Communication and Getting Needs Met
Sometime partners have difficulty coming to agreement or communicating on certain problems or the have developed a pattern of escalation when there are differences. They may have one big open decision to resolve or many small unresolved ones that have accumulated. They may feel their partner does not care or understand there needs and point of view. These couples can benefit from Gestalt Brief Couple’s Counseling.
Discernment Counseling
There are couples contemplating divorce. One or the other is leaning out of the relationship, the other is leaning in to the relationship. They are ambivalent about staying or going. One or both are not committed to working on saving the relationship. Discernment counseling is 1-5 sessions with 3 outcomes. 1. Stay as it is, 2. Commit to separation or divorce 3. Intense commitment for a period of time, taking divorce off the table, to make it work. The goals are clarity and confidence in this very significant decision.

Counseling Sessions
In session: I observe, reflect, challenge, provide expertise, teach, and facilitate a new way to interact to get each parties needs met now and into the future; even if there is divorce or separation.
- The first session only requires a commitment to find out what is possible, its not a commitment to couples therapy until the goals are defined.
- After the initial meeting a decision can be made to either work towards a mutual goal in couples therapy or, if one party is not clear or committed work on bringing clarity and resolution to the couple.
- Or work with an individual in “Individual in relationship” to help that person be the best they can be both in and out of the relationship now and in the future.
