COUPLES’ THERAPY & MARRIAGE COUNSELING

Why Do Couples Need Therapy?

At Birch Psychology, we believe that every relationship can be revitalized and improved with unbiased and nonjudgmental support. This is because every couple will face challenges in life that are difficult to overcome, to understand, and to learn from.

And regardless of compatibility, every person is different: we all cope differently, we all perceive differently, and we all have our personal biases. Over time, our biases often evolve into expectations, which challenge our relationships when we feel these expectations aren’t being met.

By stepping out of your comfort zone and into a safe space for open communication, you’re better able to express your needs, desires, and disappointments. With guidance from experts, you’ll improve your understanding of yourself, your partner, and your relationship.

Does Marriage Counseling Help Couples?

Yes! In fact, according to the American Psychological Association, couples therapy is up to 75% effective.

Additionally, up to 66% of participants may also see an improvement in their physical well-being in general. Of course, results may vary, but just the willingness to work on your partnership implies a desire to improve yourself and your contribution to the relationship.

People who participate in marriage counseling improve their ability to communicate, listen, and empathize with their partner. These skills are vital for facilitating long-term relationships built on mutual trust and understanding.
