Starting Couples/marriage therapy

  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing values
  • Different visions for the future
  • Disagreements in parenting

  • Strength-based therapy

What kind of therapist is best for couples?

At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.

What is the Gottman Method of couples therapy?

The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.

How to tell if I need couples therapy?

If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.

Should every couple go to couples therapy?

While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.

Is couples & marriage counseling conducted in person or online?

Marriage and couples 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 couples & marriage counseling last?

On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & 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.

How much does couples & marriage counseling cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state.

It’s okay to ask for help navigating difficult periods of your relationship. A couples therapist or counselor can act as a mediator, an interpreter, or a guide and help you improve the quality of your connection and show you how to maintain your bond long-term.

Why Do Couples Seek Out Relationship Counseling?

Couples counseling can help you work through nearly any issue that is causing disruption in your relationship or interfering with your family life. Whether you are working through a tumultuous life change as a family or struggling to rebuild broken trust, a couples therapist or counselor can provide gentle guidance and advice to help you overcome the situation together.

There is no wrong reason to pursue couples counseling, particularly if you are struggling with any of these common relationship issues:

  • Breakdown in communication
  • Major life changes
  • Grief or loss
  • Trust issues or jealousy
  • Infidelity
  • Intimacy issues or sexual dissatisfaction
  • Divorce or separation
  • Marriage or blending families
  • Financial issues
  • Change in roles or family dynamic
  • Mental health issues

How Can Couples Therapy Help?

Working with a couples therapist or counselor can help you resolve conflict and rebuild broken trust. But for many couples, working with a professional also improves their relationships in many other ways. Marriage and family therapy is a great preventative tool that can help you construct healthy boundaries and clear lines of communication to maintain a healthy relationship.

The primary goal of couples therapy is to help two people better understand and appreciate one another. Through multiple therapy sessions, you’ll learn how to effectively communicate your thoughts and emotions, creating an opportunity to recognize and accept each other’s differences. You’ll learn how to identify potential issues before they make waves and find healthy, practical solutions for your problems.

The skills you learn during your couples therapy sessions can even be applied to other relationships in your life. Clear communication, effective problem-solving, and active listening can improve the quality of your friendships, professional partnerships, and relationships with other family members.

I am very happy to offer my highest recommendations for a therapist working with the community at Thriveworks. Here is an example of what it is like to be in Linda Armendariz’s care. We had a family session with Linda. She spoke with each of us beforehand, to have a clear understanding of what each person hoped to accomplish. She was a calming presence throughout our session, gently bringing us back to the issues we wanted to address and helping us hear what was being said. Our common goal was to really understand each other and to be heard. As parents we wanted to support our adult son without enabling him, showing high expectations with a lot of warmth. We were mostly struggling with boundaries, which was confusing to him. In the end we came to a very clear and actionable plan with goals and dates. We each had assignments that we could accomplish. It was agreed that we would work together, openly. We agreed to communicate as a group moving forward. Respect has been key. Linda models what she says. She is intuitive and to the point, so time is used wisely. I believe that anyone who gets to work with Linda will grow steadily!
