Couples Therapy
Couples Therapy at Long Beach Therapy
“It’s good to be loved. It’s profound to be understood.” – Portia de Rossi
Couples therapy is specifically designed to help you and your romantic partner gain insight into your relationship, learn how to resolve conflicts together, and improve relationship satisfaction utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches.
In couples therapy, you and your partner will be encouraged to share your thoughts and feelings, learn effective communication skills, understand each other’s perspectives better, and collaboratively work on strategies to strengthen the relationship. The therapist acts as a neutral mediator and educator, helping you and your partner identify and address underlying issues and patterns in your relationship, with the ultimate goal of fostering a healthier, more supportive partnership.
Importance of Picking the Right Therapist
The first step in therapy is building a trusting and confidential relationship between you and your therapist. This is crucial because a strong therapeutic alliance can significantly impact the effectiveness (and speed) of the therapy.
If you feel that the therapist is providing you a safe and non-judgmental place to share your thoughts and experiences, you will be more likely to achieve your goals.
