TALK TO AN EXPERT

What to Expect in Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is a place couples can go to gain perspective and learn how to improve their relationship. When both individuals approach therapy with an open mind, couples therapy can teach struggling couples how to love again. The approach we use focuses on listening to the couple’s needs and asking questions about the relationship. Both initial elements are essential for getting to know the couple and finding the root problems. Effective couples therapy takes an objective look at the relationship and helps couples locate the real issues hidden beneath the inter-relational frustrations.

Miscommunication is at the root of many relationship problems. Robin Bryant, Ph.D. is here to help couples see their love in a new way and provide effective communication strategies. Not only will you learn how to effectively express your emotions to your partner, but you’ll also learn how to engage in active listening. We are here to help you fix your relationship, but the skills you develop will be rewarding in many facets of your life. Whether it is your relationship with family, friends, or colleagues, you’ll learn a great wealth of knowledge at our sessions that will contribute to your emotional well-being. If you think you could benefit from couples therapy or learn more about our approach, please contact us today.

A Collaborative Approach to Marriage Counseling

Marriage counseling works best when both parties are willing to work with a counselor to identify and address issues holding the relationship back. Often, a series of appointments are needed to cover a wide range of topics, including learning and practicing the tools and skills needed to overcome obstacles, strengthen communication, build trust, and much more.

Our professionals will work with you and your partner to build a safe, judgment-free atmosphere where you can feel at ease sharing your trouble, fears, and concerns. The number of sessions required will ultimately be up to you and your partner. We suggest planning for between 8 and 20.

Our collaborative approach is designed to make you feel comfortable setting each session's pace and goals. With that said, we're always here to give guidance whenever you need assistance, more information, or a new way to approach a dynamic situation.

Since no two couples are alike, and we all face different challenges, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for rebuilding trust and intimacy. Our training, diverse background, and exceptional listening skills allow us to tailor strategies that align with your unique situation.

A risk-free consultation would give you the opportunity to learn more about how we can help you rekindle romance, deal with trauma, and look forward to the process of building your future together. Connect with our representatives to schedule an appointment today.

What Is the Most Common Problem Addressed in Couples Therapy

A lack of cohesive communication is the most common problem we address in couples therapy today. When two people in a relationship are feeling a disconnect when trying to discuss their concerns, it can be easy for misunderstandings to be the catalyst for many of the things that are bringing pain or strain into your lives.

During our sessions, we'll unpack strategies to build honest, open, and productive discussion that gives you a foundation on which to approach solving more significant issues together.

In addition to helping bring couples together with actionable communication strategies, we also specialize in working through:

Discernment Counseling

Are you a high-conflict couple? Has the thought of filing for divorce crossed one or both of your minds more than once? If so, our discernment counseling sessions could offer the missing tools to stop your relationship from going down a path you'd both like to avoid.

Suppose you've tried everything you can think of but still feel disconnected. In that case, we're happy to help you regain control with valuable strategies that can reignite passion and help you appreciate and value your time together. Don't be afraid to contact our team with any questions you have.

Intimacy Counseling

Is the lack of intimacy in your relationship driving a wedge between you and your partner? Perhaps it's time to consider intimacy counseling as a chance to rediscover some of the very things that made you fall for one another in the first place.

It's not always easy to know where to start when it comes to unlocking your partner's heart, opening up your own, and meeting each other's current needs. We're here to guide you through the process, creating a comfortable and neutral atmosphere where you can feel safe to explore your feelings.

Healing Your Relationship Starts Here

Many people having relationship problems do not want to attend couples therapy. Couples therapy does help people heal their relationship, but it requires the willful participation of a couple dedicated to improving their love life. Chances are, if you are looking at signing up for couples therapy, you have a good chance of improving your relationship because even the preliminary step of seeking out help shows you care.

As you begin to attend the sessions, you will notice that you will be doing a lot of the talking. Discussing complex subjects in a safe environment is a large part of the service. When in the therapeutic setting, you'll see that instead of devolving into a shouting match, we will discuss issues with articulation and thoughtfulness. Robin Bryant, Ph.D. will guide conversations by using evidence-backed therapeutic strategies. All of which are designed to help couples locate their problems and communicate about them better.

Signs of Relationship Breakdown

It is not uncommon for couples to take on conflict without the assistance of a certified couples therapist. While attempting to work through conflict is an excellent first step, it could be time to seek outside help if you notice little to no signs of improvement. Neglecting to resolve issues or putting them on the back burner often leads to increased negativity among one or both partners, particularly if someone's needs are being neglected. The unfortunate truth is that this often leads to relationship breakdown, causing further disconnect between the couple. If you suspect your relationship is in the midst of a breakdown, here is a list of the more pronounced early warning signs:

  • You spend less time together doing couple-relevant activities
  • One or both partners spend a significant amount of time on activities outside the relationship
  • You have routine arguments about the same issues
  • One of both partners constantly feels dissatisfied and unfulfilled
  • One of more partners has had intimate relationships outside of the relationship
  • Very little communication goes on when you're together and you've become accustomed to silence

It is important to recognize that while these behaviors can indicate relationship breakdown, the best way to assess them is with a couples therapist.

Without the appropriate approach to resolving these issues, it may trigger the start of a lonely journey. At Robin Bryant, Ph.D., our team of qualified therapists is skilled at working with couples to find solutions to the challenges they face. We do this by taking a compassionate approach in working to restore healthy communication, which is fundamental for any relationship to thrive.

We provide therapy that utilizes both emotional and behavioral approaches backed by evidence and are proven to provide effective and lasting change by providing couples with new ways to look at their relationship and communicate.

Relationship Therapy for Every Couple

The beautiful thing about love and partnership is that every pair and every relationship is unique. We know couples feel the pressure to be perfect, but the reality is that sharing your life with someone can be messy. Getting along and seeing eye to eye 100% of the time is very rare.

When you seek out counseling from Robin Bryant, Ph.D., we will meet you and your partner at your location of choice. We will take the time to understand the challenges you are facing and discuss what elements of your relationship are not living up to your expectations.

Our goal is to help both members of the partnership create a union that is enriching and beneficial to their needs, and often communication is a big part of that.

Couples Therapy Based on Communication

Most often, couples will experience challenges in their relationship due to communication issues. It can be difficult to be open and honest about your feelings, and if you are hiding anything from your partner, the relationship can become strained.

Our counseling services attempt to create a comfortable environment where you can rejuvenate your communication and work through the challenging thoughts, feelings, and emotions you both have. Our therapist can provide you with the tools and techniques you need to come to a better understanding of one another and hopefully repair your bond.

Benefits of Couples Therapy

Couples therapy sessions offer many benefits to patients who attend regularly and put forth the effort. It is a way of enhancing a couple's overall relationship which involves therapy sessions. It seeks to enhance communication between those involved and it requires the participation of both parties.

In addition to enhancing communication, there are many other invaluable benefits which include:

  • It helps partners with becoming more emotionally open with one another.
  • It educates couples on how to identify each other's values and beliefs.
  • It can help couples understand each other's triggers.
  • Couples can learn how to detect conflict better and how to approach it in a healthy way.
  • It benefits any children living in the household who witness the ongoing conflict.
  • It can improve the overall intimacy between the couple.

While miscommunication is the root of many relationship problems, it only represents a small aspect of couple breakdown. If miscommunication is not repaired early enough, it can create a subset of issues that will further deteriorate the relationship. This is why it is essential to look at the overall benefit of couples therapy because many of the added benefits will help to strengthen your relationship. Furthermore, it will help the couple recognize areas of concern that went unidentified, which is an essential step in dealing with relationship breakdown.

Whether you're dealing with mild conflict or unresolved long-term disconnect, we are confident you'll leave our sessions with a refined way of looking at your relationship that will contribute to its overall health. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us today if you and your partner are ready for a healthy approach to couples therapy.

Any issue in your relationship can be addressed and can be dealt with in a couples counseling session. Some of the most frequent topics of discussion include parenting issues, family issues, and infidelities.

Couples therapy is also an ideal location to discuss various forms of addiction, such as substance abuse, gambling, work, or otherwise. Dealing with grief and loss as well as major changes in your relationship, can be properly articulated and dealt with in couple’s therapy.

What to Expect in Couples Therapy

Many couples, both married and unmarried, have areas of their relationship they’d like to improve. If you’re working towards building a life partnership with someone, it’s important that you feel you can be open and honest with them. But unresolved arguments and past traumas have funny ways of sneaking up on you and jeopardizing the relationships you hold most dear.

Three Things to Consider when Starting Couples Therapy

Couples thinking about attending couples counselling already have a big hurdle in front of them: the hard work that’s required to fix unproductive coping strategies in a relationship. So to make sure your experience in couples therapy gets off to the right start, we at the office of Robin Bryant, Ph.D. have prepared this list of key things to keep in mind when starting couples therapy in New York. Read them here:

  1. Come Prepared With Answers to Basic Questions
  2. Your therapist Robin Bryant, Ph.D. is here to help you resolve issues that are taking away from the enjoyment and value of your partnership. Your initial few sessions will be about getting to know you and your partner and explore the basic aspects of your relationship dynamic. At our practice, we take the time to learn about you and your relationship so that we can deliver more effective, personalized guidance. Expect some questions about your experiences in childhood—they’re important for any therapeutic process!

    It helps if you can come prepared with some general information about yourself and your relationship. Unlike many aspects of your relationship, this should be done individually, although you and your partner should agree on the goal of attending couples therapy together.

  3. Think about Your Role in Starting Conflicts
  4. In order to resolve any conflict, it’s important to consider how each partner contributes to starting and prolonging disputes. We recommend that our clients think about the dynamics of their relationship and how their own behavior might be preventing a swift and successful resolution to conflicts. Rather than pointing the finger at someone else, be reflective—and proactive. Think about what you can do to start changing your attitude and approach to conflicts so that you can sow the seeds for a productive relationship.

    Of course, we’ll develop these skills together in therapy. Dr. Bryant will help you identify the ways each partner contributes to conflict, and what they can do to resolve it more effectively. She’s here to help you develop effective communication techniques so that you can discuss your needs in a healthy and productive way.

  5. Be Open to Compromise
  6. Relationships are a two-way street, and any healthy one will require compromise. It can, however, be challenging to open up to the idea when both relationship partners feel attacked and want to dig their heels in. In such cases, Dr. Bryant will give you the tools you need to develop empathy for each other. To facilitate that, however, it’s important to come ready to compromise.

    What Dr. Bryant lends is perspective: She allows each partner to take a step back and realize the consequences of their actions. She’s giving you the opportunity to learn not just about your partner’s behavior, but your own. That way, we can work together to understand each other, build empathy, and lay the groundwork for a bright future.

How Long Does Couples Therapy Take?

This isn’t a question we can quickly answer, but we can reassure you that the couples therapy you’ll receive from Robin Bryant, Ph.D. is quick and targeted. We promise that:

  • We won’t rehash every fight you’ve ever had. Robin Bryant, Ph.D. needs a basic picture of your relationship history, but couples therapy is about solving problems in the here and now. We’ll listen to your grievances, but we’ll focus on what issues are most pressing in the present and work from there.
  • We’ll work with you to set short-term goals. Therapy succeeds when everyone involved—you, your partner, and your therapist—has a clear goal to move towards. Couples therapy is meant to be short-term. While that’s not always the case, we’ll work to develop a timeline that moves towards a healthier relationship in under two months.
  • We’ll make decisions together. No one member of the therapy team—and that includes your therapist—gets to make decisions themselves. Your therapist will make suggestions, but you are free to make the decisions that are best for both of you.

Success in Couples Therapy: Have Goals for Yourself, Not Your Spouse

Coming to couples therapy with the expectation the therapist will back you in every argument and your spouse will see the error of their ways—that’s setting yourself up for disaster. While it’s perfectly reasonable to desire your partner to change some aspect of their communication style or wishing they did more around the house, think about how you can express this goal with reference to what you can control—yourself! For example, rather than saying I came to couples therapy to convince my partner to clean up after they make a mess, try to phrase it in the following way: I’ve come here to learn how to express my needs to my partner constructively and to accept the things I can’t change about them. The outcome may be the same—you express your desire to have your partner help out with household chores—but the attitude is totally different.

The Power of Talk in Couples Therapy

Although it may seem like quite an obvious point to make, the simple reality is that so much can be achieved when two partners sit down and actually speak and listen to one another. This sentiment is as true when it comes to peace treaties after a conflict, as it is to employer-employee stand-offs and is certainly the case when it comes to couples’ therapy.

One of the biggest benefits that I offer my clients in New York City is a neutral space, where they can express their respective perspectives on the relationship. By removing the barriers to communication, it is far easier to fix the problems that exist by getting to the root of the problem.

One of the most commonly heard opinions that I hear from couples is that early in their relationship they always listened to each other but that as things progressed this sense of curiosity or mutual interest has waned and that things are now very different. Perhaps the biggest contributor to relationship stagnation and conflict is a lack of communication and one of the biggest factors that causes this sense of silence is a worry that each person has disappointed or failed to satisfy their partner.

Often, all it takes to rectify these issues is mutual recognition. Our sessions together can help you understand each other’s perspective, empathize with one another, and better recognize your mutual needs. Working as a team, we’ll help you improve your communication and strengthen your relationship.

The reality is that in many cases, your partner is not disappointed in you but is rather upset or feeling vulnerable about another issue. Once that perspective has been relayed to your partner, it can be easier to find resolution to the other problem. Again, my expertise in couples’ therapy can assist in this respect.

Couples Therapy After an Affair

One of the biggest challenges facing any couple in New York City, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation, is how to rebuild trust after an emotional or physical affair.

If you are seeking out couples therapy for these sorts of issues, know that no therapy practitioner can save your relationship for you. What Robin Bryant, Ph.D. does offer is the ability to communicate hurt and offer strategies to rekindle the secure relationship that existed before the affair. Dr. Bryant can help you face those feelings of resentment, the insecurities, and the anxieties that come after acknowledging an affair. In the process, she can help you rebuild trust, develop open communication, and forge an honest relationship with one another.

All Shapes and Sorts of Relationships Welcome in Our Couples Therapy Practice

Most couples in NYC don’t subscribe to the traditional white-picket fence ideal of the nuclear family. That’s perfectly ok. Our couples therapists know the score—each couple is as unique as the people who are in the partnership, after all. We’re ready to help you tackle the issues that are important to you and your partner(s), and not to get hung up on the particulars of your situation.

We’ve helped clients in couples therapy from the following backgrounds:

  • Second (or third, or fourth) marriages and new partnerships after divorce
  • Same-sex relationships
  • Bisexuals in a heterosexual or homosexual relationship
  • Blended families
  • Parents of adopted children
  • Mixed-raced relationships and the pressures unique to them
  • Open relationships
  • Polyamory, and atypical relationship configurations
  • May-December relationships, or relationships with large age differences
  • Couples with one or more transgender or gender non-conforming individuals
  • Couples involving kink or BDSM practices

Just because your family doesn’t look like a Norman Rockwell painting doesn’t mean you can’t seek help from a compassionate and experienced couples therapist.

Hard Times: Dealing With Anger Issues, Violence, Drug and Alcohol Abuse, and Other Tough Issues in Couples Therapy

Individuals in partnerships faced with problems such as anger issues, drug abuse, or violence face difficult situations not only in their day-to-day lives, but also in finding a safe space free of judgment to express their desires and needs.

Robin Bryant, Ph.D. is committed to helping individuals struggling with the above issues. Honesty and transparency are the only way to experience growth. If you bring your therapist in on these issues, you can make tremendous strides in addressing the way these issues affect your relationship. When you walk in our front door, we promise you a judgment-free zone.
