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. Most will want to hear what brought you in and what each of you hopes changes. On Alma, you can browse therapists in Saugerties who work with couples.

Question 2

How do couples therapists stay neutral?

Accepted Answer

Feeling outnumbered is a real worry, especially if you are the one who was hesitant to come. Ask a therapist how they make sure each of you is heard and what they do if one of you feels blamed. On Alma, browse therapists in Saugerties who work with couples and read how each one describes their approach to balance.

Question 3

Does my partner need to come every time?

Accepted Answer

If one of you cannot make every session, that does not have to stop you. Ask a therapist how they handle missed joint sessions and when they would meet with one partner alone. In Alma's Saugerties directory, filter therapists who work with couples and compare how each one describes their setup.

Question 4

Can I start couples therapy if my partner is hesitant?

On Alma, save a few therapists in Saugerties who work with couples and share the profiles with your partner.

Can unmarried couples see a couples therapist?
