FAQs About Christian Couples Counseling in Minneapolis, MN

What does the Christian Couples Counseling process look like from start to finish?

We first start by doing a relationship history assessment and go over what goals you have for your relationship. We’ll set some specific objectives you want to accomplish and come up with a plan together. Then we meet pretty consistently as we are working towards the goals, while I provide exercises, tools and resources for you as a couple to practice weekly.

What can I expect to take away from Christian Couples Counseling in Minnesota?

I am trained in a very active approach to couples therapy and Christian marriage counseling. The sessions are much more than just active listening skills. We go over key habits that lead to successful relationships, and go over plenty of tools to help navigate conflict much more effectively. You can expect to take away a large amount of resources to approach your relationships with confidence.

What if my spouse absolutely refuses to participate in couples counseling?

I am a believer it takes two people to form a healthy relationship. But you can always influence a relationship and the direction it heads in. I work with many people individually on how to get things moving forward in their relationship. This really does require working with a counselor for coming up with a plan to best proceed.
