How long will it take to feel better?
Every couple is different, but many begin to feel some relief or progress within the first few sessions as communication improves and understanding deepens. Long-term change depends on the nature of your challenges, your commitment to the process, and the goals you set together—but with consistency and openness, couples often notice meaningful growth within 10 to 15 sessions.
How often should I attend therapy?
Initially most will attend weekly appointments and then decrease the frequency. Every couple is different, so some may come a couple times a week and some every few weeks. Once you meet with your therapist you will develop a plan that works for both of you.
