"Debra Feinberg is the Director at Maplewood Counseling and the clients I referred to her reported feeling her compassion and acceptance when they met her. Clients who worked with Debra in couples or individual therapy, reported that her work was deep and brought transformation and growth personally and/or in the relationship. It is hard to find an insightful, gifted therapist, who you feel trust the moment you meet them and connects with people of such diverse backgrounds. She is my inspiration!"

What kind of therapy is best for couples?

How effective is couples therapy?
The effectiveness of couples therapy largely depends on the couple’s commitment to the process and their willingness to make changes. Various studies show that approximately 70% of couples benefit from therapy, experiencing significant improvements in their relationship dynamics and communication patterns. This therapy can help couples resolve conflict, improve emotional intimacy, and understand each other better. However, it’s essential to remember that results can vary widely, and therapy may not be the best solution for all couples. A successful outcome often requires time, effort, and patience from both partners.
Couples therapy can also serve as a preventative measure for couples who want to strengthen their relationship before any major issues arise. It provides a safe space for couples to address any underlying problems or potential areas of conflict and develop strategies to prevent them from becoming more prominent in the future.
Does therapy actually help people?
Yes, therapy can be incredibly helpful for individuals and couples alike. It provides a safe and non-judgmental space to work through personal and relationship issues, learn new coping strategies, and gain a better understanding of oneself and others.
Therapy also allows for an outside perspective from a trained professional who can offer unbiased guidance and support. This can be especially beneficial for couples, as it can help them see their relationship from a different angle and gain insight into ways to improve it.

Can couples therapy save your relationship?

However, couples therapy can provide a safe and supportive environment for partners to work through their issues and strengthen their bond. It allows individuals to better understand themselves and their partner, leading to improved communication and conflict resolution skills.
