3-steps to a better relationship

Our Proven Relationship Counseling Process

Initial Assesment

Your initial consultation gives each partner time to share their story and discuss what matters most in their relationship journey. From there, your therapist builds a counseling plan that fits your unique situation and helps you work toward your goals.

Joint Sessions

During your sessions together, both partners learn to talk about difficult topics with guidance that helps you understand each other better. Your counselor supports both perspectives while teaching you ways to handle future challenges as a team.

Individual Sessions

The therapist conducts separate sessions with each partner to gather vital information about individual needs and concerns, which guides the development of targeted solutions.

Facebook Review

“I’m grateful for a place like Therapy Unlocked and people like Aimee. Last year I took steps to better understand myself and my lifelong struggles with focus, relationships, depression and anxiety. I spent time in some intensive group therapy, started working with a prescriber to get help with newly diagnosed ADHD and began the search for a therapist that I could see on a regular basis. Finding Aimee was like hitting the jackpot.” -Aaron Kirk
