When to consider couples therapy?
Many people think that couples therapy is only for when a relationship is in crisis. However, more and more couples are seeking therapy preventively and before the situation escalates into a crisis.
Couples therapy typically lasts for a short period, around 3–20 sessions, but it can also extend for a longer period. The most typical duration is fewer than 10 sessions, depending on your situation and needs.
