How often are sessions scheduled?
Sessions are generally scheduled weekly until there is an improvement in the problem. After that time, sessions are spaced out.
How long does treatment usually last? We generally see people 6-8 times over 4-6 months. We have several clients who complete their work more quickly, others who take longer. We also have clients who schedule regular monthly or quarterly appointments with us … just to stay on track. How long are sessions? Sessions last for one hour. We are open to contracting for longer sessions as some would like to spend a more concentrated amount of time, especially if they are traveling from out of town. Should I come for couples counseling, even if my partner will not come with me? Absolutely, while we generally prefer to see couples together for at least the first session, there are often ways that we can coach half of a couple to try different things as a way of impacting the relationship. Sometimes, working with one person might even be better. When one changes it affects the other.
What generally happens in the first session? We use the first session as an opportunity to get to know each other so that we can both evaluate if we are able to work together … if we can be helpful to you and you can feel comfortable with us and our style. When we are working with couples, we generally like to see both together the first time. At the first session, we want to get an understanding of how each person would describe the problem that brought them to therapy, then we spend more time on setting goals and getting a clear understanding of how things will look when therapy is over. We also want our clients to leave with a clear understanding of some steps that they can do take. Often we will provide homework, exercises or reading for clients to complete in between the sessions. What is your approach/philosophy as a couples’ therapist? We are highly influenced by recent research by Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Gottman, (The SevenPrinciples For Making Marriage Work), and the positive psychology of Martin Seligman (Authentic Happiness). While we often want to understand some about the origin and effects of the problems, we are more concerned with eliciting each partner’s and the marriage’s strengths to build toward solutions. Do couples really find success in couples counseling?
Research indicates coming sooner rather than later is important. All normal couples have difficult times when they feel stuck and treating couples’ consultation as a normal event in the marriage is healthy. Even with long-stuck patterns, change can occur with motivation, effort, and the right approach.
