What is couples counseling?

Couples counseling involves you and your partner working with a licensed counselor or therapist toward specific goals to strengthen your relationship. Relationship difficulties can come from an array of issues. Couples counseling can offer insight into how your relationship works and the steps you can take to improve it. At Inner Peace Therapy and Wellness, you can take advantage of the practice’s telehealth services, which allow you to attend appointments via video call instead.
