What kind of therapist is best for couples?

At Thriveworks, Couples & marriage counseling 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 counseling 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 take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Need more help deciding?

Yasmine and Pharrell consider themselves lucky. After having met three years ago, their relationship seems like it’s built to last. Sure, they’ve had their fair share of difficulties, but after everything is said and done, both Yasmine and Pharrell know that they have the other’s back. That is until Pharrell found out the other day that Yasmine’s been seeing someone else. 

Yasmine knows that she’s made a mistake, and she wants to do what she can to make things right. That’s why she’s considering whether or not the two of them would benefit from talking to a couples therapist. Even though they aren’t sure what’s in store now, Yasmine wants to do her best to right the situation and preserve their connection. Pharrell is open to the idea of talking with a couples therapist, even though he’s upset with Yasmine. 

If you’re experiencing relationship issues between yourself and your partner, you might be able to relate to Yasmine and Pharrell’s story. If you’re interested in connecting with a couples therapist or marriage counselor to heal and make the most out of your relationship, contact Thriveworks in College Station, TX. We’re ready to pair you with a couples therapist or marriage counselor who can assist you.

Should We Talk to a Relationship Therapist?

While deciding to seek counseling or therapy together is a decision that you’ll need to come to by yourselves, you don’t need to face the challenges in your relationship by yourselves. By partnering with one of our counselors or therapists, you’ll gain a powerful ally that will guide you and your partner through the difficulties in front of you. Marriage counseling or couples therapy offers ways to: 

  • Establish healthy boundaries 
  • Highlight the importance and need for compromise
  • Rebuild trust after infidelity or dishonesty 
  • Rekindle sexual intimacy together 
  • Help both partners manage their anger or anxiety 

Our providers at Thriveworks in College Station, TX are licensed mental health professionals, and it’s their job to assist everyday people with the mental health issues that are bothering them. With this in mind, it’s alright to feel anxious about opening up to someone new about your relationship, but you aren’t going to be judged or viewed as lesser for choosing to talk with them. 

In fact, by communicating candidly with a mental health professional at Thriveworks in College Station, TX you and your partner will be better prepared to handle your relationship’s ups and downs. 

Common Relationship Issues Discussed in Couples Therapy

Some of the common signs and indications that a couple might benefit from talking with a marriage counselor or couples therapist include: 

  • Arguments that last for hours or days 
  • Passive-aggressive or abusive behavior 
  • Inability to respect each other’s boundaries
  • Cheating 
  • Avoiding physical touch or sex 
  • Lying and other forms of emotional manipulation

If you are experiencing anything listed above, there’s no need to feel ashamed. And if your situation isn’t listed, there’s no reason to worry, either. Each relationship is quite different, and that’s why talking openly about your difficulties with a provider is so beneficial. By providing your counselor or therapist with feedback, you’re opening the door to personalized therapy or counseling sessions designed with your relationship in mind.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
