We encourage our Veterans and service members to address any personal concerns through individual therapy. This can coincide with family therapy. During individual therapy, counselors may offer opportunities for your partner or other family members to join in the session, once or twice. This can provide an opportunity for your family members to learn more about your needs and ways to best support you during your treatment. 

Our counselors specialize in the Gottman Method for couples therapy. Veterans and service members often like this approach because it provides specific tools and a systematic strategy for improving relationships. You may find that addressing any personal concerns through individual therapy helps you get the most out of your couples therapy sessions. 

We also offer opportunities for your partner or other family members to join your individual therapy sessions, once or twice. This can provide an opportunity for your family members to learn more about your needs and ways to best support you during your treatment.

Our counselors use therapy approaches such as:

• Communication improvement through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Learn techniques to improve communication.
• Transgenerational Approach. Identify familial patterns that are affecting current relationships.
• Gottman Techniques. Assess relationship problems and get research-supported interventions.
• Prepare and Enrich. Get insights to foster healthy relationships, especially pre-marital relationships. 

We understand the benefits of including family members in treatment. We’re honored to be able to support the Veteran’s and service member’s readjustment with these additional services.

We use the evidence-based treatment of integrative behavioral couples therapy (IBCT) in addition to other interventions. We provide these services as an additional way to support the Veteran or service member.
