Starting therapy can be a huge leap of faith. We put our trust into a process that has a lot of unknowns. One of the reasons I use treatments that have been proven to be effective (evidenced-based treatments) is to take some of the unknowns away. The treatments we will be using, CBT and DBT, has been proven to be effective for thousands and thousands of people. Now that being said, there are still a lot of factors besides the type of treatment in predicting success. Do you and your therapist mesh well? Do you feel like you can trust them and open up to them about issues that are embarrassing or shameful? Are you ready to feel the pain that comes along with feeling better? Do you and the therapist have the same availability so that you can consistently show up to your appointments? Is it the right time to put effort into changing outside of the therapy room? If you are able to answer yes to all of these questions, your likelihood of seeing change will be increased greatly.

We start off with an intake. This is our first session and will be for an assessment and summary of what you are experiencing in this postpartum period. In our second session we will set goals that are relevant and realistic. We will set 1-3 goals to achieve in the next 3 months. We will then create a treatment plan around these goals to make sure we achieve them. Each session after that has the same structure. The first 5-10 minutes are to set an agenda for the session and to review your assignment for the previous week. For the majority of the session we will be getting deeper, processing and learning tools to help us in our day to day. The last 10 minutes will be reserved for pulling out one specific skill, thought, or activity to focus on for the week between sessions. The more you engage in the therapy learning outside of the therapy session, the faster you will see change.

I use the Gottman Method which is a treatment that is wholistic and is proven to be effective for thousands and thousands of couples. There are 4 stages of treatment that are a little different than other treatments. First: Assessment - We conduct an in-depth assessment of your relationship. This ensures that we are working on the core of the issues rather than the symptoms of the issues. - This process takes 4 sessions. Ideally, completed within a week or 2 so that treatment can begin quicker. Session 1: This is with both members of the couple and will be a brief summary of your relationship. Session 2 and 3: These sessions will be with each individual separated from their partner. This is your chance to be completely honest about yourself and your feelings about the relationship without worrying how the other person will respond. Between the first session and these sessions, you will fill out an in-depth questionnaire of the relationship and it will be reviewed in this session. *we do not hold secretes. We will also work towards sharing information with each other* Session 4: In this session, we come together as a couple again. We review everything from the previous sessions and go over the results of the questionnaire. We will also be making a treatment plan in this session. Second: Treatment We get to work! We usually start with connection, and communication. Each session, we will review what the relationship has been like between sessions and start wherever you need to for the session. We will learning tools and skills to be successful in each of the 7 principles that make marriage work. If you want to read about these 7 principles, check out this blog post.
