Couples Therapy

Personalized support for your relationship.  

Holding Hands

Sessions are offered virtually across the state of North Carolina or in person in my Raleigh office. Day and evening weekday appointments available.

Most distressed couples are stuck in repetitive patterns of unhealthy communication, feelings of disconnection and hopelessness, and a lack of intimacy, amongst other areas of need.

 

The type of therapeutic environment I offer is one of openness, compassion, non-judgment, and gentle direction toward the complex truths that are causing dissatisfaction and distress within your relationship.

 A thorough initial assessment, guided by the Gottman Method, will give you and your partner immediate insight into the dynamics in your relationship that are causing repetitive problems. A general overview of what a typical Gottman Assessment phase looks like is available here

 

The second phase is the gradual introduction of skills to address your areas of need.  At minimum, these include skills in conflict resolution, building friendship and trust, and deepening your sense of connection through shared dreams and meaningful goals. 

 

These efforts will gradually lead to greater relationship satisfaction and a sense of security.  

 

I am Gottman Method Level 3 trained and use Gottman Connect, an in depth assessment tool offered by providers approved by the Gottman Institute.  More information on the Gottman Method is available here

 

Consider scheduling a free 15 minute consultation call.  Email and text are also available for any questions or self schedule an intake here.

Initial Assessment

Gottman Connect Assessment tool & intake session.

 

Learn about your strengths and areas in need of growth.

Couples Therapy Sessions

Initial therapy sessions are recommended on a weekly or biweekly basis, depending on needs.

Duration is difficult to predict, however most couples are ready to transition to less frequency in as little as one month.

Therapy for Ongoing Support

Prevention is key for long term success.  It is recommended that you meet once monthly for a period of time, individualized to you, once initial therapy has completed. 

This is to prevent the  return of any relationship concerns that were addressed during therapy.

Payments &
Rates

HSA/FSA accepted

 

Insurance does not cover couples therapy. Sessions are not connected to a diagnostic code (such as depression) required by insurance companies.

I work with couples on setting a frequency of sessions and supplementary at home work to accommodate an attainable cost.

Schedule a complimentary initial consultation or email for rates and/or more information.
