Starting Couples therapy

What is couples therapy?

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:

  • Jealousy
  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing values
  • Different visions for the future
  • Disagreements in parenting
  • Lack of trust
  • Financial distress
  • Sex issues

How does couples therapy work?

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.

Is couples therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does couples therapy last?

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.

Couples and Relationships Therapy – Counselors in Alpharetta

How is your relationship going? If you feel hesitant to answer this question, or the answer is difficult to verbalize, it is time to reach out for support. People begin couples counseling for a variety of reasons. Some examples include feeling like you don’t know where the relationship is going, being unhappy but not knowing how to make changes, trying to decide to take the next steps to make a marriage or commitment, or struggling to blend lives and families when you are noticing new differences in each other every day.

Many people get in relationships without having explored essential questions such as “What do I want from a relationship?” “What do I value in a partner?” “What are my goals for the future?” When couples differ on answers to these questions, conflict can arise. If this sounds like you and you think you could benefit from couples therapy, reach out to Thriveworks Alpharetta. We can get you scheduled right away.

She is the best therapist I've ever had in my life I love her and I've been going to therapy for over 10 years and by far I have learned the most from her in a short time than in years. I believe she is an angel sent from God. Couldn't be more pleased and I'd recommend her to everyone.
