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.

Christine is a great therapist that regularly gives me 'brain-expanding' ways of thinking and dealing with anxiety. My anxiety has changed and lessened so significantly since I started seeing her and I always look forward to sessions.

This has been my first time in therapy inspite of years of recognizing I could probably benefit from therapy. I'm sure we all initially come to therapy with our own preconceptions and a sense of 'what should I expect?' I even left my first couple of appointments wondering, 'Did I do that right?' But despite those reservations I immediately felt at ease sharing with Marina. I genuinely don't know how exactly she did it, but she was able to very quickly establish a rapport with me that's allowed me to open up in ways I wasn't sure I'd be able to. I've often finished a session and said to my partner, 'I love therapy'. That sense of being lighter and feeling heard and seen is the part of therapy I've appreciated the most.

Danielle is incredibly helpful in me understanding my diagnosis and recognizing destructive thought patterns. I quite honestly would be in a much worse mental state if I did not have the input and guidance that Danielle has provided. I appreciate her knowledge and expertise when it comes to understanding anxiety and the triggers that may cause it.
