About First Session
What is couples therapy?

Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy where a trained therapist works with two partners to help them understand their relationship patterns, improve communication, and address specific concerns. Sessions typically involve both partners and focus on the relationship dynamics rather than individual issues, though personal experiences may come up as they relate to the partnership.

How can couples therapy help our relationship?

Couples therapy may help partners develop better communication skills, understand each other's perspectives more deeply, and work through conflicts in a healthier way. Many couples find it helpful for navigating major transitions like moving, career changes, or becoming parents. It can also provide a space to reconnect and strengthen your bond when life gets busy or challenging.

What happens in a couples therapy session?

In a typical session, the therapist creates a space where both partners can share their thoughts and feelings. You might discuss recent challenges, explore recurring patterns, or practice new communication techniques. The therapist acts as a neutral guide, helping you both feel heard while offering insights and tools to support your relationship.

How do we find the right couples therapist?

Finding the right fit is important since you'll both be working with this person. On First Session, you can browse therapist profiles and watch intro videos together to get a sense of their approach and personality. Look for someone who seems warm, non-judgmental, and experienced in the areas you want to address. Many therapists offer free consultations so you can see if it feels like a good match.

Is couples therapy right for us?

Couples therapy can be helpful at many stages—whether you're facing a specific challenge, wanting to improve communication, or simply looking to strengthen your connection. It's not just for relationships in crisis. Many couples find value in working with a therapist proactively. If you're both open to the process and willing to engage, it can be a meaningful investment in your relationship.

How do we get started with couples therapy?

Getting started is straightforward. Browse therapists on First Session who specialize in couples work. Watch their intro videos together to find someone you both feel comfortable with. Once you've found a good match, you can book a session directly through the platform. Many therapists offer online sessions, making it easier to find a time that works for both of your schedules.
