Couples Therapy
Arguments and challenging times in relationships are typical. When they become too prevalent and harmful patterns become ingrained in the relationship, couples’ bonds weaken and can face challenges. Couples therapy can help partners strengthen their communication and negotiation, helping reignite affection and passion in the relationship.
If your relationship is not as happy as you hoped, couples therapy can help you and your partner reconnect. At Greenwich Psychology Group, we aim to help both partners feel safe and get close again while rebuilding their emotional and physical relationship. Our expert clinicians remain respectful and neutral to both partners, ensuring each person can express their feelings and concerns in a safe and unbiased environment.
We offer couples therapy near Greenwich, Connecticut, and Manhattan, New York.
What Is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy helps individuals in a relationship, whether romantic, platonic, or professional, work through their conflicts and dive deeper into their relationship patterns to see why conflicts have emerged. Therapists help resolve couples' current issues while teaching effective communication to help prevent future or worsening problems.
Common issues you can address in couples therapy include:
- Communication
- Finances
- Emotional distance
- Conflict
- Parenting
- Family Issues
- Infidelity
- Substance issues
Therapy typically begins with questions regarding the history of your relationship leading up to the beginning of the issues. The couple also discusses common problems they have regarding each other and why they are in therapy. Once both partners and the therapist understand what is happening, the therapist can begin developing treatment objectives and a plan for achieving them. You can sign up for marital and couples counseling near Greenwich, CT, or Manhattan, New York, at Greenwich Psychology Group.
How Long Does Couples Therapy Take to Work?
The length of couples therapy is different for every couple, depending on their motivation, relationship status, and the goals set at the beginning of treatment. Some couples may take a few months, whereas others may take longer to improve their relationship.
Benefits of Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is an excellent way for couples to look at their relationship objectively and work toward a common goal, from having better communication to reestablishing trust and affection. Couples therapy provides many benefits, including:
- Teaching practical and strategic coping skills.
- Providing a safe space for vulnerability and honesty.
- Gaining a deeper understanding of your relationship dynamic.
- Resolving relationship roadblocks.
- Improving communication skills.
- Developing self-awareness and working on personal growth.
Understanding each other and being willing to listen to each other’s perspectives ensures both partners have an equal chance of strengthening the relationship. Counseling for power couples can help individuals bring out the best in each other. If both partners tend to be workaholics, therapy can help them prioritize their relationship. Couples therapy for workaholic partners and power couples ensures each partner receives the love and affection they desire.
Similarly, couples therapy for high achievers can help each partner focus on their emotional relationship, ensuring their feelings are reciprocated and that one person isn’t working on the relationship more than the other.
Couples Therapy for Business Partners
Couples therapy isn’t just for people in romantic relationships. People in business partnerships can benefit from couples therapy just as much as romantic partners. Many of the dynamics between both types of partners are the same — communication, decision-making, trust, and more are vital to a successful business relationship. Working closely together for a long time can cause tensions and fights more often. Couples therapy can help business partners see each other’s perspectives and work on their differences.

Take the GPG Symptom Checker
At Greenwich Psychology Group, our symptom checker helps clients track their symptoms of depression or anxiety. Taking the assessment doesn't provide a formal diagnosis, but it can help you determine what next steps you may need to take. The evaluation uses a series of questions to review the feelings and symptoms you've experienced over the past two weeks. The results will help you distinguish if professional help is the best next step.
