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.

What Is the Best Marital Therapy?

When couples seek marriage counseling, they may have preconceived notions about how couple therapy works. They may already be familiar with some of the following evidence-based, effective approaches to couples therapy:

  • Emotionally-focused couples therapy (EFCT), which centers emotional bonds and works on strengthening them. Emotionally focused therapy looks at attachment and connection.
  • Gottman method, which employs love maps to help couples increase their mutual respect and admiration, and build shared meaning.
  • Interpersonal therapy (IPT), which looks at how relationships can affect mental health.
  • Narrative therapy, which seeks to achieve psychological insights by telling and retelling stories.

Therapists at Thriveworks in Tigard, OR may favor one approach over another, or they may use a hybrid method. Often it’s client personality and feedback that helps shape the treatment.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
