Individual therapy or talk therapy, also known as counseling or psychotherapy, is a process where a person gains awareness of and resolves their emotional problems. Talk therapy was named this way because of the therapy process, which is usually a structured conversation (talking!) between the therapist and their client. Talk therapy has been practiced for over one hundred years, and started as an art and grew into an evidence-based practice that has allowed millions of people the opportunity to overcome their anxiety, depression, resolve/heal from painful past experiences, change self-destructive patterns, and improve their interpersonal relationships.

Couples therapy is similar to individual therapy with it being mainly talk therapy, but with two people who are usually in an intimate relationship (but not always). Couples therapy works! Couples therapy and specific modalities associated with it (Cognitive Behavioral Couples Therapy, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy) have more than enough evidence to be considered well-established treatments for relationship distress. The goal during couples therapy will be to help the couple by combating conflicting verbal communication and to increase affection, respect, and intimacy between partners. During the process the couple will remove barriers to their relationship such as defensiveness, criticism, contempt, and stonewalling. All of the previous barriers to a healthy relationship can cause hopelessness, stagnancy, and frustration between the couple. One of the benefits of couples therapy can include creating a heightened sense of empathy, understanding, and patience for each other within the relationship.
