Portland Marriage Counseling & Couples Therapy
What is the difference between a couples counselor and a marriage counselor?
The terms couples therapy and marriage counseling can be used interchangeably. Most therapists who provide this form of therapy will work to help you and your partner meet your goals, whether you want to stay together or to separate amicably. However, some therapists, called marriage-friendly therapists, support the idea of marriage and encourage partners to stay together and work through their differences.
Most couples who seek couples counseling report that they would like to learn to communicate more effectively with each other. Other common concerns that couples bring to couples counseling in Portland include problems related to parenting, infidelity, finances, partners' families, blended families, substance abuse, sexual difficulties, cultural differences, infertility, retirement, and same-sex issues.
What should I expect in marital counseling?
Portland has therapists who draw from various theoretical backgrounds. Some marriage counselors prefer to see both partners for every session, while others see couples together and separately. All couples therapists will help you and your partner manage difficult emotions as you discuss your differences and strengths, whether you are seeking premarital counseling or couples therapy. Portland is here to help.
