It's important that your partner has the opportunity to talk to someone about their feelings, worries, and concerns. A therapist can offer a valuable perspective and support which is unavailable in a civilian setting. There are many different approaches to psychotherapy, and it could be possible for you and your partner to find another therapist who works best for both of you.

What may be more helpful is for you both to consider seeing couple’s counseling together as an alternative. This can provide opportunities explore any underlying issues in the relationship such as trust or communication breakdowns which can often be beneficial.

The decision whether or not your partner continues to see their therapist should ultimately be left up them but trying approaching the topic with respect and understanding how they may feel about the suggestion of finding an alternative type of help could open dialogue.

It's understandable that seeing a therapist can cause strain on your relationship, but it is important to recognize the impacts it may have. You could try talking with your partner and asking them why they wish to continue seeing their therapist, as well as asking what you could do to help them with any issues that come up. Additionally, you could suggest finding another therapist who might be able to provide different insight than their current one - this way your partner does not feel as if they are giving up help but rather just shifting how they receive it.
