Client will call or email about their need for Marriage Counseling. Darina usually calls them back the same day. Darina will offer initial appointment either the same week or the next week. The initial session is 90 minutes long and includes complete assessment of problems in the relationship, complete history of your relationship and an sample of your disagreement. Not to worry about this this is for me to see how the two of you handle disagree so I can assess this.Then we will schedule individual session for you, so you have an opportunity to tell your story and your perspective. After the individual session you will have a feedback session where I will provide you with extensive and detailed feedback on what specifically we need to work on, how will we work on it and how long will it take to accomplish your treatment goals. After this we will meet weekly, or biweekly to work on your marriage.
