An overview of the couples healing services at Thrive Beyond Trauma Counseling & shows how these approaches work together — So you can begin to understand your options without needing to choose perfectly.
Each approach listed below has its own dedicated page with detailed explanations, benefits, & suitability. This is simply a place to begin.
Foundational Couples Work
This may fit if: Communication feels strained, & you want skills-based support.
This is not for: Active addiction, chronic secrecy, or unresolved disclosure.
Rebuilding Connection & Closeness
This may fit if: You feel disconnected, intimacy is strained, & the relationship is stressed but stable.
This is not for: Acute betrayal trauma or active deception.
Addiction-Related & Trauma-Informed Care
This may fit if: Trust is broken, addiction or trauma is involved, & safety & clarity feel lost.
This is not for: No addiction & no secrecy/betrayal-related trust rupture.
A Structured Process for Truth, Safety & Clarity
This may fit if: When major information is withheld, stories have shifted, & you can’t move forward without full clarity.
This is not for: Unstructured “truth dumping”.
Repair, rebuild, reconnect after clarity
This may fit if: When words no longer feel enough, doubt won’t settle, & verification would support safety.
This is not for: Punishment/control, or when someone cannot safely/ethically complete a polygraph.
Advanced Repair After Truth-Telling
This may fit if: Conversations feel unsafe, disclosure is complete & paced repair is needed.
This is not for: General couples therapy or early-stage repair before disclosure/clarity is established.
Traditional couples therapy is not always the safest place to begin.
A different starting point is often needed when there is:
- Active addiction with ongoing deception
- Unresolved or avoided disclosure
- Acute betrayal trauma
- Significant emotional destabilization
*The right starting point prevents further harm.*
*You do not need to know exactly which service fits before reaching out.*
If connection feels strained → repair-focused work may help.
If trust has been broken → betrayal-informed care is essential.
If disclosure has already occurred → post-disclosure support may be appropriate.
*Clarity comes before commitment.*
We’ll help you find the safest starting point — No pressure.
When you’re ready, we’re here
