Sandy Couples Therapy & Marriage Counseling

What is Couples Therapy & Marriage Counseling?

Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy designed to resolve various interpersonal problems between couples, whether they are together, separated or divorced. Although the focus of couples therapy is on the couple, there are times when the personal problems of one or both partners need to be addressed, which may require intermittent sessions of individual therapy. 

Is Couples Therapy right for you?

It may be time to seek couples therapy if an issue is causing moderate to severe distress or functional impairment in your relationship. Below are some things that couples therapy can help with:
