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.
Relationship issues can cause significant stress and strain on your love life, but they certainly aren’t uncommon. If you’re struggling with conflict in your home, pursuing couples therapy is a great idea. Moreover, the sooner you seek help for the issues that may be affecting your relationship, the more likely you will be to fully resolve them.

These professionals have the experience and the skills that you’re looking for in a relationship expert.

Many couples have disagreements over similar issues; however, circumstances are always unique to each relationship. These may include:
If you attend couples therapy at Thriveworks, the professional you see will do everything they can to help you address your specific problem(s). Even if they haven’t dealt with your exact circumstances before, their training, experience, and insight can be applied to many varied relationship issues.
Too often, couples struggle with whether to see a counselor as their relationship may be excellent other than the one issue. For example, you and your partner might form a unified bond on everything from raising kids to handling money. You might still feel in love and enjoy each other’s company, but issues may crop up under certain circumstances.
This is a prime reason why the AAMFT recommends seeing someone, like couples therapists in Watertown, as soon as possible. Don’t give one issue the power to make an otherwise great relationship feel miserable. Additionally, know that couples therapy isn’t just for those experiencing a major problem in their relationship. It’s also for those who recognize some room for improvement or the benefit of learning new tools for resolving conflicts and connecting on a deeper level.
