FAQs

What happens in relationship counseling?

Many times couples come to a session and think that they will each get a turn to share their side of the story and that the counselor will sit and listen and then make a decision as to who is the one with the “right” perspective. In our counseling approach, we believe that every story is the “right” story if you take the time to understand it. Our work with couples helps each partner to see the perspective of the other partner even when the two are not in agreement.

Does relationship counseling always help?
