What to Expect in Couples Therapy?

Written By Alejandro Daniel Pina, LMFT, MS

This might be the first time you’ve thought about pursuing couples therapy. Maybe you’re thinking about online couples counseling or couples therapy in person. Either way, you don’t know what to expect in couples therapy.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is one of a few specific modalities that a therapist can train and specialize in. Other couples therapy types include; Gottman, and Imago. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy will help you send the emotional messages you’ve wanted your partner to hear by first helping you understanding your own emotional responses.

Most couples expect to get surface level issues solved with couples counseling, but when working with an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, you will gain meaningful understanding to enhance support within your relationship.

With years of experience as a relationship counselor, I've probably seen it all. I'm Licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences and trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) by the ICEEFT, with a Masters of Science in Counseling Psychology. 

I utilize my EFT training in sessions with couples at different stages of their relationship and I offer premarital counseling.  Im an Inclusive Therapist providing LGBTQ Affirming and Latinx Therapy, and I work with interracial couples who may struggle with cultural differences.

I'm happy to explain the couples therapy process on a free call.
