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.

Get Shrink’d – Be Yourself Again

What do you look for to measure the health of the relationship?

Friendship

How knowledgeable are you about each other’s likes/dislikes? How comfortable do you feel around each other? What are your general opinions of each other? Do you have regular shared experiences (dates, dinners, projects, etc.)?

Personal Responsibility

Does each person accept responsibility for their part in creating conflict? Does the couple validate each other’s viewpoints and accept each other’s influence?

Fondness

Is there a sense of togetherness among the couple? Does the couple feel like a team? Are their inside jokes known only to the couple?

Commitment

Is there a commitment from both parties to work towards reconciliation when there is a disconnect? Does each person hold a long-term perspective in regards to the relationship? Does each person desire to work towards building and maintaining a healthy relationship?

How do you know when it’s time for a couple to be done with therapy?

The couple stops avoiding fights and finds ways to deal with them effectively
The couple has quality conversations about perpetual issues without prompting from the therapist
The couple begins to feel like they don’t need therapy anymore
There is more “we” language among the couple – more of a team atmosphere
