* Couple and Mar riage counseling . This counseling is geared to improve marriage. The duration of this counseling is as long as it’s useful and both partners are committed to the process and goal.
Much focus is on communication skills and conflict management. See my page on Communication Skills for more detail on that subject.
* Discernment counseling . In one to five meetings, I help couples in which one or both parties are undecided about whether to stay together. In each session, I meet with each person individually as well as both together.
Ultimately, a decision is made either to separate, to work on the relationship for six months, or to wait to make the decision.
* Couple closure counseling . Typically, this counseling lasts only a few visits, but depends on the needs of the couple. Counseling in this situation is designed to establish effective communication skills for healthy conflict resolution as the couple encounters new challenges within their re-organized relationship. The goal is healthy family dynamics going forward. My page on Communication Skills elaborates on that topic.
