Relationship Assessment

Maybe you are just wanting to do a three session relationship check-up to see how things are going overall in your relationship. Or perhaps, you are wondering if your relationship is beyond repair and if it is worthwhile to pursue treatment. Or perhaps you know you want couples therapy, but you want a treatment plan that is specific and orientated towards achieving goals.

A relationship assessment will provide you as a couple with insight about your existing relationship and a research-based roadmap for change. This evaluation helps identify unresolved issues and highlight hidden strengths. It also serves as a treatment planning guide, saving time, energy, and money in therapy.

A thorough investigation of the relationship is performed by over the course of three sessions alongside an online questionnaire.

  • Session 1: We will meet for the first time and we'll discuss what you want to work on together as well as explore the trajectory of your relationship.

    — You’ll receive a Relationship Check-up Questionnaire to complete before our individual sessions —

  • Session 2: We’ll meet individually one-on-one for about 45 minutes each to get a fuller picture of each of your perspectives and experiences in the relationship.

  • Session 3: You will receive detailed feedback on the strengths and challenges in your relationship along with a treatment plan and we can decide how to proceed. The discussion includes what aspects of your relationship are healthy as well as what needs attention, along with information about research and interventions about what is needed to help the relationship thrive. And we can decide how to proceed from there.

The rates for the Relationship Assessment are the same as Couples Counseling. You can find them in the FAQ or when you read About the Practice.
