Therapy is a way of engagement that is non-judgmental and that is helpful to one's personal growth and development. Through therapy, we become aware of our own shadows and learn to cultivate skills and capacities to face obstacles and construct new narrative of self.
Every individual situation is unique. The intensity of problems and the urgency of reaching goals are two main factors in determining the frequency and length of therapy sessions.

Couples therapy sessions are for couples who are motivated to change their relationship/attachment style of connection. Couples come together to negotiate and renew their engagement with one another in order to maintain their bond together to stay together. Sometimes couple therapy is for those who want to end their relationship peacefully/ amicably to protect their past memories and their connections with their children.
Yes. Family Therapy sessions for families with young children or adult children can help to build new connections among family members and promote a positive environment in day-to-day interactions with one another. Family members come together in sessions to discuss how to address differences, routines, division of labour and responsibilities to one another in a more constructive way.
