FAQs about Couples Therapy
What is your couples therapy style?
I am the advocate of the couples' relationship. I do not side with either partner. Instead, I encourage both clients to have an active collaboration with me, both serving as experts of their relationship with differing points of view. In other words, the relationship of the couple is my true client.
What happens in the first session?
I will ask each of you about your goals in the relationship, and will ask about each of your backgrounds as well as the history of your relationship. This may take one-two sessions.
Can we have longer sessions?
Yes. Depending on the nature and urgency of the situation of you and your partner, I do offer double sessions. Please ask me about this if you are interested.
How long does each therapy session last?
My sessions are usually 45-50 minutes.
Is it okay if I seek individual therapy with another therapist while seeing you with my partner for couples therapy?
Absolutely! Individual therapy is a great investment in yourself. There may be issues that are better to work on in individual therapy than with your partner.
