Couples seek therapy for all sorts of reasons. Some of the most common issues we see are struggles with communication, disagreements about parenting or finances, constant arguments, infidelity, dissatisfaction with the sexual relationship or unfulfilled emotional needs.
What to Expect in Couples Therapy
You and your partner will meet for an initial session with one of our specialized relationship experts. Some topics that our couples therapists will be interested in understanding in the initial session could include your reasons for seeking therapy at this time, the problems you are encountering in your relationship at this time- from each of your perspectives, some of the past solutions you have tried and some history of your relationship. Your therapist will also be interested in exploring the strengths in your relationship and the positive elements to build upon.
Topics couples tackle through counselling or therapy:
- identity and role conflict
- dependence vs. independence
- religion, ethics and values
- jealousy
- parenting
- infidelity
- money and finances
- addiction
- family and in-law struggles
- step-family issues
- gender roles
- infertility and adoption
- pre-marital counselling
