Starting Marriage counseling

What is marriage counseling?

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in New Haven, CT 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:

  • Jealousy
  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing values
  • Different visions for the future
  • Disagreements in parenting
  • Lack of trust
  • Financial distress
  • Sex issues

How does marriage counseling work?

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.

Is marriage counseling conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does marriage counseling last?

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 New Haven, CT work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.

Can My Spouse and I Benefit from Working with a Marriage Counselor?

The short answer is yes! Most married couples could benefit greatly from the guidance and support offered by a professional. When you decide to pursue marriage counseling, you are not admitting failure. Instead, you are both putting your relationship first and showing each other just how big of a priority it is in your life. Admitting that you need a therapist can be hard though. Consider the following questions:

  1. Are my spouse and I on the same page when it comes to starting a family and raising our kids?
  2. Do my spouse and I feel fulfilled on an individual level? Do we need to work on ourselves more?
  3. Have we encountered intimacy issues? Are we currently experiencing them?
  4. Are my spouse and I happy in our relationship overall?
  5. Do we communicate effectively, or do we need to work on our communication skills?
  6. Do my spouse and I argue a lot over small matters that make us feel angrier than necessary?
  7. Has either of us been unfaithful in our marriage? Are we having a hard time working through this?

How Does Marriage Counseling Work?

During your beginning sessions, your marriage counselor will sit down with you both to see and address what your unique goals and challenges are. You both will be able to express your feelings on the situation to better help your therapist understand what action needs to be taken. Marriage counseling will most likely involve discussing present issues, past issues if they are still lingering for one or both partners, as well as developing skills and tools that will enable you to work through future issues.

You can expect to learn tools like:

  • Effective communication skills
  • Parenting tips and styles
  • How to tackle individual goals
  • How to manage family time

I love the format of telehealth in the evening. At a time where it's so challenging to find Psychiatrists, Thriveworks has been so easy to work with. And Ericka is lovely; easy to work with, easy to talk to, trustworthy, and very helpful.
