One of the most powerful (and sometimes surprising) parts of couples therapy is when someone realizes: “Wait! I’ve been reacting to something inside me, not just to what my partner is doing.”

If you’ve been thinking about couples therapy but feel unsure, hesitant, or even a little scared—I get it. Reaching out for help can feel vulnerable, especially when it comes to your relationship.

One of the most transformative things I’ve seen happen in couples therapy is when someone realizes that the work isn’t just about managing or changing their partner. it’s about turning inward with curiosity and compassion.

If you’re considering couples therapy or relationship counseling, you might be wondering: What actually happens in the first session? It's completely normal to feel a little nervous or uncertain, especially if it’s your first time in therapy, or if emotions are running high in your relationship.
