I look forward to working with you to address current challenges, recover from trauma or loss, and/or change behaviors to improve your quality of life so you can feel better. My approach is warm, straightforward, and strengths-based. I believe fervently that all people have infinite value and worth, but sometimes, we come to believe lies of worthlessness or inadequacy.

Starting Couples/marriage therapy

What is couples & marriage counseling?

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:

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

  • The Gottman Method
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT)
  • Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT)
  • Strength-based therapy

What kind of therapist is best for couples?

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.

What is the Gottman Method of couples therapy?

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.

How to tell if I need couples therapy?

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.

Should every couple go to couples therapy?

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.

Is couples & marriage counseling conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does couples & marriage counseling last?

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.

How much does couples & marriage counseling cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Need more help deciding?

Often, couples are so close to a problem that they find it hard to find an obvious solution. That’s where relationship counseling can help. Bringing in an unbiased, third-party viewpoint can help partners better understand what’s going on in their relationship. A therapist or counselor can give you the tools you need to deal with your issues and help you get on the same page again.

A couples therapist can help you resolve conflict in your relationship, build intimacy, and improve the way you communicate with each other. At Thriveworks in Arlington, TX, our marriage and family therapists can support you both as you work through your problems so you come out on the other side happier and healthier. Reach out today to schedule your first appointment.

Common Reasons To Seek Out Relationship Counseling

Here are some of the problems that may let you know it’s time to reach out for help:

  • If one of you struggles with addiction or substance abuse
  • If one of you struggles with anger issues
  • If there’s a lack of intimacy in your relationship
  • If there’s a lack of trust between you and your partner
  • If you feel like you aren’t communicating like you once did
  • If a disparity in values is causing hardships
  • If agreements never seem to resolve

If your relationship doesn’t feel the way it once did, help is available. Consider reaching out to a Thriveworks mental health professional in Arlington, TX.

How Does Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling Work?

Your therapist will start by talking to you as individuals or as a couple to determine the underlying causes of your relationship issues. From there, you will work with your therapist to determine a goal and a timeline.

Every couple’s goals will be different and may change over time. In some cases, the goal may be to argue less. In other instances, it may be to approach divorce in a civil, healthy manner. The form of treatment will largely depend on your desired outcome from couples therapy.

Throughout your sessions, your therapist will help you work on the skills you need to improve your relationship. You may need to focus on communication, trust, stress management, selflessness, patience, or forgiveness, among others. To practice these skills, you may be given assignments to try outside of your appointments. For example, someone struggling to get in touch with their emotions may be asked to keep a journal as a way of building that awareness. A couple desiring more intimacy may be tasked with setting aside time for dates or alone time away from their kids.

Easy and convenient to book according to my schedule. I feel like I'm learning and making progress with Mrs. Antoine. She is extremely kind and empathetic. I would recommend a friend to Thriveworks because of my experience with her.
