Question 1

How does a first couples session work?

Accepted Answer

You and your partner may picture this differently, and that is worth talking about before you book.

Question 2

Will the therapist take my partner's side?

Question 3

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

On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Lafayette who work with couples and ask about this before you book.

Question 4

What if my partner is not sure about therapy?

Accepted Answer
