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 Edison, NJ 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 Edison, NJ work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.

Who Should Seek Marriage Counseling?

As we mentioned earlier (and as you probably know yourself), relationships are far from easy. But they are worth the time and attention they require, as our loved ones prove important to our living a happy, healthy life. That said, there are instances in which you will run into trouble with your spouse. You might disagree on something or have opposing opinions; you might endure a particularly painful or stressful situation together; you might lose that spark you once had at the beginning of your relationship.

Here is a more comprehensive list of common marital problems, of which can be discussed with a marriage counselor:

  • Opposing views or values
  • Stress, at home and at work
  • Lack of intimacy
  • Financial strain
  • Parenting struggles
  • Family drama
  • Infidelity
  • Poor communication
  • The loss of a loved one
  • Mental illness

If you are struggling with any of the above marital problems or another marital problem that did not make the list, reach out to Thriveworks Edison Therapy. We’re happy to set you up with one of our relationship experts right away. They can provide you with the marriage help, guidance, and support you might be looking for.

Marriage Counseling at Thriveworks Edison: How Does It Work?

We pride ourselves on offering every single client personalized care. What do we mean by this? Our counselors and therapists get to know their clients before they design an approach to care. For example, if you decide to work with one of our marriage counselors, your counselor will get to know both you and your spouse, including your needs and goals. These might be individual needs and goals as well as needs and goals of the relationship. Both are important.

Then, and only then, will your marriage counselor design a course for treatment. They might determine that you and your spouse could benefit from cleaning up the way you talk to each other, in addition to working through any outstanding stress at home or at work; or they might notice that you could benefit from some one-on-one time. Remember, these professionals have specific skills, training, and experience working with couples. They can help you get your relationship back to a happy place.

Talisha Harrison helped me by giving me the tools to help me navigate some difficult relationships. I also appreciate how kind, sensitive, and empathetic she was as I have been grieving a recent loss of a parent. I have also been recovering from a serious medical condition. Should I feel the need to seek counseling in the future, I would not hesitate to return to counseling with Talisha.

I find Nancy to be a deeply compassionate, caring, mental health professional who takes a strength based approach in her practice. Her heightened mindfulness creates an environment where meaning can be cultivated. Her divergent perspectives and holistic approach transcend the work she does.
