Save Your Relationship With Couples Counseling

“You’ve been true to your word. By the end of our first couples counseling session, we both felt confident that we had reached a turning point. For the next three months we did your homework and built our own ‘roadmap to peace‘. The work you‘ve done with us has been invaluable, and the changes we‘ve made have sustained over time. Our relationship has been renewed. Thank you, Christine.”

Work Together, Individually, or Both

You can work together as well as individually to help you meet your goals.

When couples want help, they might reach their goals for the relationship faster or more surely when they engage in individual work with their therapist.

I may choose to work with individual partners in couples counseling in order to understand how individual issues create problems in the relationship.

Couples counseling without individual work may be enough to move your relationship to a new place of happiness and stability. You may know already before moving forward that you are only willing to work in therapy as a unit.
