When to Start Therapy for Relationships

First things first, you do not need to have a “problem” to start therapy. You read that right. You can start therapy even if things are going well. Actually, I would encourage you to!

Let’s take a look at an analogy. We go to the doctor for annual visits, or wellness checks, but we can also go when we’re not feeling well. Similar to the doctor’s, you can use therapy as an opportunity to maintain the progress you have made in your relationship or for a tune up.

Relationship therapy is unique in that it allows a third party, or the therapist, to see the dynamics live. The therapist is able to highlight patterns of interaction based on what they see, hear, and offer a different perspective. Relationship therapy is a great place for people to look within, create healthier relationships, and learn more about each other.

You may have noticed that I am using the term “Relationship Therapy” instead of “Couples Therapy.” I do that purposefully to encompass a broader population. When I say “relationship,” I am referring not only to couples, but to different types of partnerships, family relationships, and even friendships. Relationships look different to everyone and it doesn’t necessarily have to be two people or a romantic one to start therapy to help foster a healthier one.
