Couple’s Therapy. Yeah, this is a little bit like what the movies make it look like. There is definitely the ‘trust tree’ vibe to the things that we will talk about together, but it is for couples and that does not always mean married. There are many cases in which a couple is likely to benefit from some gentle assistance and rings are not required in order to receive respect and positive regard. But, if you have one, cheers to that!

During time spent in couple’s work we will focus on laying the groundwork for a lifetime of success and understanding by promoting good communication patterns and establishing (or re-establishing) patterns of communication that we know work for real couples because the studies have consistently demonstrated just how simple some things really can be at their core.

Using Gottman-based curriculum and fundamental Marriage & Family Therapy Skills, your ability to feel seen, heard, and loved will reach new heights. You supply one motivated partner, and we can do the rest together.

You can expect the format to be something like this:

Session One: Couple’s Intake and Assessment (come in together) Session Two: Individual Interview with One Partner Only Session Three: Individual Interview with the Remaining Partner Following Session Three You Will Be Emailed the Link to an Assessment; Once the Assessment is Completed by Each of You, We Will Do Session 4 Session Four: Review of Individual and Standardized Assessment & Plans Session Five & Beyond is spent applying evidence-based principles of practice and intervention to address the areas of the relationship that need some development and reinforcement, as well as learning to draw on the strengths that we have already identified! Fair Warning, There is Homework - since you do live most of your life outside of this office.
