We coach you to revise what you?re doing, via homework or real-life experimenting, what works toward mutual happiness.You probably both think you are reasonable people, but if your relationship is rocky, probably you are misapplying your knowledge. If you think you can keep doing the same things and get different results, don't call us. But if you're ready to find workable solutions, we're ready to help you do so.We prefer action and efficiency, so we prefer conjoint cotherapy - We?re a couple seeing you as a couple. We each can understand and support our own gender, or the other; we can alternate, or even split offices as needed. So we get to the point faster. We?ve found, over our 27 years working together, that this is the most rapid, efficient and long-lasting approach. Think of it as intimate debugging. Especially in sexual issues, we each represent our own gender client more easily. But even in more traditional, single-therapist work we consider carefully both sides. If we don't and you don?t, nothing very productive can happen for you. We deal with human difficulties, not sickness. Hence, we avoid diagnoses, which must use mental health codes.If your trouble might get resolved quicker with medication, we?ll coordinate with your medical doctor or staff. May we help you? Do call.
