Starting Couples/marriage therapy

Need more help deciding?

Perhaps you and the one you love are struggling with some relationship issues like infidelity or trust issues. If you are, confiding in a couples therapist or marriage counselor might make a big difference. At Thriveworks in Irvine, CA, our marriage counselors and couples therapists are ready to work together with you to improve your relationship and reignite that spark. Reach out today to schedule your first appointment.

How Can Couples Therapy Help?

Deciding to talk with a marriage counselor or couples therapist is an important decision that you and your partner will need to make together—but if you do choose to connect with a mental health professional at Thriveworks, you’ll be gaining a powerful ally to help you improve your relationship. Couples therapy and marriage counseling can offer 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 anger or anxiety 

Plus, marriage counselors and couples therapists are licensed professionals, whose sole commitment is to help you and your romantic partner strengthen your relationship. You’ll give them the valuable insight that they need to provide you both with personalized mental health care. 

Could We Benefit from Couples Therapy?

While each couple is unique, common signs that you and your partner might benefit from professional assistance 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’re experiencing any of these issues, there’s no reason to feel shame. And our therapists and counselors aren’t going to judge you for your difficulties. Instead of feeling defeated about seeking assistance with your relationship, it might be helpful to view the process as a way to prioritize your bond. The most important thing is the connection between both of you, and taking steps to preserve that connection is a smart choice.
