Starting Couples therapy in Cambridge

What is couples therapy?

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:

  • Jealousy
  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing values
  • Different visions for the future
  • Disagreements in parenting
  • Lack of trust
  • Financial distress
  • Sex issues

How does couples therapy work?

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.

Is couples therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does couples therapy last?

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.

Get Your Relationship back on Track

When you met, everyone said you were a match made in heaven. You were never seen without each other, and every day you spent together was a new adventure, just because you were together.

These days, however, you argue constantly. The long term plans you made in the beginning never come up in conversation anymore, because you don’t know how long things are going to hold together.

But it’s not too late.

Cambridge Couples Counseling at Thriveworks

If you and your partner live in the Cambridge area and you’re ready for a fresh start, Thriveworks Cambridge Couples Counseling is here to make that start with you.

It doesn’t have to end just because things get tough.

You’ve probably heard it said often that anything good you have in your life is something you’ll probably have to fight for – and it’s true.  People walk away from good relationships everyday for the simple fact that they don’t have the tools to fix what has been broken. That’s where Thriveworks Cambridge comes in.

One of our caring professionals can teach you valuable relationship skills, such as:

  • Building good communication skills
  • How to trust
  • How to be honest
  • How to recover from a crisis, such as cheating or financial difficulties

We aren’t here to just put a patch over your problems and keep going.  Thriveworks Cambridge wants to get to the root of the problem and teach you skills that you’ll use for a lifetime. Start the healing today!

Thank you for saving my marriage. Thank you for saving me!

If your relationship needs some major TLC, or maybe you just want to strengthen the solid bond you and your partner already have, call us today.  There are no waiting lists, so if you call today you can see one of our counselors this week, possibly even the same day that you call.

Stop worrying about whether the two of you will make it.  Let’s start putting it back together today.  So call us today at 617-395-5806 to begin the process together.

Warmly,
Your Friends at Thriveworks Cambridge Couples Counseling
