What to expect from therapy in Rochester
Whether or not it's connected to healthcare worker burnout, seasonal depression, and the stress of serious illness for patients and families, here's what to expect when working through this with a therapist in Rochester.
Joint assessment
Both partners share their perspective on the relationship. The therapist identifies patterns, strengths, and areas for growth without taking sides.
Communication skills
Early sessions focus on improving how you communicate — learning to listen actively, express needs without blame, and manage conflict constructively.

Building forward
Later sessions focus on strengthening the relationship — creating shared goals, rebuilding intimacy, and developing tools to handle future challenges together.
