You and your partner will meet in a private video session with one of our licensed relationship therapists using Amwell via the web or the mobile app. If it’s your first session, the therapist will ask questions to understand the nature of your relationship issues and your goals for couples therapy. Your online therapist will then suggest a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include recommendations for further sessions, using one or more specific therapy methods. Your couples therapist may provide insights to help you better understand each other’s actions and motivations, tips for more constructive ways to talk about your feelings or issues, and specific skills you can practice for working out differences or solving problems together.
September is Suicide Prevention Month – which aims to create hope through action by creating safe spaces for those struggling with the goal of preventing suicide all together. The issue is far reaching. Nearly 46,000 individuals died by suicide in 2020, and 46% of those people had a known mental health condition. Although mental health issues and illnesses, like depression, can lead to suicide, there are many reasons someone may decide to take their own life. However, most people believe that suicide can be prevented.
