About
I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of mental health settings, from substance abuse treatment facilities to crisis stabilization centers. These experiences have taught me that healing rarely follows a straight path, and that every individual carries a unique story, shaped by struggle, resilience, and hope.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Cambridge, MA 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 Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling 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.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Cambridge, MA work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
Before saying, “I do,” few couples are prepared for the challenges that many face after the wedding. Arguments may begin with small disagreements that never really get settled. These small disagreements may breed resentment, and then escalate into fights, complete with yelling, slammed doors, and nights spent apart.
Love and attraction are powerful forces that bring people together. But a healthy and long marriage requires much more than just these basic elements. Cooperation, mutual respect, dedication, and good communication are just a few of the components of happy marriages. You and your spouse may know this but be unable to implement them into your relationship. This is where a marriage counselor can come in and make all the difference. Schedule your first marriage counseling session with us today.
Marriage problems can be caused by many problems. Some of these include:
Perhaps your problems with your spouse just began. Perhaps they started even before the wedding. Whatever the duration or cause of your problems, help is available. Divorce is a painful and all too common result of marriage problems. If you desire help, that is the first step in creating the type of relationship that you dream of, or used to have, in your marriage. Knowing that you need help and seeking it out are wonderful first steps for change.
Although it may feel like the problems in your marriage cannot be solved, change is possible for many couples. There are many tools that a trained marriage counselor can teach couples to help them move forward in a healthy way. Simply having an objective third party listen to and analyze the problems in your marriage can help foster tremendous growth and realizations for both members. Some of the ways that a marriage counselor can help are:
This may seem like an impossible list. Perhaps you cannot imagine you and your spouse accomplishing any of these tasks. That’s where Thriveworks can help. We are trained to walk through this process with you and your spouse.
Our trained and licensed marriage counselors are experts in their field, and we are ready to help now. We pride ourselves on not operating with a wait list, because we know that when you call, you are ready to get help, right at that moment. Many new clients often meet with a provider within the same week of scheduling.
We can help you create and develop new, healthy ways to deal with the issues that you and your spouse are facing. We are ready to walk this journey with you. It would be an honor to accompany you on the process of healing your marriage and improving your family life.
