Couples Therapy
Romantic relationships are an expression of love, but relationships need more than what is in your heart to sustain them. Any deep connection with a significant other (or others) can benefit from the support of couples therapy. Speaking with a ThriveWell relationship therapist can help you learn more about how your loved one communicates, care for them when they are struggling, or resolving conflict in a way that is helpful, rather than hurtful.
Will Going To Couples Therapy Help You?
If you and your loved ones are both willing to show up, actively participate with therapy and work to repair a relationship, there is hope. Statistically, couples therapy is 75 percent effective, which are pretty good odds! If you can remember that you’re on the same team, and focus on honesty, curiosity, and above all, the love and attraction that first brought you together…your relationship will likely improve.
Couples therapy can benefit individuals in many ways. You may notice improved communication, deeper intimacy, or that you resolve conflicts quicker and with less tension. ThriveWell therapists provide a safe and supportive space for you and your loved one to discuss your feelings and work through any challenges you may be facing. You’ll begin to better understand your own emotions and behaviors, as well as those of your partner. Our goal in couples therapy is to help you to develop a stronger and more fulfilling connection with your partner.

The Benefits Of Seeking a Couples Therapist For Newer Relationships
A big misconception is that people only need to see a couples counsellor when things are going badly in their relationship. Why wait? The old saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” definitely applies to early relationship therapy.
One of the best decisions you can make for a relationship that you see being a long term commitment, is to ensure great communication from the beginning! Are you considering moving in together? Setting up clear boundaries and expectations before cohabitation can prevent many challenges later on. Do you want to improve your sexual connection, or bring up the topic of having an open relationship? Navigate and explore your relationship options with one of our caring therapists. Setting yourself up for success means getting the right support, and we are here to provide that to you.
Counselling For Better Communication
Therapy can be a game changer for helping you to both understand and be better understood by the ones you love. ThriveWell has sensitive, and thoughtful relationship counsellors to help to reopen the conversations that have been shut down due to misunderstandings, to offer new insights into the emotions behind the words.
One of the most common reasons that people reach out for couples counselling is a breakdown in communication. Putting the focus on the intentions and feelings can help to show what has really been going on in your relationship. When you are able to feel seen and heard by your partner, as well as, seeing and hearing them, your love and connection to one another becomes stronger.
