Couples work can be challenging but also a way strengthen your relationship proactively.  As a therapist, my job is to help facilitate these conversations, not to determine “who’s rightâ€.  Improving communication, navigating the “re-entry” period, and building a support network are all important topics, especially for super commuter couples, in addition to others such as infidelity and parenting challenges.

While couples tend to seek counseling when they are having difficulties, therapy can also be useful in exploring relationships before challenges arise. Discussion of each person’s views on topics such as money, sex, work, friends, and family can be useful in the early stages of a relationship as well.
