Couples Group Therapy in Raleigh, NC
Couples skills group therapy is a 6-week communication class for couples where partners learn and practice research-backed relationship tools alongside other couples.
Your Journey Through offers this couples skills group in Raleigh, NC, either in person at our Six Forks Road office or virtually for couples anywhere in North Carolina.
When Your Relationship Needs More Than a Date Night
Maybe you keep having the same argument in slightly different outfits. Maybe you're rebuilding after trust took a hit. Or maybe nothing's wrong, exactly, and you just don't want to wait until something is.
Between dual-career schedules, kid logistics, and traffic, a lot of couples here never get around to the relationship work they keep meaning to do. A set 6-week format is easier to say yes to than open-ended weekly sessions.
And there's something about sitting with other couples working on the same things: it takes the shame out of it, and you pick up skills faster when you hear them landing for someone else too.
Support You Can Trust
Your Journey Through was founded in 2016 by Mary Beth Somich, LCMHC, a Columbia University–trained counselor, and we've been supporting the Raleigh area ever since.
Our team includes credentialed clinicians at both independent and associate levels (LCMHC, LCMHCA, LCSWA), and every therapist here works as an ally, not an authority. You're the expert on your relationship. We just bring the tools.
How the Couples Skills Group Works
Submit the interest form. Tell us a little about you and your partner, plus whether virtual or in-person sessions suit your schedule.
Hear back to confirm fit and format. We'll follow up to talk through which option works best for the two of you.
Join the 6-week group. Attend at our Raleigh office or join the virtual group from anywhere in NC.
Practice between sessions. Try the communication and conflict-resolution skills at home, then bring back what you noticed.
Communicating with your partner in ways that actually land
Rebuilding trust
Fighting fair
Research-backed conflict-resolution strategies
Attachment styles, or why you each react the way you do
Intimacy, mindfulness, and connection
These are communication skills for couples you can actually use every day. This is a skills-building group, not ongoing couples counseling, so the focus stays on practice rather than open-ended processing.

You want structured, time-limited skill-building instead of open-ended therapy.
A couples support group appeals to you, and the peer support of learning alongside other group members feels less isolating than working through relationship challenges alone.
You'd rather start with a lower-commitment format before considering individual therapy for your relationship.
If hesitation is what's holding you back, it may help to read through some common misconceptions about couples therapy before you decide.

Couples Group Therapy FAQs
-
Yes. It's a structured, skills-focused therapy group where several couples learn together with a therapist guiding the group. It draws on research-backed approaches, including Gottman, and it's distinct from private couples counseling.
-
You learn practical skills for communication, trust, and fair fighting, then practice them together between sessions. Hearing other couples work through similar struggles also makes your own feel less isolating, and a set 6-week format can feel like an easier commitment to make.
-
Research on group therapy in general says yes. The American Psychological Association reports that group therapy is as effective as individual therapy for a wide range of concerns. If you want private work focused only on your relationship, private couples therapy is still an option.
-
We're an out-of-network practice, so we don't bill insurance directly. We can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. Coverage depends on your plan, so check your out-of-network benefits first.
-
No. This group teaches skills on a set 6-week timeline in a shared setting. If you want private, ongoing work tailored only to your relationship, private couples therapy with one of our counselors is the better fit.
