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.
Nurturing a partner and cultivating a growing relationship takes work and care and delicacy. Many people need help to learn how to do this well. Many people have found that very help through couples counseling. Skilled therapists can often help each partner make necessary adjustments individually that make the relationship better. Many people have learned how to be better partners and better people by going to couples counseling.
The therapists and counselors at Thriveworks Counseling in Cleveland, OH have worked with many couples who were at an impasse. Everyone needs a place where they can process, feel, think, and decide. For many, that has been couples therapy at Thriveworks. Our counselors have helped many couples find a way forward that feels right for each partner.
When partners are having a hard time in their relationship, they often feel isolated, as if no other couples have faced this challenge. In many ways, each problem that a couple has is unique. The details are one-of-a-kind, but when people look below the surface details, when couples are struggling, they are often facing one of four root problems. Dr. John Gottman conducted a famous study in which he identified four toxic behaviors that are almost always present when couples are struggling. Dr. Gottman called these behaviors The Four Horsemen because they can be predictors of whether a relationship will stand the test of time. These toxic behaviors are defensiveness, stonewalling, criticism, and contempt. Here is what they look like in daily life…
These toxic behaviors can stifle a relationship, but they can be corrected. Couples who are committed to each other and who are willing to change can learn another way. Partners can learn how to build the relationship around a healthy connection, with help from a couples therapist. Here is what that may look like…
