Tampa Couples Counseling In-Person & Online

What to Expect in Tampa Couples Counseling

When you begin counseling, your first session will include both members of the couple meeting with your counselor. During this session, your counselor will take the time to get to know the struggles you have been experiencing, learn how you met, and discuss any goals you have for counseling. The next two sessions are individual sessions, providing each partner a safe space to share their personal perspective on the relationship. In these individual sessions, your counselor will explore your thoughts and feelings, as well as any experiences from your childhood or past relationships that may be impacting your current relationship. By the fourth session, your counselor will bring these insights together and share a plan for how to support your relationship moving forward, outlining the steps you can take together to strengthen your connection and achieve your goals.

After the fourth session, counseling moves into a personalized phase where each session is tailored to the unique needs of your relationship. Together with your counselor, you will focus on the specific challenges, goals, and patterns that are most important for you and your partner. Sessions may address
