Is Couples Therapy Right For You?

Relationships can be a source of deep joy—but also of stress, frustration, and misunderstanding. Therapy can help if you and your partner feel stuck in unproductive patterns, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward together. You might relate to any of the following:

Frequent Conflict

Arguments that circle back to the same issues without resolution can erode understanding. Therapy helps you learn tools to de-escalate and resolve disagreements constructively.

Emotional Distance

If the closeness or intimacy you once shared feels diminished, therapy can help you reconnect and rediscover empathy.

Trust Issues

Infidelity, secrecy, or past hurts may have damaged the foundation of your relationship. Therapy provides a path toward repair and rebuilding trust.

Major Life Changes

Stressors such as parenting challenges, relocation, financial strain, or differing goals can test even strong relationships. Therapy can help you realign and adapt together.

“When we move from blame to a healthy expression of feelings and needs, connection replaces conflict.”

– Marshall B. Rosenberg

Couples Therapy For Adults

People seek couples therapy for many reasons. Common concerns we help with include:

  • Chronic communication problems and frequent arguments

  • Conflict about parenting, blended families, or caregiving responsibilities
  • Relationship impacts of compulsive sexual behaviour or past sexual offending
  • Managing relationship stress during life transitions (relocation, job change, illness)
  • Preparing for separation, divorce planning, or co-parenting support

Common Questions

It’s common for one person to be more open to therapy at first. Even if your partner is hesitant, we can start by meeting with you to explore approaches for inviting them in, or work on relationship goals individually.

Yes. Many couples find that meeting virtually from home allows for greater comfort, flexibility, and privacy. Our therapists use secure platforms to ensure your session remains confidential.

Individual therapy focuses on your personal experiences, emotions, and growth, while couples therapy centers on the relationship dynamic itself. Both partners share the space equally, exploring how patterns of communication, conflict, and connection affect each other. Many people find that combining both forms of therapy can offer deeper insight and faster progress. For more information about individual therapy at Guidepoint, click here.

Not at all. Many couples use therapy proactively—to maintain connection, strengthen communication, or navigate transitions before problems escalate.

The number of sessions depends on your goals and the issues you’d like to address. Some couples benefit from short-term support, while others prefer ongoing sessions to maintain growth and connection.

Couples therapy isn’t only about staying together — it’s also about gaining clarity, respect, and understanding. If separation becomes the healthiest choice, your therapist can help guide those conversations with compassion, helping both partners communicate constructively and plan next steps thoughtfully.

Personalized Treatment Tailored Just For You.

Every couple’s journey is unique, which is why we offer tailored treatment plans to meet your specific needs. Through virtual therapy sessions, our associates empower you and your partner understand the root causes of whatever challenges you are facing in your relationship. Together with your therapist, you will create a roadmap to building the relationship that both of you want.
