Starting Marriage counseling

What is marriage counseling?

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Chattanooga, TN 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 Marriage counseling include:

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

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling conducted in person or online?

Marriage 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 marriage counseling last?

On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, 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. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Chattanooga, TN work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.

When to Seek Marriage Counseling

There is no right or wrong time to seek marriage therapy. Whether you are experiencing significant issues or just want to enhance your relationship, marriage counseling can provide valuable support. Here are some common reasons couples seek therapy:

  1. Constant arguing: Frequent arguments without resolution can strain a marriage. A counselor can help you communicate more effectively and resolve conflicts.
  2. Lack of communication: When couples stop talking or arguing altogether, it can indicate deeper issues. Therapy can help restore healthy communication.
  3. Infidelity: An affair can devastate trust in a marriage. Counseling can help both partners heal and decide the future of their relationship.
  4. Trying to change each other: Healthy relationships involve accepting each other as you are. A therapist can guide you in valuing each other’s individuality.
  5. Abuse: If there is physical, emotional, or sexual abuse in your marriage, seek help immediately. Your safety is the top priority.
