How can Robin Bryant, Ph.D. counseling help?
As a licensed Psychologist, I provide professional guidance and support that help couples and families address ongoing relationship issues and family conflicts. Counseling helps those struggling with specific issues by providing a safe and positive environment to express concerns, identify core issues, and find practical therapeutic solutions to their problems.
How many counseling sessions are required?
The number of sessions varies for each couple depending on their particular situation. I begin with an in-depth evaluation to discuss your primary goals, which helps determine the required number of sessions.
Should I attend the first couple counseling session alone?
It's always best when couples attend sessions together. If your partner is reluctant to enter couples therapy at this time please email me so we can discuss possible approaches to this problem. Make sure he or she is also receiving the email since they need to be aware that you are reaching out independently. My response will also include him or her.
Is marriage counseling confidential?
Providing a safe and confidential environment to couples is of utmost importance. As a licensed therapist, I'm required by law to respect client confidentiality. In accordance with state and federal laws, a licensed therapist or counselor is only required to disclose information regarding any individual who displays an intent to harm themselves or others.
What can I expect in our first session?
Your initial counseling session explores the primary issue and core struggles that prompted you to seek counseling. I help couples identify and set precise goals to derive the maximum benefit from their counseling sessions.
How can I get the most out of marriage counseling?
Counseling can be a highly rewarding experience for couples seeking constructive solutions to their problems and who are fully committed to resolving the relationship and family issues they face. Active and willing participants achieve results from my effective counseling programs.
