What is Couples Counseling?

Couples counseling offers a safe, structured environment for partners to explore their unique perspectives of the relationship. Conversations about past events in a relationship, changes in perspective, and future possibilities can feel overwhelming and difficult to manage.

Our psychologists act as neutral facilitators in this process and help by providing support and structure to make these discussions more manageable to navigate during therapy while respecting both individuals' views.

When is it a good time to seek Relationship Counseling?

Although many couples turn to therapy at a point of crisis, such as after an affair or other major issue, it can also be beneficial to find a therapist sooner.

  • Highly emotional, repetitive conflict cycles
  • Lack of trust and jealousy issues
  • Insecurity in the relationship or fear of abandonment
  • Difficulty communicating effectively or reaching mutual understanding
  • Disconnection that feels like a lack of support and understanding
  • Feeling ignored or undervalued by the other partner

What you can expect in Marriage and Couples Counseling at Williamsburg Therapy Group.

Couples therapy at Williamsburg starts with some initial questions to get a better understanding of the relationship. We want to learn about you and your partner as individuals and as a couple so we can gain insight on what brought you to therapy and what you hope to get out of it.

STEP ONE:

Define The Problem

Couples therapy begins by examining the relationship and determining the sources of friction and conflict. This stage can often feel like the "most awkward" part of couples therapy, as it requires partners to open up about feelings and observations that may have kept to themselves.

It's crucial to remember, during this stage, that your relationship is not defined by its challenges but rather by how you and your partner think about and strive to improve those problems.

STEP TWO:

Build Trust and Empathy

Your Williamsburg psychologist will provide you with specific, actionable advice on how to enhance your relationships, but trust and empathy are at the heart of all conflict resolution skills. As such, the second stage of your couples therapy session will focus on rebuilding the connection that once defined the relationship.

Only after establishing this foundation can your therapist begin to analyze and develop solutions for your specific case.

STEP THREE:

Find a Solution That Works

Once you've identified what the problems in your relationship are and established a general sense of empathy between you and your partner, your relationship, you'll be ready to implement the solutions. These solutions may address various aspects of the relationship, including, improving communication, being more upfront about wants and needs, forgiving infidelity or other past traumas, changing problematic behaviors.


This step often involves a lot of work as your therapist begins to encourage each partner to make changes. Generally, the goal of couples therapy is to increase relationship satisfaction.

STEP FOUR:

Staying Healthy After Couples Therapy

Once the relationship is back on track, couples often feel ready to discontinue sessions and employ the skills they learned in their daily lives. Your therapist will work with you to establish new rules, new plans, and new interaction methods that are all aimed at helping you and your partner maintain a healthy and satisfying relationship without ongoing counseling.

Here are three ways your relationship can continue to stay healthy after couples counseling.
