What a First Couples Therapy Session is Like
I know beginning couples therapy can be hard. The first session alone can induce anxiety for any number of reasons: we don’t know one another, you don’t know what to expect, you might feel hesitant or doubtful about the whole process, you might be worried about what will come up in the session…. But my goal isn’t to find out everything about your relationship and diagnose where it went wrong: my goal in a first session is always to help you and your partner create a different experience of connection than the one which you are currently experiencing.

There's often a moment, early in relationships, when falling in love feels like magic. You hear something your partner says something that makes you think, "We're so alike!"

I have bad news for you. This feeling, as beautiful and intoxicating as it is, won't last forever. And when it does, you have a couple of choices: let this be the beginning of the end of curiosity in your relationship, or enter a deeper, more consciously aware stage of being together.
