Couples Communication Program

Do you think that coming to couples counseling might be a waste of time and money? 

Many people feel this way because there are no guarantees and counseling is expensive.  It may also seem like signing up for something that has no end in sight. 

This program addresses those concerns.

How it works: I offer a special 10-session program for couples.  In this program, you will

a) learn how to listen and show your partner you have heard him/her

b) learn how to express your needs in a way that can be heard 

c) understand how your differences impact your communication

d) create solutions for improving your relationship

 

Who it’s for: This program is for those couples who find themselves fighting about the same things over and over without being able to come to a solution or resolution.  This program is also for couples who are having difficulty discussing a few major topics that have been issues in the relationship. 

Who it’s not for: Typically, communication skills are not the most effective route for couples whose communication breakdowns have already resulted in a great deal of either resentment or distance (“falling out of love”).  For these couples, the emotional dynamic between them is the first issue to address.  If it seems that the communication program is not the best first step for you, I will discuss this with you in the first assessment meeting.

Results: Couples usually report that the program gives them knowledge and skills that they never knew before.  Many wished they had known these skills since the day they met.  

In 10 sessions, you can become comfortable using new ways of relating that will help you throughout whatever challenges may come in the future.
