FAQs

If you and your partner are experiencing communication challenges, trust issues, recurring conflicts, intimacy struggles, or major life transitions, couples therapy in Merrillville, IN can help. Even healthy relationships benefit from therapy to deepen understanding and enhance connection.
The duration of couples therapy varies depending on your goals and challenges. Some couples benefit from a few sessions, while others work with a therapist for several months. During your first session, your couples counselor will develop a personalized plan tailored to your relationship.
During sessions, partners discuss relationship challenges, explore behavior patterns, and learn effective communication and conflict-resolution skills. Therapists may use evidence-based approaches like Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Therapy, or Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support healthy relationship growth.
While couples therapy works best when both partners attend, some sessions may include individual counseling. Individual sessions help address personal challenges that affect the relationship and complement joint couples therapy.
