We've done marriage therapy together specifically about our relationship but not individual therapy with him attending.
I've taken my husband with me a handful of times to see my regular therapist for couples therapy. My current therapist is very fair in seeing both sides, and it absolutely helps. I wish I could get my husband to come more but he can't due to scheduling issues.
In contrast to that positive experience, when I took my husband to the previous therapist or couples therapy, she took my side every time and put him on the defensive. After a couple sessions, he stopped saying much at all because she wasn't even listening.
