How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling conducted in person or online?

Marriage 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 marriage counseling last?

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

She made me feel comfortable talking about difficult topics and gave me a safe space to open up. She helped me with everything I needed and more.

★★★★★
I get triggered and upset easily at times because of past trauma but Bailey really listens to me and never makes me feel bad about it. Even when I get upset towards Bailey, she helps me get through it and never makes me feel bad for taking it out on her. I've had 4 other therapists before Bailey but this is the first time I feel like I can trust someone with these thoughts and feelings.

★★★★★
What I appreciated most about my experience was how quickly I was able to get connected with care. I reached out to Thriveworks on a Thursday morning, and by that evening I had already completed my initial session. That level of responsiveness made a meaningful difference. Dr. Rampersant was incredibly professional, thoughtful and easy to talk to. She created a comfortable environment, listened carefully and asked insightful questions that made our conversation feel productive from the very beginning. I left the session feeling heard and supported. Based on my experience, I would absolutely schedule another appointment with her and would confidently recommend both Dr. Rampersant and Thriveworks to anyone looking for mental health support. At this point, I don't have any suggestions for improvement. My experience from scheduling through the session was smooth and exceeded my expectations.
