My go-to approach for helping people in couples counseling begins with identifying their goals. I utilize an eclectic approach, including Gottman methods, to assist the couple in learning various tools to gain a better understanding of their own thoughts and emotions and approaches to communicate these with their partner. I prefer to let the clients identify their needs first (with assistance, if needed) and assist in educating them on tools for more effective communication. I enjoy teaching and supporting others to feel heard by their partner.
In couples counseling, I teach clients how to:
Clients will know they are making meaningful progress in couples counseling when they are able to utilize tools that they have learned in therapy in their day-to-day lives and have more confidence in navigating interactions and/or discussions since the onset of treatment.
Clients can supplement their time in family therapy with journaling, self-reflection, and efforts to utilize tools outside of sessions. Identifying triggers or conflicts outside of a session can also be beneficial discussion topics for sessions.
To prepare for their first couples counseling session, an individual can:
Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in The Woodlands, TX 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 Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling 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.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in The Woodlands, TX work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
Over 2 million couples get married each year. That’s 2 million people who say their vows and promise to spend the rest of their lives together. On the other hand, around 800 thousand marriages come to an end each year when divorce is finalized. Instead of signing marriage certificates, they are signing divorce papers. But why do so many marriages split up? While that question is virtually impossible to answer because every situation is unique, there are some common patterns that couples go through. Poor communication, lack of trust, and no connection are three of the big ones. When the roads get rocky, it might be time to reach out for additional help.
Marriage counselors are experts who dedicate their work to helping couples work through the issues in their marriage. In addition, they help their clients improve communication, build trust, and strengthen their overall bond. If you and your spouse are struggling to see eye to eye or have a unique problem standing in the way of having a happy marriage, consider working with a marriage counselor at Thriveworks in The Woodlands, TX. We can help you get back on track. To get started, just give us a call and a scheduling specialist will help you set up an appointment.
As we briefly touched on before, marriage counseling is designed to help couples with all different types of issues and concerns get back to a healthier relationship. No matter how long you’ve been together, therapy can work. Here is a list of common topics discussed in marriage therapy:
We can also help you address more problems than just in the list above. If you decide to work with a marriage counselor at Thriveworks in The Woodlands, they will help you tackle whatever issue you are having either through in-person or online counseling.
The mental health professionals at our office are dedicated, highly trained, and experienced in helping spouses work through their problems and regain a deepened connection. Reaching out for the help of a professional is not admitting defeat. It’s acknowledging that there is a problem and wanting to fix it in order to, in some cases, stay together. You are showing just how much you care about your relationship and want things to work.
Admitting you need help isn’t always easy. Sometimes one partner or the other won’t be excited about going to therapy, and that’s okay. Sit down with them and discuss why you feel like this is the best decision for your relationship and what it means to you. Discuss these questions:
When things get tough, it’s easy to turn a cold shoulder and wait for things to be swept under the rug. However, all that does is build up more walls and prevent you and your spouse from being with one another. Marriage is hard, and that’s normal. We can help you when things get a little too tough. Don’t wait any longer. Let’s get started.
To schedule your first session, give us a call or visit our online booking system. We offer a wide range of appointment times and don’t have a waitlist. We also accept most insurance carriers and offer easy self-pay options as well. If you have any other questions about what marriage therapy can do for you, just reach out.
