What happens during couple therapy sessions?

Successful relationship counseling can provide a container to help one or both members of the partnership feel safe enough to express deeply-felt needs, longings and concerns, as well as disappointments, frustration and anger. Whether you seek counseling because of a longstanding problem, or a new circumstance, therapy can help you gain the insight and clarity to move forward and heal.

Patterns and dynamics that are frequently recreated within the relationship are some of the most common and complex problems that couples face. Many seek therapy because they struggle with communication problems or they have high-conflict relationships, with tension, fighting and resentment. A trained professional can see these dynamics through a clear lens, which can address the confusion that couples experience when conflicts arise. An experienced marriage or couples counselor can help you build the tools you need to have healthier and skilled communication patterns, which can restore intimacy and lead to a more satisfying relationship.

We counsel clients in all stages of relationships, which may bean coming together and finally connecting with a healthy partner, or falling apart and finding the courage to leave a relationship. Many of our clients also seek counseling to address intimacy concerns or heal from an emotional or physical betrayal.

Some common problems that we see in our practice include parenting difficulties, infertility, sexual concerns, blended-family strife, work/life balance, unresolved trauma, undiagnosed mental illness or a problem with alcohol or addictions, changes in values and goals and more. We offer a safe space for you to dig a little deeper and create the relationship you desire.

Our relationship therapists honor diversity and strive to make our services accessible to everyone, working with people from diverse cultural background, Kink, poly, LGTBQ+and all forms of traditional or non-traditional couples.

How To Find The Right Therapist For You In Bozeman Montana

It can feel overwhelming when you decide to work with a therapist. Our modern world makes finding a therapist online somewhat easier, but there are so many qualified therapists to choose from. Many people begin their therapy search using a popular website called Psychology Today because there are many search options, which makes the process somewhat more streamlined, but still challenging. You may want a counselor with certain skills or life-experience, or gender, race or religion may also play a role for you. When searching for a counselor or psychologist in Montana, it’s important to find someone who not only has the skills, experience and training to help you with your concerns, but someone with whom you feel comfortable—therapists call this a “good fit.” Finding the right therapist for you is the most important aspect of effective therapy and healing, as healing tends to happen in the context of supportive and corrective relationships. If you have been referred by a friend, colleague or physician, we will consider this as well. If we do not feel like we are a good fit for you, we will always make a referral with other experienced counselors within the community.

After you reach out, you will be sent electronic versions of our intake paperwork, which includes confidentiality, policy and insurance information to be completed prior to your first session. If you will be conducting sessions virtually or online, you will be sent a link prior to your session time. When working virtually, we use a HIPPA-compliant video conferencing platform called SimplePractice, which we think is easy and convenient to use. Early sessions will be an opportunity to get to know you better and to clarify your counseling goals. Typically sessions are weekly as this gives you the opportunity to develop a relationship with your therapist. Sometimes, if you are experiencing a personal or professional crisis, you may need to meet more frequently. Experience tells us that therapy is most effective when it is weekly and consistent. As treatment goals are met, you will have the opportunity to reevaluate your ongoing counseling needs.
