Couples Counseling to Build a Better Relationship

Relationships can be hard, but they don’t have to be. To get started we perform an initial assessment where the couple typically attends the first session together, then individually for the next two sessions. Afterwards you may receive feedback from the assessment and will establish goals for treatment. Sometimes the structure will look different than that, especially if only one party is ready for treatment to begin with. It is common for individuals to come in on their own seeking counsel regarding relationship problems.

During the first few visits, we’ll  identify the problems and concerns, and suggest tools to help establish a healthy environment by using the positives of the relationship as a building ground and reference point for areas of struggle. After the initial assessment, we work to refine the couple’s styles of conflict and repair to establish rules or guidelines that work for each individual as well as the couple unit.
