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!

  • What is psychotherapy? and how does it work?
    Psychotherapy is a collaborative process where a trained therapist helps individuals explore and address emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. It involves exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. How it works: Initial Assessment: Your therapist will gather information about your challenges and goals. Therapeutic Techniques: Based on your needs, the therapist will use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy (NT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and more. Ongoing Sessions: You’ll work together to identify patterns, develop coping skills, and set goals for personal growth.
  • 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!
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice. This allows us to offer the time to someone else who may need it. Cancellations made within 24 hours will incur a cancellation fee. If you need to reschedule, we will do our best to accommodate a new time that works for you. To notify us of any scheduling changes, please free free to email us at atriapsychotherapy.info@gmail.com or call/text at 1-807-699-9858.
  • 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. Research shows that, on average, clients report progress after 15-20 sessions. However, some individuals may benefit from longer-term support, especially when working through deeper issues or achieving more complex goals. In the beginning, your therapist will help you set goals and evaluate your progress. Together, you'll determine the best course of action and frequency based on your needs, adjusting as you move forward.
