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.

Benefits of Couples Counseling

Here are some of the benefits of couples counseling:

  • Make thoughtful, informed choices with a scientifically-based evaluation of your relationship
  • Build on hidden strengths within your relationship
  • Experience feeling deeply understood by your partner
  • Develop ways to create a sacred bond that withstands external demands
  • Discover the far-reaching, empowering effects of a healthy relationship
  • Learn how you might reconnect deeply, even after an infidelity

Who Should Pursue Couples Therapy?

During a lasting relationship, it is normal to face challenges and stressors, as well as many important decisions and growth points. Sometimes couples discover that their ability to communicate and relate deeply has become impaired. Couples counseling can be a way to open up lines of communication and move towards a meaningful understanding of deeper issues. This understanding can, in turn, facilitate new possibilities for resolving difficulties and can intensify the depth of your connection.

Whether you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual or transgender, newly dating or in a committed domestic partnership, we aim to offer a safe and confidential setting in which to explore and grow. We also work with people who are ending a marriage, partnership, or a long term relationship. Therapy and counseling can help people going through this painful process to overcome emotional difficulties and develop the confidence to rebuild their lives.

Here are some of the difficulties that can be solved in couples counseling:

  • Cheating/affairs/distrust
  • Jealousy/anger/resentment
  • Dependency/Co-dependency
  • Communication problems/frequent arguments
  • Overburdened schedules/disconnection

What Should I Expect at My First Couples Counseling Session?

They will meet with the two of you together and help you think about your relationships in a way that honors your strengths and attends to your growth edges.
