You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.
Discover how starting couples therapy can support your own journey toward a happier, more fulfilling life.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Relationships are full of ups and downs. One month you and your partner may be at a high: you don’t argue, household chores are split evenly, there’s no stress about bills. But the next month you could be having lows: your partner gets laid off from their job, there may be a death in the family, things start slipping, and you can’t seem to communicate properly. Working through the problems that you face is not always a walk in the park. When times get tough, a couples therapist can help you and your partner get back to a place of happiness and love.
You can’t just give up on someone because the situation is not ideal. Great relationships are not great because they have no problems. They are great because both people care enough about the other person to find a way to make it work.”
