When Is It Time To Seek Couples Therapy?

How do you know when should you seek couples therapy instead of waiting for things to improve on their own?

  • You and your partner are stuck on the same issues.
  • You and your partner are fighting more often.
  • You think or know one of you has had an affair or is thinking of having an affair.
  • One (or both) of you wants out of the relationship.
  • You wonder if you really love your partner anymore or if your partner loves you.
  • Either of you thinks you are not having sex often enough, or it isn’t fulfilling or fun.
  • Your fights are escalating, and you’re afraid they will get out of control.
  • You feel like you can’t say or do anything right anymore without your partner getting angry, hurt or defensive.
  • You feel like you are walking on eggshells when your partner is around.
  • You can’t honestly communicate about what’s bothering you.
  • You would rather be alone than together.

Couples Therapy Questions

It’s common for one partner to be more ready than the other. If you’re feeling stuck, waiting for your partner to agree to therapy may only add to the frustration. Instead of waiting, starting therapy on your own can be a powerful step forward. Individual therapy helps you gain clarity, build relationship skills, and explore new ways to navigate challenges—whether your partner joins later or not.

If your partner is hesitant, we can also help you approach the conversation in a way that encourages openness rather than resistance. And if you decide to transition into couples therapy, you’ll work with a different therapist for joint sessions. This ensures both of you feel heard and supported while creating a balanced and neutral space to work through your relationship together.

Many couples worry that therapy will push them toward a decision they’re not ready to make. Therapy isn’t about telling you what to do—it’s about helping you and your partner break out of unhealthy patterns, communicate more effectively, and truly understand each other. Even when things feel hopeless, real change is possible with the right guidance.

Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or in a long-term partnership, our expert therapists provide structured, research-backed support to help you navigate challenges and make the best choice for your relationship. Some couples rebuild stronger than ever, while others gain clarity in parting ways with mutual understanding. Either way, therapy ensures you’re making a decision based on insight, not just frustration or fear. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

The length of therapy depends on your goals and the challenges you’re facing. Some couples see meaningful improvements in just a few sessions, while others benefit from deeper, ongoing work over several months. Regardless of the time it takes, the goal is real, lasting change—not just temporary relief.

Unlike a trial-and-error approach, our highly trained therapists use advanced diagnostic skills and research-backed methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method to quickly identify the root of your challenges. With multiple specialties, a team-based environment, and a range of therapeutic approaches, we create a clear, targeted plan to help you make meaningful progress as efficiently as possible. For those looking for faster results, we also offer intensive sessions designed to accelerate breakthroughs while maintaining long-term success.

It’s normal to feel like things are beyond repair after a betrayal. When trust is shattered, it can seem impossible to rebuild—but research shows 85% of relationships can recover from an affair with the right support and commitment. Healing isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about creating a path forward and determining whether rebuilding is right for you.

Therapy provides a structured process to help you understand what’s possible for your relationship. Our therapists don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—we use specialized infidelity recovery methods to help you reestablish emotionally safety, rebuild trust, and process the betrayal.

Even in the most painful situations, couples who commit to the process often find therapy leads to deeper honesty, stronger connection, and a relationship built on new, more secure foundations. You don’t have to decide alone—therapy can help you see what’s possible.
