Couples Counseling
At Therapy Services, Texas, LLC, we follow a solution-focused approach. We prioritize understanding each of you as individuals, so we can better understand how you connect.
Free Consultation
As our first consult we offer a complementary 15-minute phone consultation. This is an opportunity for us to connect and explore the challenges that you are facing, and to determine whether working together is the best fit for your needs. We can answer any questions that you may have about beginning therapy together and set up your first appointment.
Initial Appointment
An initial couples therapy appointment is a 60-minute appointment. During this session, we will review your completed intake forms to ensure that we have an appropriate understanding of some of your history, your reasons for seeking therapy, and your goals for our work together. We will answer any questions that you have. We will also use this appointment to create some initial goals and mutual expectations for our time together.
Return Appointments
Return appointments are 60 minutes for couples counseling. During return appointments, we will work together on your goals and we will support you through the process. We will regularly check in about the progress of your mutual goals and make adjustments as needed to ensure that we are working effectively together.
