Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling in Red Bank, NJ

Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling in Red Bank, NJ

Nikki and Chris have been together for almost two years and their relationship is moving pretty quickly. They are about to get married and just bought their first house together. Everything was smooth sailing until Chris’s mom was diagnosed with cancer. Now he spends much of his time by his mom’s side, putting his relationship with Nikki on hold. While Nikki accompanies Chris when he visits his mom, the stress he has right now is rubbing off on their relationship. Nikki wishes that she could support Chris in the ways that he needs but he refuses to open up about his feelings.

Nikki and Chris’s situation is very unique. However, if you’re in a relationship, you know that ups and downs come with it. Whether you’re dealing with a diagnosis, struggling with mental illness, or can’t seem to communicate, it’s difficult to see eye to eye and come out of these situations stronger. If you and your partner are struggling with a particularly tough challenge or just need some extra guidance when communicating on certain topics, a licensed marriage and family therapist can be your support system.

You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” – C.S. Lewis

How Does Marriage Counseling or Couples Therapy Work?  

When you and your partner decide to pursue counseling, we understand that that can be a tough decision. Admitting something isn’t working right and choosing to get help is a very strong choice. It shows just how dedicated you are to your relationship. When you choose to work with a Thriveworks counselor or therapist, you can trust that you will receive well-rounded, comprehensive care that starts with you and your needs. To ensure this, your counselor will work with you both to understand what your needs and goals are. With that information, they will create a unique treatment plan for you and your partner.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling are designed to help you accomplish things like…

  1. Better communication skills
  2. Stronger bonds and better trust
  3. Active listening skills
  4. Effective problem-solving techniques
  5. Establishing roles in the relationship
  6. Understanding each other on a deeper level

If you choose to work with Thriveworks Counseling in Red Bank, you and your loved one can work towards these goals and much, much more. To do so, a variety of different therapeutic techniques and strategies will be utilized such as traditional talk therapy, narrative therapy, and more.

In What Areas can a Therapist Help Me and My Partner?

As we have briefly mentioned, the reasons that you and your loved one seek out the help of a therapist can vary greatly. Whether you’re in a situation like Nikki and Chris or a different situation entirely, our therapists and counselors are highly trained and qualified to help you through any difficulty you’re facing as a couple. There are many reasons why couples seek therapy, including…

  • Mental illness such as anxiety or depression
  • Financial strain and stress
  • Difficulty conceiving
  • Infidelity by one or both partners
  • Poor communication
  • Lack of trust
  • No intimacy
  • Parenting disagreements
  • Values that don’t align
  • Coping with a physical diagnosis
  • Grief and loss

These are just a few of the areas that a counselor or psychologist at Thriveworks Counseling can help with. In instances when you and your partner are unable to effectively communicate, work together, or resolve past trauma, your therapist can guide you in making tough decisions like whether or not you and your partner should stay together. Sometimes it’s best for both individuals to split up, and that is totally okay, too. We will help you do whatever you can to get you to a spot of mutual respect and understanding before something like that has to happen. Regardless, we will provide you with a safe and open space to communicate freely about the issues you are having.
