Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Marietta, GA 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 Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling 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.
Marriage 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 counseling for 12 weeks. However, 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. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Marietta, GA work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
Relationships are not always easy. Bringing two individuals together is filled with necessary compromise, patience, and selflessness. Joining two lives into one can be nearly an impossible task. Each person is set in his or her ways. You may have a particular method that you like the coffee made in the morning; your partner does it differently. You may enjoy going out every weekend; your partner prefers to stay in. The list can go on and on. And these are just the logistics! This does not even begin to address the emotional and psychological issues each person brings to the relationship.
