To create a reconnecting foundation and develop skills that can create more safety, we strongly recommend 10-12 sessions. As soon as possible during the course of your sessions we will encourage you to attend one of our "Getting the Love You Want" couples workshops. We find that this workshop reduces the number of counseling sessions you will need. This workshop is equivalent to 6 months of couple's therapy and for some couples the workshop alone is enough.

MST is perfect for couples who are considering whether to become (or remain) engaged. It's not at all unusual for couples to experience doubts about marriage and commitment, even (and in some cases, especially) when they have announced their engagement or set a date.

Most partners want to improve their relationship when there has been conflict or a rupture in the relationship, but they also want to feel safe and not blamed for all the problems in the relationship. When you call us we will coach you through how to invite your partner safely. 202-449-3789 x719

We never get into “who said what to whom” and we never dredge up the past or attempt to place blame.
