Benefits of couples counseling
Entering couples counseling can seem intimidating at first. Knowing what to expect eases anxiety and prepares you for the journey ahead.
Sessions typically begin with a one-hour assessment. This helps our counselors understand the dynamics of your relationship. Expect a safe, neutral space to express feelings. Open communication is encouraged to uncover underlying issues.
Counselors facilitate discussions to foster understanding and resolution. Each session builds towards improved relationship health. Confidentiality is key in our RMC counseling practice. It fosters trust, allowing couples to share openly without fear of judgment. This secure environment is crucial for genuine progress in sessions.
