typical structure of couples therapy
- First Session: We will discuss the story of your relationship, the reason that brings you to therapy, and the goals you want to achieve, and begin to identify conflict resolution obstacles and communication problems affecting the relationship
- Second session: I will have one individual session which each of you to hear your personal views and needs
- You will both complete an individual assessment that will give us a map of the strengths and weaknesses of your relationship
- Third Session: We will meet again to discuss the results of the assessment and make a plan of action.
- In the following sessions, we will practice proven techniques to improve communication, bring back joy, re-ignite the connection, heal the areas that are bringing pain. and work towards your goals
- You will practice these techniques in between sessions, and as your relationship starts to improve we will begin to space out our sessions until you no longer need my help or intervention, at which time we will terminate regular therapy.
- From then on, you can make an appointment occasionally as needed, when there is a stressor, or when you want a "tune up"
