I will meet with you both for couples counseling at the first session. After the first session, I will have you each complete a Gottman relationship checkup assessment. Then I will meet with you each individually. Finally, we meet again and discuss the findings and set goals. Most couples begin to see improved communication and more positive interactions with their partner within 6 - 8 sessions.
