What is couples therapy?

Couples therapy helps people struggling with their intimate relationships, such as with a life partner or spouse.

Close relationships of all kinds go through stages where problems arise, and the partnership becomes strained. Many couples work through their issues and often emerge with an even deeper bond, but some encounter difficulties they can’t manage without help.

Couples therapy at Paramount Health Directions offers a new, unbiased perspective on the relationship. Your therapist helps you navigate your problems and better understand each other so you can move forward.

When might I benefit from couples therapy?

Couples therapy can benefit people with relationship problems at any stage. While it’s often those who’ve been together for many years who seek help when they hit a roadblock, couples therapy can be equally valuable to newlyweds or those considering a long-term commitment.

Common issues that can cause relationship difficulties include:

Money worries
Financial management disagreements
Frequent rows
Cheating
Lying and secrecy
Job change or loss
Moving home
Long-term health problems
Differing religious/spiritual beliefs
Parenting issues
Addictions/substance use disorder

Sexual problems like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, difficulty climaxing, painful intercourse, and one partner wanting sex more often than the other can also increase tension in a relationship.

You can find a way through challenges like these, but couples therapy makes the process easier and more likely to succeed.

How does couples therapy help with relationship problems?

Couples therapy at Paramount Health Directions provides a neutral environment where you and your partner can openly discuss the relationship and your problems. In most sessions, the therapist sees you both together, but sometimes, they want to speak to each partner alone.

One of the foundations of good relationships is communication. Very often, the root of peoples’ problems is poor communication or failing to communicate at all. One partner may brood over an issue with the other but fail to express their feelings until they lose their temper. Or partners may struggle to say what they mean, making problems worse.

During couples therapy, you learn communication skills that enable you to talk and listen clearly. You also learn about understanding your partner’s viewpoint, how to compromise successfully, and how to resolve disagreements.
