If you’re coming to couples therapy for the first time, you probably have some questions about it. Here are some of the basics, with links for further resources. In relationship counseling, we meet once a week or every other week for 1.5hours. Most of the time the sessions will be together with you and your partner, but occasionally I will meet with each one of you individually.
During the first session, I will get some background information from you and will clarify your goals for working together. Once your goals are clarified, I will work with both of you to identify the strengths of your relationship and how to build on them. We also look at the challenges you have and how to understand them. Every couple has one or a few underlying patterns that cause most of their challenges. Once you identify them and know how to overcome them, your relationship can become much easier to manage and a lot more intimate.
