Initial intake sessions are centered around building trust and rapport while learning more about the therapeutic need.

Intake documents are signed and reviewed during the session and discussion of goals and expectations of the therapist/ client(s) relationship.

Couples therapy is based on the Gottman Relationship Method. The initial intake session is conducted jointly with both partners. During this session, we review the intake documents and explore the challenges that brought you to couples therapy, as well as your goals for the process.

Following the initial session, the next sessions are conducted individually with each partner. These sessions help gain deeper insight into what each person is seeking from the relationship and assess each partner’s level of commitment. Discussions may include relationship patterns learned during childhood, past relationships, and expectations for the future of the relationship.

After the individual sessions are completed, couples will return for a joint session. During this session, the results of the assessments are reviewed and a treatment plan is collaboratively created and agreed upon.

Sessions are scheduled for 53 minutes which is considered a ‘therapeutic hour’.

Note- There is grace of time given for those in crisis or have extenuating circumstances to address.

This decision will be made at the discretion of the therapist and billed accordingly.
