FAQ
Helpful information about the value of preventive counseling and what to expect during sessions.
Yes. Our therapists are relationship experts for individuals who are single as well as those in a relationship.
If you’re an individual who is not currently in a relationship, we can help if you’re grieving the loss of a relationship or want to break patterns that have prevented you from having a fulfilling relationship.
Many individuals in a relationship come to see us without their partners.
You might want to come alone because you want to work on your own problems that you’re having in the relationship.
You may also want to attend therapy by yourself if you’re ambivalent about staying in or leaving your relationship and want help making a decision.
If your partner is unwilling to attend therapy with you, you may also want to attend counseling alone. Once you make positive changes in your behavior, it’s possible that your partner may also make changes that will help to improve your relationship.
In addition, if your partner sees you benefitting from therapy, he or she may later decide to attend therapy with you.
Sometimes therapy doesn’t work because the timing is off. Maybe one or both of you weren’t ready to make the commitment to therapy in the past.
Or, maybe you didn’t stick with therapy long enough to solve the deeper issues, so you reverted back into past negative patterns once you ended therapy.
Perhaps the therapist or the therapist’s style or methods were not the right fit for you.
Just because you didn’t get the results from therapy that you hoped for in the past, doesn’t mean you won’t get better results this time.
Just like anything in life, if you don’t get what you want or need, it’s important to keep trying.
Of course! You likely argue enough at home, so we don’t want you to do that in our therapy office. We create a safe and structured environment for you to work through your problems in a constructive manner.
We show you concrete skills that can help you not only solve your current problems but will help you long into the future. Our goal is for you to have the skills you need so that you likely won’t need to come back to therapy.
Absolutely. We’ve helped many couples heal when there has been a betrayal.
When infidelity has occurred emotions can be very intense. The person who had the affair can feel ridden with guilt and the partner can experience deep pain and anger.
It can take some time to work through these feelings, but with the will and a commitment, our therapists can help you move through this painful experience and come out the other side stronger than ever.
It’s even possible that your relationship can become more fulfilling than it’s ever been.
Yes. Often sexual problems occur simply because couples are uncomfortable discussing them.
Our therapists are comfortable discussing any sexual issues with you. We can help you resolve even the most difficult sexual struggles so you can have a more satisfying sex life and a more enjoyable relationship.
Dr. John Gottman is one of the most prominent couples’ researchers that exist today. He has been researching what it takes to have a successful relationship for over 40 years.
By observing couples interact for a short period of time, he can predict with over 90% accuracy whether the couple will stay together.
Even with this statistic, any couple can overcome even their most destructive patterns of relating if they are committed to having a better relationship.
We use the Gottman method because it is grounded in science and has excellent practical tools that can help you and your partner enhance your relationship.
