Does couples therapy work?

Yes couples therapy works, but you have to be prepared to work at it. The biggest issue we face with couples in therapy is that couples often leave it so long to get help that they need even more assistance to get back to a happy and healthy place. On average couples who seek therapy usually do so after approximately 6 years of issues. That is like breaking your arm and waiting for months to get it checked out and then you need to get it re-broken to set it straight.
