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.

Need more help deciding?

Do you struggle to connect with your significant other? Are you two struggling to make time for intimacy? Do you argue incessantly?

“Just as you go to the gym regularly to keep your body fit, regular couples therapy can keep your relationship fit as well.” –Laura Wasser

If you and your significant other struggle to connect, prioritize intimacy, or communicate effectively, you might worry about the fate of your relationship or even think about calling it quits. But the truth is that every relationship experiences these and other issues, and every couple is capable of making meaningful changes—especially with the help of a professional.

What Can I Learn in Couples Therapy?

Are you and your partner looking for Oakland therapy? Your Detroit couples therapist at Thriveworks West Bloomfield in Oakland will discuss your needs and goals for your relationship. Then, they will build a customized treatment plan that’s right for you and your partner. Couples therapy can prove valuable for many reasons, but one huge benefit is that your provider can offer professional tips for working through the issues that plague your relationship. Here are a few examples:

  1. Communicate more effectively: A common blunder for couples is poor communication. It’s easy to shut down when you feel uncomfortable about a topic of conversation, say one about finances, but it’s important that you open up and discuss it with your partner. Remember: Honesty is always the best policy.
  2. Take action: While talking through your problems is important, taking real action is equally important! Brainstorm solutions and then bring those solutions to reality by taking action.
  3. Manage your expectations: You can’t expect to build the perfect relationship overnight. In fact, sometimes moving forward means taking a few steps back first. Keep this in mind as you embark on this journey of creating a happier, healthier relationship.
  4. Stay positive: It’s also important to remember all of the good in your relationship. Don’t focus solely on the bad. Take time to shine a light on and appreciate the positive things in your relationship.

Your Thriveworks West Bloomfield couples therapist in Oakland County will work to guide you toward the relationship you want and deserve. They come equipped with the skills, the experience, and the training to make a meaningful difference in your relationship. And they can prove it—schedule a couples therapy appointment today.
