Complete the Form

**The first 3 sessions will be 90 minutes long unless recommended otherwise by your therapist. 

COUPLES THERAPY FORMAT: 

We do Intensive Sessions (longer sessions) for couples because this is what most couples need. Our sessions are generally 90 minutes long. Some couples may require more time, up to 2 hours. Your therapist will make recommendations by the end of your first Intake Session about the length of time that is right for you and your partner. 

OUR APPROACH:

Our approach is collaborative, integrative and deeply respectful. We believe fairness, justice, mutual respect, and sensitivity is a strong foundation for any marriage. We also know that 70% to 80% of communication is non-verbal. We integrate somatic (body inclusive) and expressive therapies in our work with couples. This is both to improve communication and also to heal traumatic stress, if applicable. 

YOUR FIRST 3 SESSIONS:

The first three sessions are assessment sessions. We take the time to evaluate your marriage, both its strengths and challenges in order to give you a customized and comprehensive plan by the end of your third session. This includes recommendations of the particular path you and partner will need to take as individuals towards healing within the context of the marriage, as well as what will be required of both of you in order to create the kind of marriage you most want. 

NEXT STEPS:

Let us know which time works best for you and your partner, and we will book your first appointment. 

Once your appointment is booked, you will be sent an invitation to our secure client portal where you and your partner will be asked to fill out intake forms separately. Please allow about 15 to 20 minutes to fill out these forms. Please have them completed the day before your appointment so your therapist has time to read them. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our office at admin@danceofchange.com or by phone at (314) 827-5448.
