Common relationship issues

When your relationship is ailing, there are many factors and relationship habits that are dysfunctional to the relationship. According to Dr. John Gottman, the following are dysfunctional in relationships that are suffering:

  • Decreased emotional and physical intimacy.
  • Persistent arguments or conflicts.
  • Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected.
  • Unresolved past issues affecting current relationships.
  • Inability to trust or open up due to past betrayals.
  • Avoidance or withdrawal from important discussions.
  • Struggling to express feelings or needs effectively.
  • Inability to trust or open up due to past betrayals.

Our Biggest Limitation is What We Tell Ourselves.

Become the Best You Possible.

Relationship Treatment

At The Well Woman, we use the Gottman Method when treating couples. The Gottman Method seeks to help couples build happy and stable marriages. We will work towards this during counseling with an overall goal of building a “Sound Relationship House”. We will focus on the nine components of The Sound Relationship House: Build Love Maps, Share Fondness and Admiration, Turn Towards, The Positive Perspective, Manage Conflict, Make Life Dreams and Aspirations Come True, and Create Shared Meaning, Trust, and Commitment.

Effective Relationship Disorder Treatment

A detailed assessment is completed with the couple when counseling is initiated. This is typically done during the first three sessions. In the first session, we will meet with you together as a couple. We will go over the treatment process and consent. During couples counseling, there is no confidentiality from one another during sessions. There are no secrets and the therapist will not keep secrets from or for a partner in the relationship. Couples counseling cannot work with secrets. The first session is used to gather the history of the relationship, pertinent family history, and the main concern that brought you to counseling. At the end of the initial session, you will be given instructions on how to complete online questionnaires about the relationship. These are to be completed by each person individually before the next session.

In the second session, the therapist will see the couple individually for two 45-minute sessions. This is to assess each person’s commitment to the relationship, hopes and expectations for counseling and the relationship, the cost/benefit analysis of staying in the relationship, safety in the relationship, mental illness or emotional concerns, and the presence of betrayals or affairs. Again, there are no secrets and everything that is said is potentially public information during couples counseling. There may also be instances where it is determined by the therapist that couples counseling at The Well Woman, LLC is not appropriate for the couple. This could include if there is violence in the relationship, as couples counseling could be unsafe and traumatic for the victim, or an ongoing extramarital (extra-couple) affair.

In the third session, we meet with the couple and further discuss the findings from their questionnaires. We develop goals for treatment based on the assessment, the couples’ wants, and The Sound Relationship House. Once the assessment is completed and goals are developed, it’s time to get to work and build the relationship you desire.

Our Relationship Services

We do not accept insurance for couples counseling. We are happy to provide a receipt so that you may file a claim for Out-of-network benefits. We understand the needs of every couple are different and we want to ensure we meet each couple’s needs. We have multiple servicing options available for couples counseling. Options for couples include:

Standard Couples Counseling Sessions (Marital and Premarital, 50 Min)

Extended Couples Counseling Sessions (Marital and Premarital, 90 Min)

Mini Marathon Sessions (Marital and Premarital): After the initial assessment has been completed, the couple may engage in 3-hour sessions with the recommendation of the therapist. This option is great for couples who travel often or are only in town for limited amounts of time or whose schedules do not allow them to go to weekly or biweekly couples counseling. It is also a great fit for couples who need to get help immediately.

Retainer Couples Counseling Sessions (for marital/committed partners, not premarital counseling): The couple may retain hours each month to be used towards counseling. These hours are purchased as a package and must be used within the month between the 1st and 30th/31st. The couple is guaranteed to be seen by the therapist for the amount of hours purchased during the month. Couples may purchase retainer hours towards sessions after the Initial Assessment is completed.
