Therapy has been a self care item on my list for a very long time... I have been avoiding the work as self reflection and honesty about yourself can be very hard. Brenda makes this process so easy! I am very happy I found her and Thriveworks. I have been doing the work and she makes it easy and heartfelt as we process through things in my life. Thank you!

Relational therapy FAQs
How does relational therapy work?
Relational therapy, also known as interpersonal therapy (IPT), is an approach to counseling that focuses on the client’s relationships and social context as central to their well-being. It emphasizes the importance of connection, mutual influence, and cultural factors in shaping individuals’ experiences and identities.
What does relational therapy focus on?
Relational therapy explores the client’s relationships, past and present, to understand how they impact emotions, behaviors, and self-concept. You and your therapist and client collaborate to examine patterns of interaction, communication styles, and relational dynamics, with the goal of fostering greater awareness, empathy, and authenticity in relationships.
Is relational therapy the same as couples counseling?
No—relationship counseling and relational counseling are two separate counseling types, even if their names are similar. However, relational therapy can help couples to separately address a wide range of concerns, including communication difficulties, conflict resolution, intimacy issues, family dynamics, and relational trauma.
What types of issues can relational therapy at Thriveworks address?
Relational therapy can address a wide range of interpersonal issues, including communication problems, conflict resolution, trust issues, boundary-setting, family dynamics, attachment issues, and relational trauma. It can also help individuals explore how their past relationships and social contexts influence their present experiences and behaviors.
Can relational therapy help address culturally-sensitive issues?
At Thriveworks, our therapists are trained to be culturally sensitive and to explore how cultural factors, such as race, ethnicity, religion, and socio-economic status, influence clients’ worldviews, values, and relational patterns. Therefore, the relational therapy process may include discussions about cultural identity, cultural norms, and the impact of systemic oppression on relationships.
Can relational therapy be conducted online or in-person?
Yes, at Thriveworks relational therapy can be conducted both online and in-person, depending on the preferences and needs of the client(s) and therapist. Online therapy at Thriveworks offers convenient and accessible options for those seeking virtual therapy services.
