Couple Therapy Services
“We are not the same person this year as last, nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.” – Somerset Maugham
Couple Therapy
Couple therapy encompasses work with any two people wishing to begin, enhance, repair, or dismantle an intimate relationship. Sometimes one or both people in a couple do not know whether they wish to work toward increased connection and intimacy, or to break up. I may need to spend some time with each person to explore individual perspectives before proposing a plan of action.
I currently provide mainly virtual therapy within B.C. Sessions are usually biweekly and 1.5 to 2 hours in length, although I am flexible about scheduling.
I maintain a waitlist and prioritize couples who have taken my three-part introductory series, or another RLT training such as the Essential Skills weekend workshop. By attending this series you will be several sessions ahead once you begin couple therapy, as you will have learned about the concepts and terms that form the basis of Relational Life Therapy for couples.
Essential Skills of Relationships Workshop (also known as the RLT Bootcamp)
This is a two day workshop designed by Terry Real that covers all the essentials of Relational Life Therapy. If offers a very powerful introduction to the model, with many useful exercises and tools for couples. This workshop will give you a flavor of what to expect with an RLT therapist, and also put you several sessions ahead, as you’ll understand the theory and the terminology we use. Therapists who take the workshop are offered 12 CEs.
Supervision or Mentoring
I offer individual or small group supervision or mentoring for therapists wishing to learn or deepen their skills with RLT.
