Frequently Asked Questions

Couples and family therapy is often shorter-term than individual therapy, typically ranging from 8-20 sessions. However, this can change depending on the complexity of the issues, level of distress, and your specific goals.
While it’s best to have all relevant family members present, therapy can still be beneficial even if not everyone is willing to attend. Positive change can occur in a family system when even one member begins to interact differently.
Couples therapy can help you gain clarity about your relationship and make thoughtful decisions about your future. If you decide to separate, therapy can assist in navigating this transition in the healthiest way possible, especially when children are involved. If you choose to rebuild your relationship, therapy also provides tools and strategies to strengthen your connection.
