Ups and downs in relationships are normal but sometimes the downs last longer than either of you expected. Perhaps you’re facing a lack of intimacy or a breakdown in communication. Maybe your disagreements have started leading to guilt and resentment instead of healthy resolution. You might be living together under the same roof but feel more like strangers than a loving team.

If any of this resonates, couples therapy or marriage counseling might be a great fit for you. A strong romantic relationship can be one of life’s greatest gifts but a meaningful partnership requires dedication.

Many people grow up dreaming of finding their soul mate and living happily ever after. However, once you are in a real relationship you discover how much work is truly involved. It doesn’t matter how much you love your partner or how great you two are together. Remaining in a committed relationship over a long period of time calls for hard work, open communication, and compromise.

Sometimes, couples just need a little outside support or professional guidance to help get things back on track. If you’ve been thinking about couples therapy, we’re here to offer unbiased and compassionate support at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ.

Common Reasons To Seek Out Relationship Counseling

Though there may still be a stigma associated with therapy, the truth is you don’t have to feel embarrassed about seeking help. In many ways, pursuing relationship counseling shows that you and your partner care enough about each other to work through whatever problems are getting in the way.

These are a few of the most common reasons couples seek the help of a licensed couples therapist:

  • Communication issues
  • Infidelity
  • Intimacy issues
  • Sex life dissatisfaction
  • Stress from family and friends
  • Feelings of jealousy
  • Major life changes
  • Trust issues
  • Financial problems
  • Parenting difficulties
  • Navigating a breakup
  • Substance abuse

Relationship counselors work with couples to address a wide variety of issues. Therapy can focus on a specific problem or can help you work through more general topics.

You don’t need to wait until your relationship is on the brink of disaster before you reach out for help. In fact, many clients reach out for couples counseling when their relationship still feels relatively healthy so they can address issues before they become crises.

If you’re unsatisfied with the way your relationship is heading or you want to resolve a conflict in a neutral environment, consider getting professional support. Contact Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ to speak to a licensed couples therapist today.

The Benefits of Couples Counseling

Some people think catastrophic thoughts once they start experiencing problems in their relationships. But every couple goes through ups and downs; it’s how you work through those difficult times that determines whether you grow stronger together as a result.

Like many areas in life, sometimes we run into relationship problems we just can’t seem to get past on our own. At Thriveworks, our relationship therapists have many years of experience helping couples just like you work through issues and come out the other side as a more resilient and loving pair.

Talk therapy is one of the most effective ways for couples to gain insight into their underlying issues. Therapists provide a neutral and confidential space where couples can speak openly about their feelings and work through disagreements. Your couples therapist can even help you identify ways in which your own thinking patterns may be impacting your moods and behaviors.

The Gottman Method is another effective approach to relationship therapy. The method treats a relationship like a house that requires a strong foundation to thrive. You may identify activities with your therapist that will help strengthen this foundation for a lasting bond.

Another focus of the Gottman Method is improved communication since this is what can often make or break a relationship. You may learn, for example, how to use “I” statements to discuss your needs in your relationship as well as skills to reduce criticism, contempt, and defensiveness.

No matter how short or long you’ve been together, couples and family therapy can offer help to get you back on track. Experienced relationship and marriage counselors are standing by at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ.
