What to Look for in a Marriage Counselor

Choosing the right marriage counselor is an important step toward a healthier relationship. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a counselor:

1. Qualifications and Expertise

It’s essential to find a counselor who is highly skilled in marriage and family therapy. Our counselors at Sprout Therapy hold advanced degrees in psychology and counseling, and many are trained in specialized therapeutic methods like EFT and IFS, which are both recognized for their effectiveness in improving marital communication and resolving conflicts.

2. Approach and Techniques

Not every counseling approach is the same. At Sprout Therapy PDX, we utilize approaches that are backed by scientific research, such as EFT, which works to enhance emotional bonds. These methods have been shown to lead to lasting improvements in relationships, and our counselors personalize each session to fit your unique needs.

3. Empathy and Support

A good marriage counselor should make both partners feel heard, supported, and understood. At Sprout Therapy PDX, we pride ourselves on our compassionate approach. Our therapists take the time to listen carefully to each partner’s concerns, fostering an open, judgment-free environment.

4. Flexibility

Life can be busy, and sometimes it’s hard to find time for therapy. Sprout Therapy PDX offers both in-person and virtual therapy sessions, giving you the flexibility to choose the option that best fits your schedule. We also offer evening and weekend appointments for your convenience.


Benefits of Marriage Counseling

Couples who seek marriage counseling can benefit from improved communication, a deeper emotional connection, and healthier conflict resolution strategies. At Sprout Therapy, we’ve seen firsthand how counseling can transform relationships. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Improved Communication

Poor communication often lies at the heart of many relationship problems. Marriage counseling helps couples break unhealthy communication patterns, teaching them how to listen and express their feelings more effectively. Our counselors at Sprout Therapy PDX use proven techniques to help couples develop healthier ways to communicate.

2. Resolving Conflict

Conflicts are inevitable in any relationship. However, how you deal with them makes a huge difference. Our therapists teach couples practical tools for resolving conflicts calmly and constructively, reducing misunderstandings and preventing arguments from escalating.

3. Restoring Intimacy

Life’s stresses, along with unresolved conflicts, can reduce emotional and physical intimacy in a marriage. Sprout Therapy works with couples to restore connection and intimacy, helping partners rediscover each other emotionally and physically.

4. Strengthening Your Relationship Foundation

Marriage counseling is not just for couples in crisis. It’s also an investment in a long-lasting, thriving relationship. Sprout Therapy offers pre-marital counseling and ongoing check-ins to help couples stay aligned with their goals and continue to grow together.

How Marriage Counseling Works at Sprout Therapy

At Sprout Therapy PDX, our goal is to make you feel comfortable and supported from the moment you reach out. The counseling process typically follows these steps:
