What’s Your Problem?
Why the Couples Clinic?
Ground-Breaking, Innovative Methods.
For decades, we have been at the forefront of those who are translating new findings from neurobiology and relationship science into practical methods for improving relationships. Therapists from all over the country regularly travel to the Couples Clinic to learn our ground-breaking approach.
A Clearly Defined, Step-by-Step Approach.
You’ll never wonder what the plan for improving your relationship is. We’re not shooting from the hip. We will assess your relationship and discuss our recommendations for you ahead of time. You will know exactly what you’re signing up for.
Daily Guidance.
Forging new relationship habits requires daily practice, not just weekly counseling sessions. With the assistance of smartphone technologies and exercises tailored to your specific needs, your therapist will function like a personal trainer, designing a individualized training program for you and providing “on-demand” guidance at the moments when you need it most.
Resources, Resources, Resources.
You’ll have access to our library of audio-recordings that provide step-by-step guidance when for all of the different types of conflict situations that arise in relationships. Plus, we’ll provide you with dozens of articles, worksheets, and exercises that are tailored for your needs.
Proven. Effective.
For over 35 years, we have been refining a power-packed, streamlined system for restoring broken connections.
Oprah Winfrey has called our methods “completely counterintuitive and wonderfully effective.”
Our guidance is practical, step-by-step, and straight to the heart of the matter.
We’ll pinpoint the changes that you need to make, guide you through the tough conversations, and steer you away from the rabbit holes that can sidetrack progress.
