Starting Couples/marriage therapy

Need more help deciding?

The licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) and other qualified couples counselors at Thriveworks in Montgomery, AL aim to do a lot more than resolve conflict and address thorny relationship issues. They also aim to help significant others love each other “better”. This can be done through improving communication skills, building trust and attachment, helping partners see issues from each others’ perspectives, and reinforcing existing strengths in the relationship. 

If you think you could benefit from relationship counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Montgomery today for help. We’ll get you scheduled right away.

How Can Relationship Counseling Help?

The vast majority of couples who see a professional counselor report increased relationship satisfaction after therapy (which is usually completed in 12 sessions or fewer). So yes, relationship counseling can absolutely be transformative. And the lessons learned in therapy can endure for a lifetime, sometimes even outliving the relationship. At Thriveworks in Montgomery, AL, licensed therapists aim first to understand a couple’s objectives for therapy before they begin treatment. These objectives might include the following:

  • To reduce daily conflicts and tension in the household
  • To stop having the same argument 
  • To establish healthy boundaries
  • To manage anger
  • To improve rapport
  • To express sexuality more openly
  • To confront alcohol abuse or addiction
  • To heal bonds after infidelity
  • To manage life transitions
  • To cope with empty nest syndrome or midlife crises
  • To support each other through infertility
  • To identify individual mental health conditions that are affecting the relationship
  • To process trauma together
  • To grieve and cope with loss together

Once the Thriveworks therapist knows what the couple is seeking to accomplish, they can work on the issue together, whether it’s conflict resolution, chronic miscommunication, sexual issues, or something else. Couples therapy is usually short-term and targeted at solving problems. Occasionally one partner will choose to continue with individual therapy after exploring personal issues in marriage counseling. 

How Does Couples Counseling Work?

Couples counseling works through a variety of evidence-based approaches. At Thriveworks in Montgomery, AL, different therapists might employ different strategies and methods for reconnecting couples. These methods might include one or a blend of the following:

  • Emotionally focused therapy (EFT)

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
