Do we have to attend every session together as a couple?

Not necessarily. While many sessions involve both partners, it’s common—and sometimes beneficial—for each individual to attend some sessions alone. This allows space to explore personal concerns, emotions, or patterns that may be difficult to process with a partner present. At JK Therapy, we’ll collaborate with you to decide what structure works best for your goals. Flexibility is key to ensuring both partners feel safe, supported, and fully engaged in the process.

How long does marriage counseling usually take?

The length of marriage counseling depends on the complexity of the issues, your goals as a couple, and how often you attend sessions. Some couples find relief and clarity within a few weeks, especially when working through a specific issue. Others benefit from a longer-term approach that allows for deeper healing and growth. At JK Therapy, we’ll discuss your goals early on and revisit them regularly to ensure your time in therapy remains purposeful and effective.

Is everything we say in therapy confidential?

Yes, your privacy is protected. What you share during sessions is confidential, with a few legal exceptions such as safety concerns. This confidentiality applies whether you're attending as a couple or individually. At JK Therapy, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful environment where you can speak freely and honestly. Trust is the foundation of effective therapy, and your comfort is always a top priority.

Our Specialized Method for Healing Together

Our approach to marriage counseling and marriage therapy focuses on more than resolving disagreements; it’s about identifying the deeper emotional and psychological patterns that impact your relationship. We help couples explore how individual stress, unresolved trauma, anxiety, or depression may be influencing daily interactions. By gaining insight into these core issues, both partners can better understand one another’s needs and behaviors. This self-awareness creates a strong foundation for lasting, meaningful change.
