Couples Therapy
What are we going to talk about in couples therapy? Are we just going to have our same fight in front of a third party?
Here’s my approach:
Understand the pattern
First we’ll start with creating common language to better understand what is happening in these cyclical fights. We’ll identify your unhealthy communication styles, learn how it came to be, and create compassion for the failed connection attempts.
Learn why it isn’t working and what to do instead
Next, we’ll explore why these patterns aren’t serving you and what to do in these moments that will create a different outcome.
3. Experience more closeness and connection with your partner
As you practice the healthier alternatives, closeness and connection with your partner arise more naturally.
What to Expect
This is the structure I use for the first five sessions:
Session 1: Couples Intake Session
Session 2: Individual Session
Session 3: Individual Session
Session 4: Couples Session to Review Goals for Treatment
Session 5: Hit the ground running
