This is an information-gathering session, where we hear about the current problems in the relationship, the history of the relationship, other pertinent information and some individual history. From this we can understand if the problems with the relationship stem from difficulty in problem solving communication or something more deep seated.

Often couples struggle with the same problems over and over ?not really solving them. We help couples stay on the problem-solving task, clearly identifying the issue, calmly discussing its aspects and then talking about the various alternatives. Our role is to help both partners find the solution that works for both of them.

This depends on the problem. Some couples learn problem-solving communication quickly and in only a few sessions their relationship can benefit tremendously.
