What is Couples Therapy
Relationships are filled with both joys and challenges, and sometimes couples need extra support to navigate difficult times. At Green Family Therapy, couples therapy is designed to help you and your partner strengthen communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen your connection. Whether you’re facing recurring disagreements, intimacy concerns, or navigating a major life transition, couples therapy provides a safe space to work through these challenges together.
