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.

There is no such thing as a cookie-cutter marriage or relationship. Every couple is different, and what works for one partnership may not work for another. Some couples do everything together. Others may spend most of their time apart, even sleeping in separate bedrooms, but they still find strength in each other’s love and intermittent companionship. And then there are couples who might face a very particular set of challenges and want a specialized therapist to help them. These include:
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks in Minneapolis, MN offers convenient online therapy by video as well as in-person sessions. Choose which works best for you and your partner — in addition, work with your partner to find the right marriage or couples therapist for you.
Sometimes one spouse advocates for counseling while the other spouse drags their feet. But it can help if both partners are involved in the process of choosing a marriage therapist. Then the more reluctant spouse can feel invested in the process and have a greater sense of buy-in.
Before you approach the Thriveworks office in Minneapolis, MN to schedule a session, talk to your partner about what you’re looking for and what your concerns might be. If privacy is your husband’s biggest concern, then consider talking to him about online marriage counseling. If clinical credentials and a long success record are your biggest criteria, then propose a couples therapist with extensive training and experience. The important thing is that you agree on what you want. Though if you disagree, that might be good material to explore in your first couples counseling session!
Any couple could find benefits in couples therapy — and seeking relationship help is not a sign that your relationship is on the rocks. In fact, it’s a sign of a healthy, committed relationship when you’re thinking about finding a marriage counselor to help overcome communication roadblocks and other common couples issues.
