Couples Therapy
Couples Therapy:
Couples therapy is a type of counseling that aims to improve communication and strengthen the emotional connection between partners. It can be helpful for couples at any stage of their relationship, whether they just got married or have been together for a long time. Many sexual issues can also be addressed through couples therapy.
Sometimes when there are sexual problems or dysfunctions, one partner may mistakenly believe that it's solely their issue. For example, men with erectile issues might think it's their own "problem" and seek individual therapy. However, in many cases, the dynamics between the couple play a role in, worsen, or are negatively affected by the problem. So even if it didn't start out as a problem for both partners, it often becomes one. Additionally, the treatment options often involve both partners participating and supporting each other. They work together as a team to heal.
To start couples therapy, I conduct a thorough assessment to fully understand the couples therapeutic needs. This includes an initial interview with both partners together, individual interviews with each partner, an online questionnaire that I will use alongside the information from the interviews, and a second meeting with both partners present to go over my impressions and treatment recommendations.
