What is your go-to approach for couples/marriage counseling?

My approach to couples counseling is to help the couple prioritize their relationship. It's crucial to help couples communicate effectively so they can meet each other's needs.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I teach couples how to use positive communication such as active listening and responding without reacting.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling?

I know that couples are making meaningful progress when they can discuss difficult situations in the session without the discussion turning into a heated argument.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement couples/marriage counseling?

Clients can practice their communication skills outside of sessions and focus on making the relationship a priority outside of their scheduled session time.

What should someone do to prepare for starting couples/marriage counseling?

In order to prepare for a couple's first session, one can identify not only what they would like to change within the relationship but to recognize what is going well.

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.

My counselor, Sheena Hahn, has been wonderful. I've been doing so much better emotionally and have learned new coping skills, as well. I'm very grateful.

I have always been skittish when it comes to therapy due to past experiences that were not always positive. I felt like I wasn't really listened to or my unique situation was taken into account; I felt like I got cookie cutter service. Melissa is not a cookie cutter therapist. She has made me so comfortable and has built a fantastic rapport between us. She reassures me on the subjects of my anxieties and confronts my problematic behaviors in a way that is kind and educates me on multiple ways I can work on them. I actually look forward to my weekly sessions with her and that is saying a lot considering how long I put off going to therapy. I wish everyone could have the experience she has provided to me.

Compassion, patience, and understanding. The ability to relate, listen, and reflect without making the patient feel small and irrelevant. I love my therapist because she actually gets me and genuinely wants me to win in life.
