Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It 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 couples therapy include:
Couples therapy 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 couples therapy 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.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Making the decision to attend marriage therapy can be tough for many married couples – here are some considerations which might help you make up your mind:
Marriage and couples counseling is a form of therapy designed to improve communication, teach conflict resolution skills and help couples work towards a happier relationship. Counseling will not provide simple remedies to all marital problems – a counselor is an impartial intermediary who facilitates the resolution, but does not dictate the terms on which it should be achieved. Partners are encouraged to reach conclusions of their own.
The counseling sessions often last between 45-90 minutes, depending on the therapist, as well as on the wishes of his or her clients. There are no fixed guidelines on the duration of marriage counseling – some couples will observe an improvement already after a few weeks, whilst others will need longer to see the progress.
Most marriage therapists and psychologists will focus on teaching their clients how to keep their emotions under control, become better listeners, communicate with each other in a productive manner and prevent conflict intensification.
Our marriage and couples counseling therapists may employ one or more of the following therapies, among others, to assist you and your partner in coping with relationship issues:
