A message from Rebecca

I am passionate about working with couples from all walks of life, helping them to move towards healing and wholeness. My job is not only to help couples reduce conflict and tension but also to foster trust and safety to deepen their bond. Individuals need emotional safety to let their guard down and show their true selves. Only then do couples start to reconnect and rediscover all they have to offer each other. I have worked with couples to overcome long-standing resentments, rebuild their fondness and affection for one another, and find new meaning and purpose within their relationship. These breakthroughs occur within the supportive context of effective, science-based interventions.

Feedback from my couples

I feel like I have my wife back.

We had previously tried therapy to address communication and honesty about a relationship outside the marriage. However, the therapist was more focused on the now versus the core issues.

Research into the Gottman Method and the scientific involvement behind the relationship made us choose Couples Therapy Inc. We also had never prepared for a session utilizing skills like the BIG BIG Book © or the prep through The Seven Principles of Marriage workbook.

We honestly did not have any hesitation. Through a process of elimination, we felt confident in this organization.

Rebecca created an environment of comfort and safety from the minute we met her. Rebecca’s ability to communicate always felt like a contribution versus a direction. Her calm demeanor really allowed all of us to openly communicate and honestly work through the steps without being defensive or protective. She is like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes for the mind. She was able to pinpoint the source of our marital issues within the first 6 hours of the weekend. This is something no other therapist had been able to accomplish in our past. Rebecca also had a gentle approach to sensitive topics that left us wanting to openly talk about issues neither of us had identified previously. She is very knowledgable in the topics we covered and communicated things intellectually and with real connection for both of us. We both feel that Rebecca was the perfect match for our therapy needs. We could not be happier or more gratified with the entire experience and our time with Rebecca.

Rebecca was the perfect therapist for our personalities, histories and problems. Her ability to interact with us separately and as a couple was refreshing. Her experience and skillset made the weekend a real success. Combined with the Couples Therapy reviews and confidence in the approach, we were very pleased.

In the short time since we completed our initial weekend, communication changed instantly upon our first exposure to Rebecca. We have knocked down the walls that were straining our marriage. I feel like I have my wife back.

Advice to other couples… first and foremost, do the pre-work (BIG BIG Book, other assignments) based on your therapist recommendation. I was amazed how much we got out of the Big Big Book exercise. It helped me realize issues before we even started our weekend. If you are not willing to do the work before the meeting you are handicapping the success you will get out of the experience.

One of the most cathartic experiences of my life.

This weekend was so powerful, and I cannot thank you (Rebecca) enough. I feel much more equipped to deal with everything….what an eye opener. I can honestly say it was one of the most cathartic experiences of my life.

Recent Client Reports

We tried two other therapists prior to this and did not gain any ground. Rebecca was absolutely amazing.

We were arguing a lot without getting to resolutions. Our arguments had become very intense, with yelling and walking away.

We did not have much success with therapy before. We tried two other therapists prior to this and did not gain any ground. This weekend really helped us.

Our intention is to use the skills of checking in weekly, showing more appreciation and affection, going over exercises together, etc.

Rebecca was absolutely amazing. She was easy to talk to. She was a great listener and very intuitive as to our needs. She interjected with great questions that helped us go deeper.

I learned where my partner’s anger was coming from, which is not where I thought it stemmed. I feel more connected to them. I have hope for our future as being a healthier couple.

Advice to other couples…be sure to do all of the work requested prior to the weekend. The more you put into it, the more you will gain. It is worthwhile!!
