Couples Counseling Assessment

A Couples Counseling Assessment should be done at the beginning of therapy to establish a baseline of the relationship’s health and identify areas for improvement. It can also be useful at various stages to track progress and adjust treatment plans as needed.

A Couples Counseling Assessment informs couples about their strengths, growth areas, and the underlying patterns affecting their relationship dynamics. It offers a clearer understanding of how their interactions contribute to their relationship satisfaction and provides a roadmap for improving communication and intimacy.

The Sound Relationship House Theory, developed by Dr. John Gottman, is a foundational model in couples counseling that outlines essential components for building and maintaining healthy relationships. This theory likens a strong partnership to a house, with two critical pillars—trust and commitment—supporting various levels that represent key relationship skills.
