boundaries
– Understanding how cultural and religious differences impact the relationship
Diversity can strengthen relationships when couples learn to honor both backgrounds while creating shared meaning and values.
Is couples therapy confidential?
Yes, couples therapy is confidential with the same legal protections as individual therapy.
What’s Protected:
Everything discussed in couples therapy sessions is confidential and cannot be shared without your written permission (signed by both partners).
Standard Exceptions:
Therapists are required by law to break confidentiality only when:
– There’s risk of harm to self or others
– Child abuse or neglect is suspected
– Elder abuse is suspected
– A court subpoenas records (rare in couples therapy)
Insurance and Records:
If using insurance, a diagnosis (usually assigned to one partner) is required for billing. This becomes part of that person’s medical record. Self-pay avoids any insurance documentation.
Between Partners:
If one partner discloses something in an individual session (like an affair not yet revealed), the therapist will typically encourage disclosure in couples therapy but won’t share without permission. Therapists handle these situations based on clinical judgment about what serves the relationship.
What if our problems stem from my partner's behavior?
It’s natural to feel like relationship problems are primarily your partner’s fault. However, couples therapy works from the premise that relationships are systems where both partners contribute to patterns—even if one person’s behavior seems more problematic.
Reframing “Blame”:
Couples therapy shifts from “who’s at fault” to “what patterns keep you stuck.” Even if one partner has more obvious issues (addiction, anger, infidelity), both partners play roles in how the relationship functions.
Individual Issues in Couples Context:
If one partner has significant individual issues (depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, trauma), these impact the relationship. The therapist may recommend:
– Individual therapy alongside couples therapy to address personal issues
– Medical evaluation or psychiatry if medication might help
– Specialized treatment (substance abuse, trauma therapy)
Both/And Approach:
Both partners can work on the relationship AND one partner may need to address individual issues. Couples therapy helps you support each other through this process rather than letting individual problems destroy the relationship.
If there’s abuse:
If the relationship includes domestic violence, emotional abuse, or controlling behavior, couples therapy alone is not appropriate. Safety must be addressed first, potentially through individual therapy, safety planning, and specialized domestic violence resources.
Do you see unmarried couples or LGBTQ+ couples?
Absolutely. Couples therapy is for any two people in a committed romantic relationship, regardless of marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
We work with:
– Married couples
– Engaged couples
– Couples in long-term committed relationships
– Partners living together or living apart
– LGBTQ+ couples (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and all identities)
– Couples in various relationship structures
Our Commitment:
All couples receive affirming, knowledgeable, respectful care. Our therapists understand that LGBTQ+ couples may face unique challenges including:
– Navigating family acceptance and coming out
– Minority stress and external discrimination
– Different relationship timelines and milestones
– Navigating gender transition within a relationship
Everyone deserves access to quality couples therapy that respects their relationship and identity.
Can we switch therapists if it's not a good fit?
Yes. The therapeutic relationship is crucial to success, and if you don’t feel comfortable with your couples therapist, you should absolutely request a different therapist.
Finding the Right Fit Matters:
A good couples therapist should:
– Feel neutral (not favoring either partner)
– Create a safe space for both partners to be honest
– Understand your specific relationship dynamics
– Use approaches that resonate with both of you
When to Consider Switching:
– Feeling like the therapist favors one partner
– Not feeling heard or understood
– Approaches or interventions that don’t resonate
– Personality clash or discomfort
– Lack of progress after several sessions
How to Switch:
Contact our office and let us know you’d like to see a different couples therapist. We’ll help match you with another clinician whose approach and style may be a better fit. There’s no penalty or judgment for requesting a change.
Give it a few sessions:
The first session or two can feel awkward as you’re getting to know the therapist. If you’re unsure, try 3-4 sessions before deciding. But if something feels clearly wrong, don’t hesitate to request a change.
What happens if we decide to separate or divorce during therapy?
Couples therapy doesn’t always result in staying together, and therapists support whatever decision is healthiest for both partners.
If You Decide to Separate:
Therapy can help you:
– Separate more amicably with less conflict
– Process the decision and associated grief
– Divide responsibilities (especially if you have children)
– Create a co-parenting plan if applicable
– Navigate the practical and emotional aspects of ending the relationship
– Find closure and clarity about what went wrong
Discernment Counseling:
If one partner wants to end the relationship and the other wants to save it, “discernment counseling” helps couples decide whether to:
– Work on the relationship through couples therapy
– Separate
– Maintain the status quo temporarily
Some couples enter therapy uncertain about staying together. Therapy provides clarity and helps ensure you’ve tried everything before making permanent decisions.
Your therapist won’t push you to stay together or separate—they’ll support you in making the decision that’s right for you.
