Many Couples Seek Professional Therapy
At Plan Purpose Counseling, couples therapy offers a solution-focused approach to help partners navigate the complexities of their relationship. Whether you’re struggling with communication breakdowns, trust issues, or navigating major life changes together, our therapy sessions provide a safe, neutral space to work through challenges. Couples therapy helps you and your partner reconnect, gain a deeper understanding of each other, and develop the tools to foster a healthy, lasting relationship.
Couples therapy is not about taking sides or assigning blame. It’s about helping both partners express their needs, identify recurring patterns that lead to conflict, and build stronger foundations based on trust and mutual respect. Through couples therapy, many couples find that their relationship feels more stable and fulfilling. Areas of focus may include:
Enhancing Communication
Couples therapy teaches you and your partner how to communicate more effectively. You’ll learn to express your thoughts and feelings openly while also improving your ability to listen and empathize with one another.
Resolving Conflict
From recurring arguments to unresolved tension, therapy provides strategies to address conflicts in a productive, respectful way. Our approach equips you with the tools to manage disagreements constructively, without damaging your connection.
Rebuilding Trust
Trust is the cornerstone of any strong relationship. Couples therapy helps rebuild trust by addressing issues such as infidelity, secrecy, or emotional distance, fostering a deeper sense of security and intimacy between partners.
Improving Emotional Intimacy
Therapy can reignite emotional intimacy by creating a space for vulnerability, allowing you and your partner to reconnect on a deeper level. This can help address feelings of distance or emotional disconnection that may have developed over time.

Duration of Therapy
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Depending on your unique history, experiences, and goals; counseling may be short-term, lasting 6-8 sessions, or more extended therapy which can be anywhere from 6 months to years. I believe that there should be an ongoing dialogue during counseling, from initial contact to termination, about the process, goals and how it is working. We will discuss together how often and how long you will continue therapy. I find that regular sessions initially help to ensure you get your needs met and we can form a strong partnership. The goal is to assure that you are getting the best quality care to meet your needs.
