Relationship Therapy vs. Couples Therapy
Although relationship therapy and couples therapy are closely related, they serve different purposes. Here’s how they compare:
- Who attends?
Couples therapy usually involves both partners. Relationship therapy may include one or both partners, and is often individual.
- Main focus
Couples therapy focuses on shared relationship issues. Relationship therapy focuses on an individual's relationship patterns.
- Types of relationships
Couples therapy typically supports romantic partners. Relationship therapy can support any relationship; romantic, family, or friendships.
- Typical goals
Couples therapy aims to improve communication and resolve conflict. Relationship therapy aims to explore and change deeper relational patterns, often rooted in past experiences.
Someone might seek relationship therapy to:
- Heal after infidelity or a difficult breakup
- Improve communication before entering a new relationship
- Address commitment fears or avoidant behavior
- Understand personal needs and boundaries in relationships

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQs About Relationship Therapy in Chicago
1. Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
We help clients with communication challenges, intimacy concerns, emotional distance, trust issues, repeated relationship patterns, breakups, and more. Relationship therapy can also support personal growth and deeper self-understanding.
2. Do you work with individuals or just couples?
We work with both. Many people come to relationship therapy on their own to better understand and improve how they relate to others. Most couples attend sessions together, but relationship therapy is also valuable for one partner navigating concerns individually.
3. Is virtual relationship therapy effective?
Yes. Many clients find online therapy sessions to be just as effective as in-person therapy. They offer flexibility while maintaining strong therapeutic connections.
4. Can relationship therapy help with intimacy issues or sex-related concerns?
Yes. We support clients with emotional and physical intimacy concerns, including those related to sex, trust, communication, and past experiences. These sessions are especially helpful for women and individuals who want to feel heard in a safe, supportive space.

Some of our therapists are trained in Imago principles. If this is a preferred approach, let us know during your intake and we can match you with someone who uses that model.

Absolutely. Relationship therapy can support individuals to overcome challenges related to family, friends, or workplace dynamics. Whether you're feeling stuck in old patterns, struggling with communication, or dealing with emotional pain from past relationships, our therapy services can help you build insight, healing, and improve your overall mental health.
7. What are the benefits of relationship therapy for personal growth and self discovery?

Insurance information
Good Faith Estimate
For additional information, please contact our office at info@innervoicepc.com

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service by contacting info@innervoicepc.com. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
