What is your go-to approach for couples/marriage counseling?

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is solution-focused. I find the best benefit in this approach because every relationship is different, and each couple holds a unique set of beliefs about what a relationship should look like, allowing each couple to uncover their own goals and hopes for the future.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

In couples/marriage counseling, I teach the following tools:

  • Communication skills: learning to effectively communicate and understand each other
  • Constructive conflict resolution: learning ways to compromise and effectively communicate during disagreements
  • Intimacy building: building both emotional and physical closeness in relationships
  • Love language assessments: ensuring that both partners are giving and receiving love in ways that work for them

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when they state they are using the tools they have learned in therapy. I will notice that couples laugh more during sessions and appear as a team rather than two separate individuals.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement couples/marriage counseling?

Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with recommended readings, individual therapy, and practicing exercises and tools learned in therapy.

What should someone do to prepare for starting couples/marriage counseling?

To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can reflect on your relationship historically. Take time to think about the areas of your relationship that need improvement but also focus on the areas of strength in your relationship as we want to build on this foundation moving forward.

Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling in Quincy, MA—Relationship Counselors

Are you considering attending marriage therapy? As the years go by, ups and downs in any relationship aren’t uncommon, but that doesn’t make them a breeze to deal with. Know that you and your spouse certainly aren’t the only ones experiencing challenges, and that support is available when you’re ready. In fact, now may be an opportune time to consider seeing one of our Quincy, MA marriage counselors, couples therapists, or relationship experts!

The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists advises that if you’re struggling with stress, unhappiness or issues in your relationship, the sooner you and your husband or wife begin counseling, the more likely you are to have a positive outcome. Why wait until things start feeling worse between you? Reach out today to schedule an appointment with Thriveworks Quincy.

Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling: An Investment in Your Relationship

Regardless of how much you love each other, you and your spouse aren’t going to agree on everything all the time. Arguments are normal, and outside factors like stress at work, health worries or issues with friends can end up putting additional strain on your marriage.

Quite often, couples who are experiencing problems wait too long to pursue therapy because they don’t think the situation is “bad enough” to require it. But why let small issues come between you? If you love your partner and are feeling stuck to address what’s bothering you, counseling is well suited to getting you back on track. You may even want to think of it as an investment in your future happiness.

Common Marital Issues Addressed in Couples Therapy

While the circumstances surrounding your situation are unique to you and your spouse (or partner), there’s a good chance you might be dealing with what’s known as a common relationship issue. While the specifics are different, many couples disagree over matters such as:

  • Spending and budgeting habits
  • Interference from extended family
  • Concern about a partner’s career situation
  • Feeling anxious about potential infidelity
  • Struggling to communicate effectively
  • Feeling angry or resentful.

At Thriveworks in Quincy MA, expect a safe and supportive environment where you can address your challenges with a sensitive and pragmatic therapist.

We Can Help You Adapt to Changes in Your Relationship

Many couples who see marriage therapists at Thriveworks Quincy, MA have otherwise great relationships, but there are some occasions when despite their best efforts, things just don’t work out. It might not be what you dreamed of on your wedding day, but if you do decide to separate, our therapists can still provide support and guidance throughout such a tough transition.

Whatever you decide, seeing our couples counselors can serve to strengthen your marriage or result in a less stressful and acrimonious separation. If you have property to divide, pets to share or especially children to co-parent, this is an ideal situation for spouses who do go their separate ways.

I am very happy to have worked with Amanda Bright. She always had a smile on and a positive attitude. She was great she with the clientele; she was encouraging and empathetic but also showed much discipline and great work ethic. She is very attentive and would make a great choice as a therapist.
