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

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is to build rapport with the couple. I want both individuals to feel safe in knowing that I will be partial throughout this process. I find the best benefit in each individual providing their own perspective in each situation because this will allow their partners to know where they are coming from.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling:

  • Conflict resolutions skills
  • Communication skills
  • Conflict repair skills

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 a client is able to make couples therapy a priority and are practicing their new skills when in conflict with their partner.

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

Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with using and implementing exercises learned, use worksheets as a script, and do homework assigned

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

To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can have an open mind, be truthful and ask questions about the process.

I would definitely recommend Thriveworks to my family and friends. My talk therapy with Nadia Hines has been very helpful. I look forward to our sessions and I leave each one with the belief that I will become better soon.

Ms. Hines is as professional as they come. Her voice is calming, and her professionalism is top notch. She will not only tell you want you want to hear, but what you need to hear to help you work through your concerns and issues.
