If you would like to increase your skills in couples therapy, please join us.

We study couples therapy by discussing cases and questions from our practices. You are welcome to present cases. You are also welcome to ask questions about any topics in couples therapy. 

For example, people have asked how to

  • start with a new couple
  • start sessions on a good note
  • handle difficult clients
  • choose the most important topic(s) to discuss in a session
  • deal with affairs
  • deal with anger
  • deal with verbal abuse
  • deal with narcissism
  • end sessions on a good note

We've got a lot to share about each of these questions, and many more.

When you do present a case, you can do so in any way you'd like. Some people make detailed case presentations; others briefly describe their couple and their question. 

With each case we do our best to answer the therapist's question. We discuss how best to proceed with the couple. We also consider the theories and interventions apply to all similar couples. Sometimes there are clear-cut answers; sometimes not. We understand that couples therapy can be very difficult.

You will learn new skills to use, and new interventions to consider. You’ll learn some new ways of thinking about couples. Also the art of deciding what-to-do-when. You’ll learn many different ideas, theories, and interventions – and which ones to use with whom. We draw on the work of Hendrix, Gray, Gottman, Johnson, and Real.
