Compassionate support you can trust
Individual Couples Therapy
Reflect, Renew, Reconnect
At Atria, we understand that relationships are a journey filled with both joy and challenges. Our Individual Couples Therapy is designed to support one partner in exploring relationship dynamics and fostering personal growth within the context of their partnership. When the other partner is ready, they can seamlessly join the therapy sessions, enhancing the journey towards a healthier relationship together.
Individual Couples Therapy offers a unique opportunity for personal reflection and growth, focusing on how your individual experiences and behaviors impact your relationship. This approach empowers you to gain insights into your relationship patterns and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.

Individual Couples Therapy VS. Traditional Couples Therapy
Understanding the differences between Individual Couples Therapy and Traditional Couples Therapy can help you choose the approach that best suits your needs. At Atria, we offer both options to support your journey towards a healthier relationship.
Traditional Couples Therapy focuses on joint sessions where both partners work together to address relationship dynamics and improve communication. In contrast, Individual Couples Therapy allows one partner to explore personal growth and relationship patterns independently, with the flexibility for the other partner to join (if and when) they are ready.
This approach empowers individuals to gain self-awareness and develop personal strategies for enhancing their relationship. Whether you choose to embark on this journey independently or together, Atria is here to guide you every step of the way!

How often should I come to therapy?Consistency is key, especially in the beginning. For most people, weekly sessions are recommended to build momentum and establish a strong therapeutic foundation. This frequency allows for steady progress and helps you stay focused on your goals. As therapy progresses, the frequency of sessions can be adjusted based on your needs and progress. You and your therapist will work together to determine the best schedule as you move forward.

What can I expect during the free 15-minute consultation?During your free 15-minute consultation, you can expect an introductory conversation where we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any initial concerns you may have. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions about the therapy process, learn more about your therapists approach, and determine if you're a good fit to work together. It’s a low-pressure conversation designed to help you decide how best to move forward with your therapeutic journey!

How many therapy sessions will I need?The number of sessions varies depending on your goals, the nature of the concerns you are working on, and how frequently you want to meet.
