Not all couples and families are the same. Hence, not all therapy needs to be the same. While I offer open ended therapy for couples and families dealing with unique issues, I also offer a structured approach to therapy to coach couples experiencing issues that are common to most couples. What that means is I will follow a structured protocol for conducting the sessions. For most structured counseling the number of sessions range from 8-20 sessions, depending on the form and focus of the counseling and your ability to complete the homework assignments between sessions. Each structured counseling program will take place one session per week for the number of sessions indicated or number of sessions required. Structured counseling programs are approapriate for most couples and families who are not locked in a gridlock of conflict.
The fee for these counseling programs are $85 per session. The first session is 90 minutes and the following sessions last for 50 minutes: a short term investment for long term results. I accept some forms of insurance, so check with me to see whether your insurance will cover these sessions. Below I describe the various structured approaches, the format that we take, and the estimated number of sessions.
