Couples Therapy, Marriage Therapy, Relationship Therapy—What’s the Difference?

At Bergen Counseling Collective, we understand that no two relationships are alike. Whether you’re in a long-term marriage, a new partnership, or navigating complex dynamics, our therapists tailor their clinical approach to your unique needs and goals. “Marriage therapy” often refers to legally married couples; “couples counseling” applies broadly to any romantic partnership; and “relationship therapy” may include other interpersonal bonds. We are committed to a non-judgmental approach and our therapists create a safe-space for all relationships to heal, grow, and thrive.

We’re deeply committed to affirming all relationship structures and identities—including LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and culturally diverse partnerships—and our therapists are trained to work with you respectfully, knowledgeably, and without assumptions.
