My heart's desire is to come alongside your marriage and help.
Unknowingly, many couples waste valuable emotional energy focused upon the symptoms of an emotional issue instead of the issue itself. Symptoms such as infidelity, withdrawal, rage, abuse, etc., are often at the center of marital arguments. My approach is to invite the couple to consider the possibility that their ongoing arguments could be pointing to deeper unresolved issues within the marriage.

At the core, Trauma overwhelms our coping abilities. There are multiple long-term impacts of our wounds that can create an imbalance in our daily functioning. Sometimes after time, the way we coped and continue to cope becomes destructive. Overall, our psychological wounds impact every single aspect of our life, subconsciously, in deep unknown ways to us.

“True life is lived when tiny changes occur.” – Leo Tolstoy Hi, I’m Ashley Reynolds, and I am currently spending time acquiring my Master’s degree in Clinical/Counseling Psychology at Clayton State University (Go Lakers!). As a counselor here at Thriveworks, I’ll be receiving supervision from one of our trained therapists on-site. During my Undergraduate season, I also finished out at Clayton State University and received my degree in Psychology and Human Services. Some may ask, “Why choose this path? Why mental health?” Growing up, I spent time focusing on how different factors can affect the way each person continues through life

Marriage Counseling Therapists

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
