Sometimes there isn't one major problem. You may simply know that something between you has changed and you don't want to keep repeating the same patterns.
It's not about deciding who's right.
Couples therapy isn't about choosing sides or determining which partner is the problem.
It's about understanding the patterns that keep happening between you.
Sometimes one person pursues a conversation while the other shuts down. Sometimes small disagreements quickly become much bigger ones. Sometimes years of feeling unheard or misunderstood have created distance and resentment.
Therapy gives both partners space to slow those patterns down, understand what is happening underneath them, and learn different ways of responding to one another.
The goal isn't to never disagree. It's to be able to communicate, repair and stay connected even when you do.

What does couples therapy actually look like?
The first sessions are about understanding your relationship - what's working, what isn't, what keeps happening between you and what each of you hopes will change.
From there, sessions may involve working through recurring conflicts, improving communication, understanding each other's needs, rebuilding trust or learning how to approach difficult conversations differently.
You don't need to arrive agreeing on exactly what the problem is.
Part of the process is understanding both perspectives and identifying what you want to work toward together.
Not sure whether you want to stay together?
Sometimes couples come to therapy when they aren't sure whether they want to repair the relationship at all.
Discernment therapy is designed for couples where one or both partners are uncertain about the future of the relationship. Rather than immediately trying to repair things, the focus is on understanding what brought the relationship to this point and gaining clarity about what comes next.
This is a short-term process and may involve conversations together as well as individually.
