Couples Therapy

Couples therapy begins with an intake session where both partners meet with a licensed therapist to discuss their relationship history, concerns, and goals. This collaborative conversation lays the foundation for a shared understanding and outlines a path for progress. Each session provides space for both voices to be heard while introducing strategies that enhance communication and reduce defensiveness. The therapist acts as a neutral guide, helping couples pause reactive cycles and work toward emotional repair. Whether the focus is improving day-to-day communication or addressing deeper wounds, each appointment builds on the previous one to create lasting change. Couples often learn to replace blame with curiosity, shift conflict into connection, and develop empathy for one another’s experiences. Homework between sessions may include reflective exercises or structured conversations to reinforce the skills learned in therapy. Frequency of sessions is tailored to the couple’s pace, with some attending weekly and others choosing bi-weekly or monthly check-ins. This service supports a wide range of needs—from everyday stress to serious disconnection—and respects each couple’s unique dynamic and values. By the end of treatment, many couples report improved intimacy, greater emotional safety, and a renewed sense of partnership. At Norma Henriquez PL, couples therapy is not about being perfect—it’s about building something meaningful, together.
