Couples therapy sessions typically last for 60 minutes. The first session will usually be an intake session, where the therapist will get to know you and your partner, and your goals for therapy. In subsequent sessions, the therapist will help you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They may also teach you communication skills and techniques for managing conflict.

The length of couples therapy depends on your individual needs. Some couples may only need a few sessions, while others may need to continue therapy for months or even years. The therapist will work with you to determine the best length of treatment for you.
