Couples & Marriage Counseling
We provide tailor-made, research-based interventions in couples’ sessions with measurable goals to repair and rebuild your relationship.
80-Min Sessions (1.5 Hours)
Most sessions are scheduled for 80 minutes (1.5 hours) because most couples hit their stride after the first 50-60 minutes. The extra time allows for a more thorough discussion with measurable goals for the time between sessions.
Some clients prefer or need to meet weekly, at least initially. Others may meet for bi-weekly couples sessions to allow for individual sessions every other week for strategic and/or budgetary reasons.
The goal of couples counseling
The goal is that you eventually have the skills earned to become your own counselor on an ongoing basis. Each couple’s treatment plan is tailor-made for the presenting issues they bring into the initial intake session. It is monitored periodically throughout counseling to assess if the goals are being met and if a measurable impact is being made.
