Benefits of Couples Therapy

Couples therapy allows partners to recognize and resolve conflicts that are having an impact on their relationship. This form of psychotherapy and counseling is not only for couples enduring extreme problems, but also for those who require help navigating through their life and relationship. 

The most common benefits of couples therapy include improved communication skills, identifying the root cause of conflicts, encouraging acceptance, increasing shared support, and restoring both emotional and physical intimacy. Additionally, some benefits include resolving emotional detachment or avoidance, restoring emotional strength, improving relationship resilience, restoring trust, and providing an environment that allows partners to heal. 

Conflicts that are resolved during couples therapy can range from long-term distrust to new conflicts the couple has not endured yet. During sessions, the therapist will help their clients to identify and express their feelings about the relationship which in return helps to encourage self-awareness and personal growth. 

Anna Powers, LMFT, offers couples therapy here at Perspectives Anew Therapy and utilizes a range of therapeutic techniques during her sessions.
