Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.
Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples' needs, the challenges they'd like to work through, and the pace of their progress.

Relationship Ups and Downs: Do We Need Couples Therapy?
It’s not uncommon for couples to experience ups and downs throughout their relationship. You won’t always be on the same side of the fence over every element of life, and most of the time you’ll be able to resolve an argument or address an issue on your own, without support.
It’s for this reason that many people continue weathering the storm, even when their relationship starts to have more downs than ups. But why put off trying Woodbridge couples counseling?
If you’re experiencing an issue you can’t seem to overcome or you’re stuck in “down” mode, couples therapy can help facilitate resolution before your otherwise great relationship continues to go downhill.
