Couples Therapy is treatment provided to address relational conflicts, communication patterns, and systemic influences that affect the well-being of the participants and their ways of interacting, relating, and resolving problems. It is intended to assist couples in exploring influences from their family of origin, increase awareness of how their relational problems developed and are maintained, and practice new ways of communicating to enhance their emotional connection. Systemic patterns and treatment goals are identified through an initial evaluation and addressed through use of various relational interventions.
