In couples counseling, the focus isn’t on one person or the other as “the problem.” Instead, the relationship itself and the unique way these two people interact with each other, drives therapy forward. People seek out couples counseling for many reasons, such as: 

​

• Trust issues 

• Infidelity 

• Life transitions such as job loss, retirement, having a baby, moving, etc. 

• Intimacy 

• Communication obstacles  

• Blended families 

• Divorcing amicably to help the children feel more stable 

​

There may be times when one partner does struggle outside of the relationship as well. In those cases, it is important for that person to also get individual counseling on their own. It means couples therapy can remain more balanced so both people can move forward together.
