Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples 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 and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & 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.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Relationships aren’t always going to be perfect. In reality, most relationships are full of ups, downs, and in-betweens. The early stage of your relationship was likely full of good times and excitement as you and your partner got to know one another better. But over time, maybe you noticed that a number of situations and factors outside of your control started impacting your relationship.
Maybe you’re fighting more about your finances. Maybe you or your partner recently lost a loved one and you haven’t really talked in weeks. Or maybe you notice your partner is spending more time on their phone than ever before. When resolving conflict becomes impossible without fighting, or you feel like your relationship is strained, it’s okay to reach out and ask for help. Couples therapy and marriage counseling can help you and your partner identify potential problems in your relationship and give you the tools, resources, and coping skills to work through them.
If you are struggling to find balance in your relationship, a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) can act as a mediator and support system to help you through the rough patches. Call our Thriveworks Counseling center at Flowood, MS or use our online booking portal to schedule your first counseling session today.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling can help repair what feels broken in your relationship to help strengthen your bond. Whether you are hoping to rebuild your relationship, improve your communication and intimacy, or restore the spark between you, a licensed couples therapist can help you take the next steps.
You may decide to pursue couples therapy or marriage counseling with a therapist for any of the following reasons:
A relationship does not have to be in crisis mode in order to benefit from couples therapy or marriage counseling. Couples therapy helps people work through the day-to-day issues that can impact a relationship while also working to resolve larger problems as well.
A couples therapist will help you and your partner prevent future conflicts by showing you valuable ways to finetune your connection with one another. They will walk you through different ways to improve your communication and your ability to identify and rectify potential problems. Skills like active listening and efficient problem-solving will help you work as a team as you navigate life together.
Couples therapy can help to improve your love life, but it can also enhance other areas of your life as well. It can help you maintain a positive relationship with family members and friends, improve your own mental health, and can motivate you to do better at your job as well. You will begin to see an improvement in your mental health, as well as your outlook on life.
