Yes, you can start couples therapy without your partner at Ruh Care. Sometimes, one partner may be more hesitant or unavailable to begin therapy, but starting the process on your own can still be beneficial.


Individual Sessions

You can attend individual therapy sessions to discuss and address relationship issues. Your therapist can help you explore your feelings, understand relationship dynamics, and develop strategies for communication and conflict resolution. This can lay a solid foundation for when your partner is ready to join the sessions.


Encouraging Partner Participation

If your partner is hesitant, your therapist can guide how to encourage them to join. Open communication and sharing your positive experiences with therapy can help your partner feel more comfortable about participating in couples therapy.
