What Is Couples Therapy?
Couples Therapy (also called couples counseling or relationship therapy) is a form of psychotherapy designed specifically for romantic partners. The focus isn’t only on individuals—but on the relationship as the “client”: the interaction patterns, communication styles, emotional dynamics, and shared history that shape your connection.
Therapists trained in this modality help couples identify negative cycles, improve communication, rebuild trust, and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Harvard Health

What to Expect in Your First Session
Duration depends on your goals and the complexity of issues. Some couples make meaningful progress in 8‑12 sessions, while others engage longer for deeper change and growth.
How long does couples therapy typically last?
Ideally yes—both partners benefit most when fully engaged. Occasionally, one partner may have a solo session if needed, but joint participation is central to progress.
Do both partners need to attend every session?
Not at all. Any committed romantic partnership—married, cohabiting, dating—can benefit from this work. The focus is on the relationship dynamics, not the legal status.
Is couples therapy just for married couples?
Yes—but when one partner is less engaged, individual therapy or a combined approach may help. We’ll discuss options and what’s best for your relationship.
Can therapy help if one partner is reluctant?
If you and your partner are ready to deepen your connection, rebuild communication, and navigate life together more strongly — let’s begin. Book a consultation today with Downtown Behavioral Wellness for couples therapy—available in New York City and via telehealth across Florida and beyond.
