What is your go-to approach for couples/marriage counseling?

A go-to approach for couples/marriage counseling is understanding that each person has a voice and is valid in their feelings and thoughts. Couples/marriage counseling is about working with both parties wherein each person needs to make changes for the betterment of the whole unit.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

Tools taught in couples/marriage counseling are conflict resolution, effective communication, the stress model of crisis (to identify how each member affects the unit), accountability and self-awareness, removing excuses and acceptance for hurtful behaviors, teaching empathy to one another to see each person's perspectives, and creating behavioral plans to change unhealthy habits/behaviors.

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

Meaningful progress is evaluated when a client expresses that therapeutic work is hard. Nothing worth doing comes easy or is changed in a few sessions. Our brains are lazy…working with a client through changing habits and thought processes takes time, exploration, and practice without judgment.

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

Complete the homework assigned after every session. Therapeutic work, in my opinion, does not happen exclusively in the sessions, it happens outside of sessions. The therapeutic setting is meant to explore concepts on a deeper level so clients can then make the next step of practicing those skills and concepts in between sessions.

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

Making the initial step to set up the session is the most important and empowering/strengths-based thing someone can do, albeit scary! To prepare for that first intake, remember, you're a rock star already.

Can Couples Therapy or Marriage Counseling Help Me and My Partner?

 If you have a problem at hand in your relationship, no matter how big or small you think it is, you could benefit from speaking to a Thriveworks counselor about your concerns. Here are a few of the most common reasons why couples come to us for counseling:

  • Poor communication
  • Financial strain

  • Jealousy
  • Infidelity
  • Lack of trust
  • Unaligned values
  • Parenting issues
  • Poor work/life balance
  • Major life changes
  • Mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, or addiction

Every couple’s challenges are unique. No two situations are the same. Sometimes you might not even know what the problem is that you’re facing. Your counselor here at Thriveworks in Glen Burnie can help you get to the root of your problems and assist in your journey to overcome them.

How Does Couples Counseling Work?

Here at our office, we only have the best counselors and therapists to help our clients achieve greater overall happiness and success. In fact, our mental health professionals are highly trained, licensed, and experienced in helping couples just like you and your partner. Couples counseling has proven to be an effective option in reviving your relationship and improving both you and your partner’s mental health.

When starting to work with a counselor at Thriveworks, they will first assess both of your problems, concerns, and goals for therapy. Doing so gives them an inside look at where the problems lie in your relationship. Based on the information they gather, they’ll create a custom treatment plan that helps you overcome your issues and move forward. They also dedicate themselves to creating a safe, open, and honest space for you each to talk freely about what’s going on.

Benefits of Marriage Counseling

Therapy can help you achieve things like:

  • Better communication
  • Successful active listening
  • Understanding the root cause of your issues
  • Increased respect and intimacy
  • Effective problem-solving techniques
  • And more!

Couples therapy and marriage counseling helps so many people, and it can help you too. While we would love to help every partnership stay together and overcome the challenges holding them back from happiness, sometimes it is the best option to split. Your therapist can help you make those tough decisions and ultimately understand that your individual mental wellbeing is crucial for a working relationship.
