Our Assessment Process: We complete this assessment process for every couple.

Session 1: 60 minute conjoint session to outline desired goals, concerns, relationship history, assess current functioning and get an overview of the process.

At home: You complete the online assessment through the Gottman Connect.

Sessions 2 and 3: Separate 1:1 sessions with each partner to address individualized histories, concerns and Gottman Connect information.

Session 4: Conjoint session to present all the information gathered from the online assessment and 1:1 sessions. This includes a recommendation for the structure of treatment moving forward and will include any referrals that may be beneficial.

After the assessment is complete, our goal is to be as short term as possible, getting you back to your life. Most couples complete their initial goals within 6 months, but some matters such as betrayal, trauma and substance abuse may take longer.

Sessions are scheduled to your busy schedule, some couples meet weekly, some bi-weekly. Our goal is to taper them over time, but you have full agency over how this feels and how much support you desire.
