INDIVIDUAL COACHING AND COUNSELING

YOU CAN HAVE THE LIFE YOU WANT .....

Individual  Coaching or Counseling is an Investment in You & Your Life

I have been helping individuals for over 25 years, like yourself who want to begin enjoying their life again.  Individuals therapy requires work and commitment.  It is a "process",  not a quick fix or "band-aid" for your life.  You did not become miserable with your life overnight.  It is important that an individual be committed to the therapy process and open to thinking and doing things differently. 

What to Expect from Individual Coaching and Counseling

In our initial evaluation session, I will ask you to discuss the problems and changes in your life that you want to make.  Together we will develop goals based on the changes you want to see happen in your life.  I will help guide you in making those changes.  For you to change the way you feel, you must change the way you think.  Your thoughts and perceptions can determine whether you enjoy your life or not.  I understand that you need help in making these changes, and I am here to help you regain control and begin to enjoy your life again.

COUPLES  BOOTCAMP

Have you and your partner discussed divorce?  Are you or your partner currently separated or thinking about separation? 

If you answered yes, then Couples Bootcamp is for you. 



Advanced couples therapy is ideal for busy professionals, couples who are thinking about divorce or are currently separated.  It is also for couples who want a fast-paced approach to working on their relationship and trying to keep their marriage together.  Your initial evaluation and sessions are in a

4 hour block of time on a Saturday (or another day of the week we agree upon).  This type of couples coaching and counseling focuses on understanding and beginning to resolve issues from the past,  improving communication, and strengthening your emotional connection.  I help you understand the tools needed to begin to reconnect with each other and discuss the research-based skills  needed to improve your communication, strengthen your friendship, and manage your differences calmly.  These sessions expedite the process of understanding and learning the skills needed to communicate and reconnect with each other.  You will move more quickly and effectively through the phases of couples therapy.  It would take 6-8 weeks of weekly couples sessions and individual sessions to reach this level of therapy after only 4 hours on 1 day.  Research supports that longer sessions in the beginning of couples therapy can be more effective than the traditional weekly coaching and counseling sessions. 

Phases of the weekend couples therapy are: 

  •Initial Couples Evaluation session:  ( 1 couples session - 1 hr)  In this session we will discuss your relationship history, the problems and strengths in the relationship.  Prior to this session,  you will each be sent a link to an online questionnaire to fill out and send back to me at least 3 days prior to the session.  (Total 1 hour)

  •Individual Sessions: ( 2 sessions total, 1 hour each)  You will each have 1 individual session with me so that I can better understand perspective of the relationship and the issues within the relationship.  Additionally we will discuss your experiences within your family growing up as these influence your current relationship dynamic.  ( Total of 2 hours)

•Final Couples Feedback Session ( 1 couples session - 1 hr) During this session I will discuss the finding of your "Relationship Profile."  These findings are compiled and analyzed based on your answers from your relationship and individual questionnaires.  My assessment of your relationship strengths and weaknesses will be discussed, along with treatment recommendations and how we will proceed with therapy.  ( Total 1 hour)

**During the 4 hours, we will take a few small breaks in-between sessions.

As your relationship improves, the goal is to eventually fade out therapy.  Research provides evidence that those couples who do not maintain and build on their progress made, but drop out before their therapy has been completed has a significantly high relapse rate.  Therefore completing therapy and following up with "maintenance" sessions are a very important part of therapy so as to minimize the likelihood of relapse.  

Following your final couples feedback session and based on your "Relationship Profile" we would then meet once a week for 2-3 weeks.  At your 3rd couples session, I will evaluate the progress that has or has not been made, and the work that still may need to be done.   From there I will recommend session frequency (at this point most likely we will not continue with weekly sessions, but may go to every other week or even once a month.  This again, completely depends on the assessment of the progress made and each couples varies).   It is important to maintain and build upon the progress you both have made in therapy.  Thus when your therapy is completed, I do recommend that you have a couples therapy "maintenance" session 6 months after our last therapy session and another couples "maintenance" session 6 months after that session.  

The cost for the Advanced Couples Weekend Therapy is $1,225 and cannot be scheduled through my online scheduler.  A deposit of half the cost of your reserved session is required at the time your session is scheduled, and the balance due on the day of your session.  Payment can be made with cash or debit/credit card.  (no checks accepted).  

**The cost of  Couples Bootcamp does not include any individual or couples sessions needed after Couples Bootcamp sessions.  Sessions after the Couples Bootcamp will be provided at a reduced rate.  Please inquire about the cost of these sessions.
