When to Seek Couples Therapy

Couples should consider seeking therapy when they experience ongoing conflicts, communication breakdowns, or emotional distance that feels difficult to resolve on their own. Therapy can be especially helpful if issues such as trust, intimacy, or unresolved arguments are creating tension or if one or both partners feel disconnected, misunderstood, or unsupported. Additionally, major life changes—such as becoming parents, career transitions, or dealing with trauma or loss—can put added stress on a relationship. Therapy provides a neutral space where couples can explore these challenges, learn healthy communication skills, and rebuild emotional intimacy, helping to strengthen their relationship and prevent further strain
