Couple Counseling

Most couples become lost and seek couple counseling after about
3 years together. Some take longer, some shorter.
Unfortunately no one teaches couples what's healthy and normal
to expect after the honeymoon. Therefore, you are
terribly unprepared for what comes. You're likely feeling
bewildered at how you got to where you're at. This is
typically when folks begin to considering divorce, a thought
they never believed they'd consider at the alter.
There's good news. You're likely in a
normal relationship cycle, we commonly call it the Wheel of
Love. And, you're in the part where the relationship
becomes real. During this phase, couples begin to hit
blocks they didn't encounter before. You learn things
about your spouse that weren't initially obvious to you.
Additionally, there were things about him/her that you thought
were cute, but now are annoying.
The two primary keys in this phase of the
relationship are (1) Can you learn how to conflict
successfully? and (2) Can you each accept the other - the WHOLE
PACKAGE - the good, bad and the ugly? If so, and we can
teach you how, then you're in for a wonderful gift. The
next phase of the relationship full of intimacy. Intimacy
is a naturally occuring thing for those couples who connect at
a deep level, feel understood and decide to reclaim their
sacred friendship.
Couple counseling can occur with one
person! Yes, it's true. Oftentimes one wants to
pursue help without their partner knowing. Other times
the partner will have none of it. The question is often
asked of our expert therapists, "Can it work if I'm the only
one who is working on the relationship?" Our experience
is a resounding YES. Maybe like you, we'd prefer both of
you attend couple counseling, but your relationship can be
qualitatively better by your investment alone.
We begin with a full 2-hour couples intake
session. All needed follow up session are 45-minutes,
costing $85 per session.

counseling is not for you if you are seriously
considering hurting yourself (suicide) or hurting someone
else. If you are currently suicidal or afraid you may
hurt someone else you need to immediately get yourself to
a local mental health hospital or facility. In an
absolute emergency call 911 for help or dial 211 for a
national help line.
