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.
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.
It’s highly possible that you and your partner are also experiencing relationship or marriage difficulties that are harming your connection, and driving distance between both of you. At Thriveworks in Cypress, TX we’d like to offer you hope through couples therapy or marriage counseling. With help from one of our mental health professionals, you and the one you love can start to repair the relationship that you hold close. Reach out today for help.
Should We Talk with a Couples Therapist?
It’s up to both parties in the relationship to decide if they need to seek professional assistance. But if you decide that you’d like to work with a therapist or counselor, you’ll be making a choice that prioritizes your relationship and offers you the support and guidance of a provider who cares. Though each relationship is different, there are common signs of unhealthy dynamics that may be able to be improved via therapy or counseling, including:
- Avoiding physical touch or sex
- Lying and other forms of emotional manipulation
- Arguments that last for hours or days
- Passive-aggressive or abusive behavior
- Inability to respect each other’s boundaries
- Cheating
These are just a few of the many different ways that negative emotions and behaviors can harm your relationship. If your relationship with your partner has been compromised by other actions or behaviors, you can still talk with one of our mental health professionals.
