LEXINGTON COUPLES COACHING SERVICES

You can find help with couples counseling with Lexington Couples Coaching Services to bring your relationship back in harmony.

IT’S NOT TOO LATE.

Are you disappointed in the state of your marriage? Do you find yourself feeling more frustration than love for your partner? Have you found yourself questioning if you married the right person? Perhaps an affair or betrayal has you questioning if you’ll ever be able to trust your spouse again. Or maybe you just miss the emotional connection you once had.

A stressful relationship impacts every aspect of your life. It affects how you interact with your children. You may find yourself snapping at your children, then feeling guilty afterward. It affects your job performance. You may be distracted at work, or more likely working long hours to avoid going home. It affects your health.

Are you numbing out on food or alcohol because you’re depressed about your marriage? Are you carrying around extra weight because food is your only source of joy?

Couples Coaching can help address these issues!

I use Dr. John Gottman’s method, which is based on over 40 years of research. The Gottman Method is considered the gold standard for couples counseling, now you can use his tested methods to improve your relationship.

Relationship Coaching is designed to both teach you how to deal with conflict, and also to strengthen your friendship and build skills for a happy, healthy relationship. At the core of a happy marriage is a strong friendship. Together we will focus on your emotional needs, decreasing the frequency and intensity of conflicts, improving communication, and helping you both remember why you fell in love in the first place.

Blueprint for Couples Therapy

  1. An initial intake session where I meet with you and your partner together.
  2. You and your partner complete an online assessment.
  3. The next two sessions I meet with you individually to gather your personal histories.
  4. Feedback session — the three of us meet together to go over my assessment and initial treatment recommendations.
  5. Interventions begin and ongoing assessment.

Couples Intensive Packages
Intensives are packaged in multiples of three hour sessions designed to allow us to process issues in depth without the time constraints of traditional therapy. After our initial consultation, and your online assessment is completed, I will meet with each partner individually. Then I will make a recommendation as to what length of package is appropriate for you.

This is the ideal format for couples therapy. So much time and money can be saved by getting down to business and focusing on issues instead of trying to work piecemeal week by week. I find that momentum is lost when sessions are cut short and weeks go by between sessions. Additional sessions may be necessary. Together we will re-assess where we are with your treatment goals to continue to develop a plan tailored to you. This is an investment, but I assure you it’s far less than the cost of a divorce and will likely have better results. I strive to be the best option for couples counseling in Lexington.
