My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is focusing on what is best for the relationship. I find the best benefit in focusing on the future because focusing on the past about who is right or wrong is based on the ego and individual instead of moving toward a united relationship.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling: communication; relationship mutual values and goals; and ways to increase physical, emotional, and intellectual intimacy.
I know a couple is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when they are able to effectively communicate their needs and they can support and work together to reach mutual and individual goals.
Couples can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by developing a relationship ritual that is devoted to the repair and maintenance of the couple's relationship.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can identify three relationship goals to address in therapy.
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.
