FAQs about Marriage Counseling in Atlanta
What is marriage counseling?
How does Marriage Counseling work?
Your therapist may have you fill out an online assessment about the relationship that gives helpful information and diagnostics as to the strengths and growth areas in your relationship.
Going forward, almost all sessions will be with both partners. The therapist will lay out a blueprint for your work together which may include homework assignments to practice outside of sessions. This will be based on the information gathered from the first couples and individual sessions and will be tailored to your specific relationship goals and presenting concerns.
When is Marriage Therapy needed?
- Increase in fights/nasty conflict
- Feelings of loneliness, disconnection, or emotional withdrawal
- Lack of physical intimacy
- Inability to solve problems together
- Financial management issues
- Infidelity, abuse, or addiction
- Feeling that you’re growing apart or don’t share the same values/goals
- Issues around raising children/parenting
- Lack of support from your spouse
- Trouble with trust
- Issues with in-laws or other family members
- Stress because of phase of life changes (birth of first child, career changes, etc.)
There are other reasons couples seek help, too, including prevention. Even if nothing has happened, relationships can slowly decline if there is no intentional effort to improve them. Couples therapy can help ensure your relationship stays strong and healthy. It can enhance an already good relationship, and help it be even better! Many couples wait too long to seek help, so if you find yourself struggling or unhappy, don’t wait to reach out.
