Couples Counseling
The Center offers counseling to couples who are involved in committed relationships. In couples counseling, the counselor focuses on the relationship: the ways the two of you communicate; how your families-of-origin contribute strengths as well as problems to your relationship; issues of intimacy, finances, decision-making; conflict management.
Couples Inventories
Couples Inventories are a resource you as a couple may utilize to assist you and your counselor to focus objectively on critical relationship strengths as well as on areas where growth in your relationship would be beneficial. Your counselor can provide information about taking the inventory.
Couples Workshops
Couples Workshops are another resource for couples. In the basic Couples Workshop, you and your partner join with other couples to explore communication skills, conflict resolution, values, intimacy issues, financial concerns, and many other topics.
You can combine a Couples Workshop with a Couples Inventory that includes three sessions with a counselor to explore your strengths and growth challenges in greater depth. Since both persons in a relationship bring their personal histories as well as individual differences to the relationship, your counselor may recommend individual counseling to work on personal issues that contribute to relationship problems and difficulties.
