Our approach with couples is a structured and developmental model customized to each couple that walks through our doors. Our work with couples is unique to the couples and marriage counseling field in that each individual of the couple works with their own therapist both individually and as a team to provide the greatest opportunity of success for the couple. In this way, we can balance any gender bias that often occurs in traditional single therapist settings.

The number one problem that each couple lists when they meet with us is a problem with “communication” in their relationship. This is a catch all word that often can mean a plethora of issues in how the couple interacts with each other. The first session is designed to “triage” the relationship and give us a quick assessment of the needs of the couple and to help the treatment team design a plan for each individual as well as the relationship as a whole.

We thoroughly assess the conditions of communication, trust, honesty, quality time, intimacy, personal time, spirituality, outsider involvement, the safety of the environment, coparenting and dysfunctional coping skills within each relationship. We also focus heavily on education, teaching each couple new skills and tools on how to effectively communicate with each other, how to build trust in the relationship and how to avoid repeating the same bad habits they have learned along the way.

Research has found that the average couple waits 6 years before seeking the help they need in their relationship. There is no need to wait any longer to receive the support necessary to improve your relationship, contact us today to set up your first evaluation appointment.
