FAQs
Marriage counseling sessions are generally confidential, and therapists adhere to professional ethics and legal obligations to protect your privacy. However, it’s important to discuss confidentiality with your therapist during the initial sessions to understand their specific policies and limitations.
The timeline for seeing results can vary based on the complexity of the issues and the commitment of the couple. Some couples may notice positive changes early on, while others may require more time and consistent effort. It’s important to approach marriage counseling with realistic expectations and be patient with the process.
It’s common for one partner to be initially hesitant about attending marriage counseling. It can be helpful to have an open and non-confrontational conversation with your partner, expressing your concerns and the potential benefits of counseling. You can suggest attending an initial session together to see if it feels comfortable and helpful. If your partner remains resistant, you can consider individual counseling to gain insights and support for yourself.
