If You Identify With Any Of The Bullet Points Above, You’re Not Alone…
There may be recurring problems in the relationship that they just can’t seem to get past on their own. Couples therapy can give a new perspective and identify each partner’s role in unhealthy patterns. You may begin by pointing a finger at your partner but ideally you will also grow to understand your own contribution. When each partner begins to ‘own’ their part, great progress can be made. My goal is to help couples get back on track by conducting a thorough assessment of their marriage. I will explore how you met, how your relationship progressed and eventually come to understand where it went off the rails. I will ask each partner to complete a Gottman Survey to help identify areas within the marriage that need specific attention. Through our time together, you both will learn not only about each other, you’ll come to learn a lot about yourselves. I look forward in working with you to put your marriage back together.
Frequently Asked Questions About Couples Therapy/Counseling
What can I expect at the first session?
Prior to your first appointment, there will be a number of forms you must fill out online. The first session can last between 50 and 60 minutes. I will will review the completed forms with you and will answer any questions you may have. We will talk about your concerns and what you hope to accomplish through therapy. If you are brining in your teen for therapy, the parents may be invited to join the session for the last 5-10 minutes at which time we will discuss if you both think I’m a good fit for your teen and family.
How long can I expect to be in counseling?
Therapy sessions are typically 60-75 minutes, You will typically meet on a weekly basis depending on your needs. Typically, most clients meet with me for 10-12 sessions, (3-months) however, together we will decide the best course of treatment and what your needs are as a couple. Some couples may just want to opt for preventive and maintenance therapy to assure the line of communication remains open and healthy. For those couples it is recommended to purchase annual packages of 12 and visit at least once per month.
Will the Therapist tell me how to “fix” my problems?
Counseling is not a quick cure for your problems. The Therapist/ Counselor is there to help you explore your feelings, thoughts, and concerns; to examine your options; and to assist you in achieving the goals you have set. Therapy, like life, is a process. I strive to help you learn to trust this.
Do you accept Insurance?
We currently accept Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, UMR,and most comprehensive Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Every insurance plan is different. When you fill out your initial paperwork, you will submit a copy of your insurance card so I can contact your insurance company and verify eligibility of benefits. Uninsured patients or patients that prefer private pay can benefit from discounted rates and package savings.
