I teach the following tools in couples counseling:

  • Identifying feelings and putting them into words for one another
  • Understanding past conflicts
  • Efficient communication
  • Problem-solving skills as a couple

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples counseling when blaming behaviors begin to diminish.

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

I encourage couples to be in individual therapy alongside couples therapy.

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

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.

Maggie is a great therapist. She really is a good person and we always come up for a solution to any task I may face. She's understanding and really listens and provides the best answers to anything. I would recommend her to anybody dealing with relationship issues to bipolar disorder to pretty much anything. To anyone who may have her she's a great counselor and really listens and doesn't rush what you say she cares about the well being of you. And that's what makes her a great therapist.

I have been working with Cameron for about two years now and I can definitely see the progress we have made in helping me to set and maintain boundaries and prioritize self-care. He is a very empathetic and thoughtful counselor who does not talk down to me, but listens and connects with respect and sincerity.
