SUPPORT FOR COUPLES | COUPLES COUNSELING My approach as a couples counselor can be described as interactive. I share my observations, insights and suggestions along with my knowledge of the latest research in the field of couples counseling. First Steps for Couples: Assessing Couple conflicts often take a bit of time to resolve. In the first few meetings, I explore with the couple their concerns, determine if couples work is recommended, and establish goals for the work we will do together. Couples Counseling: Working Through Once goals for couples therapy have been established, the counseling sessions typically involve both members of the couple in developing skills and strategies to help the couple improve their relationship. Couples are encouraged to practice the new ways of thinking, acting, and feeling that are discussed in session when they are on their own. Tune-ups Once initial goals are met, clients may return for help with new issues or other matters they would like to resolve. More For Couples An excellent resource for couples in the San Francisco Bay Area and via their website is the Couples Institute. Read My Article I recently wrote a short article called, Relationship Rescue: He/She Drives Me Crazy! One more thing... There are some excellent books out there for folks who like to get their information that way. John Gottman's book, The Relationship Cure: A Five-Step Guide for Building Better Connections with Family, Friends, and Lovers, is an easy read with lots of self-assessments and practical tips. :: posted by Ralph Notor, MFT 10/23/07 Psychotherapist in San Francisco | Therapist in San Francisco | Anger Therapist in San Francisco | Anger Management Therapist in San Francisco | Anger Management Training | Anger Management | Couples Counseling in San Francisco | Couples Therapist in San Francisco | Marriage Family Therapist in San Francisco | Marriage Therapy | Family Therapy | Hypnosis in San Francisco | Hypnotherapist in San Francisco | Hypnosis Therapy in San Francisco | Workplace counseling in San Francisco | Ralph Notor MFT | Ralph Notor | |
