Question 1

What happens in a couples therapy session?

Accepted Answer

If you have never done couples therapy, it is natural to wonder what the hour will be like. It depends on the therapist, so the clearest way to know is to ask the person you are considering.

Question 2

How do couples therapists stay neutral?

On Alma, browse therapists in Milton who work with couples and read how each one describes their approach to balance.

Question 3

Can we have some sessions on our own in couples therapy?

Accepted Answer

You may want a session on your own to say something you are still sorting out. A therapist can explain whether they offer individual sessions within couples work and how they handle what is shared in them. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Milton who work with couples and ask about this before you book.

Question 4

How do I bring up couples therapy with a reluctant partner?

Can my partner and I join a session from different places?
