Couples Therapy is for anyone in an intimate relationship.  By working with a therapist, couples can explore issues in their relationship, work on their communication, improve interactions, and resolve conflicts.  While relationship counseling is often used to address problems, it can be helpful at any stage of a relationship. People in healthy, happy relationships can still benefit from counseling that strengthens their communication and connection.
