Couples Counseling: Benefits and Lessons

No matter why you decide to start couples counseling, you’ll learn a lot throughout your therapy sessions. Marriage and family therapy sessions can help you learn healthy habits and critically examine how you interact with your partner.

Some of the skills you might learn at couples counseling include:

  • Communication skills: Many relationship difficulties come down to how we communicate with each other. Learning how to more effectively speak and listen is incredibly important for any relationship.
  • Conflict resolution: Conflict can come up in any relationship, romantic or otherwise. Knowing how to resolve conflicts healthily can be beneficial for everyone involved.

I have been seeing Terryn Maher for a couple of months now and she is awesome!! Very knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, caring, etc. I could go on for awhile. I’ve been in counseling with another therapist for about 14 years but I already feel like I’m getting so much more from working with Terryn. Thriveworks on a whole has been great to work with as well. They are easy to work with and schedule appointments with. I was nervous about working with a company over directly with just the therapist but it has actually worked out well. I highly recommend them!

Krystal made my first session very comfortable and welcoming. Her goal is to get the best version of yourself she can. I can’t thank her enough for saving my life when I didn’t even know how desperate I was to be saved. HIGHLY recommend her services.

My Therapist Sara M. is an amazing Therapist. She is an excellent listener, coach, and is very attentive to the needs of the patient. I was able to connect with her in ways that I have not been able to connect with prior therapist. I am truly grateful to have found Thrivewoks and their referral to Sara M.
