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 3

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