What is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy, also called relationship counseling, is a way for partners to improve their relationship with the help of a trained professional. It’s not about blaming each other or deciding who’s right or wrong. Instead, it creates a safe space where couples can talk openly, understand each other better, and work through challenges together. The therapist acts as a guide, helping both partners learn to communicate more effectively and solve problems healthily.
