What is a couples therapy?
Couples therapy—sometimes referred to as relationship therapy or marriage counseling—is a type of psychotherapy that helps two people improve their relationship. In sessions, both partners have a safe, neutral space to express concerns, resolve conflicts, and learn new ways to connect.
The process focuses on understanding underlying dynamics, improving communication, and strengthening the bond between you and your partner. By working together with a licensed therapist, couples can find healthier ways to relate, rebuild trust, and create a stronger foundation for the future.
When do I need a couples therapy?
There is no “perfect moment” to start therapy. Many couples wait until conflicts escalate, but therapy can be helpful at any stage. You may benefit from couples therapy in New York if you:
- Feel distant or disconnected from your partner
- Argue frequently without resolution
- Struggle with trust, jealousy, or infidelity
- Face stress from work, finances, or family responsibilities
- Want to prepare your relationship for marriage or major changes

How does the couples therapy in New York work?
In Daniel Criado Mental Health, couples therapy in New York follows a structured yet flexible process. We begin with an initial assessment to understand your history, challenges, and shared goals as a couple. From there, therapy sessions provide a safe environment where both partners can engage in open, guided conversations facilitated by a licensed therapist.
As therapy progresses, you’ll learn practical skills to improve communication, manage conflicts, and rebuild trust. These tools are meant to be practiced outside of sessions to strengthen progress in daily life. We also offer ongoing support, available both in-person and through online couples therapy, so you and your partner can continue growing together wherever you are.
Frequently asked questions about couples therapy in NYC
What if the couples therapy hasn't worked for us in the past?

How much time does the couples therapy last?
The duration varies. Some couples only need short-term marriage counseling to resolve a specific issue, while others choose longer-term therapy for deeper changes. During your first sessions, we’ll discuss what feels right for your situation.
Is it a good idea to go to couples therapy even if we don’t have problems?
Yes. Many couples use therapy proactively to strengthen their bond, prepare for marriage, or simply maintain a healthy relationship. Couples therapy isn’t only for when problems exist—it can also be a powerful tool for growth and prevention.
