How to Fix Your Rocky Relationship – Therapists in Fredericksburg, VA

Most couples who’ve been together for years go through hard times. This doesn’t always mean it’s time to call it quits. If you’re in a relationship and don’t like the direction it seems to be headed in contact Thriveworks Fredericksburg, VA Counseling and Coaching. We can help you get back on track. Here are several steps you can take to get the process started.

Focus on your communication

If your relationship is rocky it’s likely that you’re not communicating well. Take the time to sit down with your partner and openly and honestly discuss the issues in your relationship. You can’t begin to fix them until you know what the issues are.

Find ways to take action toward a better relationship

Talk is good but action is essential. After you’ve identified the main obstacles in the way of you and a healthy relationship it’s time to figure out what to do about it. The right action will depend on the specific issues you’re dealing with.

Give yourselves time to get back to good

It’s good to want your relationship to get better but it can be counterproductive to expect that to happen on a particular timeline. It may be that your relationship begins improving as soon as you start working on it but it may take some time. Be patient and trust the process.

Do what you can today with an eye on the future

As you work on your relationship keep your long-term goals in mind. Don’t just make changes today and expect them to protect you in the future. You must incorporate real, long-term changes that will transform your relationship forever.

Take a look at the positives

It’s necessary to examine what isn’t working in your relationship but you also want to look at what is working. Let your partner know that you appreciate them. Communicate the things you love about them. This will make you both more open and willing to work on your future together.

If you’re stuck in a rut, dealing with anger, or are otherwise unhappy with your relationship you don’t have to give up. Work with a Thriveworks Fredericksburg, VA couples counselor with the experience to provide you with a focused plan that will get you back on track.

Best therapist I’ve ever had

★★★★★

I had the best luck with finding Krista! She helped me through so much. The doctors were quick to put me on several medications which made me feel worse with my anxiety and depression. So she helped me find different natural ways of coping. She had the best advice, it was honestly kind of a sad day when I realized I didn’t need her anymore. But I know who I’m going back to if I ever need someone to talk to again! Krista if you see this please know you helped save my life! Thank you!

Office Manager

I called and spoke with the office mgr Sandra on the phone..Man! She kept me laughing as she worked hard to accommodate my request, but due to my work schedule she could not find a good time for me, but she was so professional and pleasant , patient on the phone..i will definitely be calling back to Thriveworks to schedule an appointment as soon as my schedule allows..

Colette was very easy to talk to and going to her has helped me tremendously. Would highly recommend to anyone else in need of a therapist!

I just want to say that since beginning counseling at Thriveworks that it has been the best choice I could have made for myself. I know everyone goes into counseling with their own ideas of what to expect from their counselors. But Thriveworks Fredericksburg has the most comfortable atmosphere, my counselor is Amazing, and the staff is professional every time I call to schedule my recurring appts! If you need help Thriveworks Fredericksburg is the place to call! All I can say is kudos to Aimee K! Thank you!!

Excellent Staff!

The Thriveworks Team was PHENOMINAL! They were extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable. The counseling services I received was Exceptional!

Happy with everything except the 48 hr cancellation policy.

★★★★☆

Happy with everything except the 48 hr cancellation policy. 24hrs is pretty standard and more feasible when you have children.

I’m very relieved to have finally started therapy sessions with Robert.

I’m very relieved to have finally started therapy sessions with Robert. It’s taken me a while to make this move towards dealing with some outstanding hurts. I’m certain I’ve come to the right place.

Had a great first session with Annu.

Professional and helpful

Colette Brooks is the consummate professional in coaching and providing services. Ms. Brooks is approachable, non-judgmental, and extremely resourceful. She has a willingness to go above and beyond in an effort to help individuals over-come the many challenges life brings with it. Ms. Brooks is one of the most caring providers you will come across.

A Divine Amazing Encounter with Colette Brooks”

When I first spoke to Colette Brooks, her coaching skills was nothing short of divine, amazing and full of discernment. She was able to ask all the right questions and listen attentively to my ideas and turn my dream ideas into a business idea that I am more than overjoyed to be currently pursing. I am elated that I met her and it also did not hurt that she lead me to a degree where I am saving thousands of dollars per year. I am more than impressed with her coaching, counseling and 20 plus years of Human Resources and business knowledge. She is the real deal!! I know that my life, those ideas I had that linger within me that I was afraid to step out on and my family/legacy that I want to leave behind will forever be grateful to her kind, graceful wisdom and also her patience.

Everyone is very

Everyone is very nice and patient there. I appreciate all that they do.

★☆☆☆☆

Person answering phone who claims to be office manager, not helpful at all. Kept cutting me off as I was trying to explain my situation. Upon learning no new patients being accepted by the one counselor that specialized with our situation. I then asked if there was someone a director or another counselor I could maybe speak to for advice as to another facility, option plan or next step. But according to her she was the one with the know with all and that I would be told the same thing by them, that there was no availability at that location, (not what I was asking). My advice would be to be considerate of people calling we are most certainly dealing with pretty difficult situations and if this is the first person at the forefront taking the calls I wonder how many others have been left disappointed and needing help?

Just called. You state no waiting list on website. The first thing I was asked was about insurance coverage and second is can we put you on a wait list? How long is the list? Oh probably January. Like the middle end or start of January- no idea! No thanks
