Conflict resolution therapy teaches partners to de-escalate, communicate needs, and solve problems together. It focuses on protecting the relationship while addressing real issues.
In online couples therapy, your therapist guides you through calm-down strategies, validation, and need-based requests, then helps you agree on small next steps you can try between sessions.
Many couples feel relief within 3–6 sessions, though timelines vary based on goals and frequency of practice at home.
The first session, or “consultation,” is all about getting to know you and understanding what you’re going through. We’ll take the time to talk about your personal challenges and your situation, so we can create a treatment plan that feels right for you. You’ll be asked some questions, and we’ll explore different aspects of your concerns together. Sometimes, this may include psychological assessments or reaching out to others, like your doctor or family (but only with your permission). Once we have a clear picture, your therapist will share some treatment options with you, and together, you’ll decide on a plan that feels comfortable and helpful for you.
Psychotherapy services are not covered by OHIP. However, many extended health insurance plans provide partial coverage for psychotherapy services. The coverage details, including reimbursement rates, may vary depending on your insurer and plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm your coverage details and claim process. Payment for services is due at the end of each session. A detailed receipt will be provided, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement or use for tax purposes.
To schedule a treatment at Existence Therapy Center, you can email us at [email protected] or conveniently book an appointment online by clicking “Book a Consultation.” Once your appointment is scheduled, one of our therapists will conduct a comprehensive intake interview to assess your need for psychological treatment. We don’t have long wait times to get in with a therapist.
By identifying negative communication patterns and teaching effective strategies, therapy helps couples resolve disputes calmly, improve understanding, and strengthen their emotional connection.
Common relationship conflicts stem from communication breakdowns, unmet expectations, differences in values, stress, and unresolved past issues. Therapy helps uncover and address these root causes.
