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 Therapy in Attleboro, MA—Couples Counselors and Therapists

How Can Couples Therapy Help?

In most areas of life, we don’t shy away from asking for help when we need it—say, when we can’t find something at the grocery store or we’re lost and need directions. Or, even when we’re suffering physically, from an injury or illness. In these instances, we reach out and appreciate the help that we are given. But the same can’t be said when we run into relationship trouble. Instead of asking for a little help and guidance, we usually keep these problems to ourselves and insist on figuring it out with our partner and our partner only.

In reality, “any couple who believes they are encountering roadblocks for a healthy and supportive relationship should consider meeting with a couples therapist,” explains Oren Shtayermman, PhD, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker at the Attleboro office. “The presenting issue may be work-related or about child-rearing and in most cases, it is grounded in communication, perception, and cognitive understanding of what the other person is saying. Meeting with a clinician can help sort any confusion or challenge in a supportive and healthy environment with no bias attached.”

What Will We Discuss in Couples Therapy?

In a nutshell, a couples therapist can provide you with valuable guidance that helps you work through your relationship issues and improve your overall relationship. They will not judge you and your partner for whatever it is you’re going through. They understand, perhaps better than anybody else, that relationships aren’t always pretty. They will focus their efforts on helping you clear the hurdle that’s in front of you. In addition, depending on your relationship dynamic and, your couples therapist might also help you to:

  • Improve means of communication
  • Manage unrealistic relationship expectations
  • Have tough, but important conversations
  • Develop an action plan for future issues
  • Better express your love and care for each other
