Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
How is your relationship going? If you feel hesitant to answer this question, or the answer is difficult to verbalize, it is time to reach out for support. People begin couples counseling for a variety of reasons. Some examples include feeling like you don’t know where the relationship is going, being unhappy but not knowing how to make changes, trying to decide to take the next steps to make a marriage or commitment, or struggling to blend lives and families when you are noticing new differences in each other every day.
Many people get in relationships without having explored essential questions such as “What do I want from a relationship?” “What do I value in a partner?” “What are my goals for the future?” When couples differ on answers to these questions, conflict can arise. If this sounds like you and you think you could benefit from couples therapy, reach out to Thriveworks Alpharetta. We can get you scheduled right away.
Starting the counseling process can signify a new beginning in your relationship, a way to move forward in a healthy direction. The knowledgeable, licensed counselors at Thriveworks Alpharetta are professional and non-judgmental. You will find a safe space that allows you to be honest and open in order to get the help your relationship needs.
