When it comes to couples therapy, the best type of therapist is a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). MFTs are specifically trained in relationship dynamics and communication between partners. They focus on providing education about healthy relationships as well as helping couples identify common issues and create solutions for them. MFTs also work with couples on understanding different perspectives, improving problem-solving skills, increasing empathy and understanding among each other, managing stress levels in the relationship, expressing feelings effectively while respecting one another's boundaries, learning to compromise more effectively, developing better communication habits, regaining trust when it has been broken or damaged due to an affair or betrayal and building a better foundation for their future together.
