Couples Therapy South Bay
Couples therapy presents a unique challenge. Every individual brings their own individual values and concerns to a relationship. It is when these values and concerns conflict that the relationship experiences a communication breakdown. Attending couples therapy once a week is most often not sufficient to repair a relationship. An hour of psychotherapy a week does not allow for the individual differences to be confronted and change to happen. How do you sort out a lifetime of differences or a relationship crisis one-hour a week?

The treatment is 5 weeks or longer depending on the problems There are 3 sessions a week scheduled. Each individual will be seen individually once a week as well as together as a couple once a week. Each session is 60 minutes.Why do we have to meet three times a week?
The biggest problem in a relationship is communication. So if you are experiencing communication difficulties how will you improve these communicate difficulties one hour a week together?

Are our individual session details communicated to our partner?
Confidentiality will apply to the information communicated during individual time. The “no secrets policy” that you often hear about with couples Therapists does not apply.
