The Process

Prepare/Enrich is a curriculum many Clinical therapists use to work with couples like you. 

This program is for couples preparing for marriage and those who want to Enrich what they already have. Whether you're dating, engaged, or married, this program is for couples at any stage. If you choose to incorporate P/E you will take the initial assessment, and then will you will receive a personalized analysis of the results.  

Theoretical Approaches

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: The therapist will work with the couple/clients to examine and challenge poor thought patterns and unhealthy behaviors. Then, the therapist and clients will seek to supplant those thoughts and behaviors with healthier ones.

Structural Family Therapy: The therapist will examine the structure of relationships and identify how they function. The couple/client and therapist will analyze partner roles, power dynamics, proper boundaries, and more to re-orient relationships to a healthier state.

Contextual Therapy: As the name suggests, this type of therapy looks at how people grew up in the context of their families, and it seeks to find trauma expressing itself in current relationships.

Eric will use these techniques in sequence as clients' needs call for them. If necessary, we will begin at the surface level with cognitive behavioral and move deeper to trauma with contextual therapy. Again, all is dependent on the couple's/ client's needs.
