Couples Counseling- Initial Intake

Service Description

Initial couples counseling sessions are FREE. During an initial couples therapy session, couples can expect to meet with me to address relationship issues. I will work to create a safe and supportive environment in which both partners feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings about the relationship. I will ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of each partner's unique perspectives and experiences, as well as explore the history of the relationship and any specific concerns or issues that the couple would like to address. Couples therapy sessions may involve joint discussions between both partners, as well as individual conversations with each partner to gain a deeper understanding of their unique experiences and feelings. In this first session, I provide information about my approach to couples therapy and what clients can expect from future sessions. I will also discuss any relevant ethical or confidentiality issues, and answer any questions the couple may have. Ultimately, the goal of the initial couples therapy session is to establish a foundation for ongoing work and to begin developing a plan for addressing the couple's concerns. While it may feel challenging to open up to a new therapist about relationship issues, couples can expect to feel supported and respected throughout the process as I work collaboratively with them to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to their unique needs and goals.
