The CCFAM Couples Therapy Process

Our goal is to create a responsive, personalized plan that supports growth in trust, communication, and conflict resolution—strengthening your relationship from the inside out.

In addition to couples therapy sessions, your treatment plan may also include individual counseling, tailored to your unique needs and relationship dynamics.

Session 1: Intake

This initial meeting is to discuss you and your partner’s background, current concerns, and specific needs. Together, we will explore how these challenges may be affecting daily life in your relationship and begin identifying areas of focus.

Sessions 2&3: Goal Setting

This session is a time to collaborate on a counseling plan and explore available resources.

Ongoing sessions: Continuing the Journey Together

Together, we’ll collaborate to determine the most supportive approach based on the unique needs of your relationship.

Length of Couples Counseling

While every relationship is unique, change in counseling typically begins to emerge within 10-14 sessions. To help your relationship reach meaningful change within 10–14 sessions, we recommend starting with weekly appointments. Some couples may respond more quickly, while others may benefit from a longer course of therapy depending on factors such as frequency of appointments, their individual temperaments, ongoing stressors, and implementation steps towards progress.

Before the first appointment, you will each complete a checklist to help identify key concerns. This tool is used throughout the counseling process to track progress and guide treatment goals.

The CCFAM Couples Counseling Difference

We have couples counselors who are trained in:

SYMBIS ™ (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts)

SYMBIS and Prepare Enrich are research-backed assessments that highlight each partner’s strengths, potential challenges, and relationship dynamics. The assessments provide insight into personality, communication styles, financial mindsets, and conflict resolution, equipping couples with a roadmap for a healthy marriage.

Our owner is a Prepare Enrich Seminar Director and created CCFAM Training, which is a continuing education provider. Through CCFAM Training, we can certify our counselors as Prepare Enrich Facilitators for couples counseling. This allows our counselors to access valuable training at no cost, ensuring the best possible support for the couples we serve.

Gottman Method

What if I don’t know if I want to stay with my partner?

Some couples come to counseling unsure if they want to stay together. At CCFAM, counseling offers a space to reflect, make informed decisions about the relationship, and take meaningful next steps. It’s a place to acknowledge hurt, find understanding, address unmet needs, take responsibility, extend forgiveness, and rebuild honesty. Through this process, many couples find the possibility of a deeper, more connected relationship than ever before.

Conflict Resolution

Most conflict in relationships stems from real or perceived imbalance: one partner believes they are contributing more effort, care, or resources than the other. It can also often start with unmet needs and undetermined or undeclared hurt or resentment. Here at CCFAM, we can help you find the root causes of your conflict and provide a space to navigate reconciliation. Patterns learned in previous relationships can become your default setting, bringing destructive patterns into your relationship and continuing the cycle. It can be difficult to recognize and reverse the pattern. Couples counseling at CCFAM can help identify communication styles and triggers, understand how they affect your relationship, and develop healthier ways to manage conflict.

Finances

Finances may be a constant source of disagreement in your relationship. Differences in spending habits, attitudes toward debt, and financial goals can impact your relationship. Transitioning from single to married is hard on its own, but facing major expenses—like children, homes, cars, and education—or broader future plans can cause conflict between you and your partner as you determine when to spend and when to save. Couples counseling at CCFAM can help you uncover the reasons behind the financial conflict, explore expectations, learn how to identify emotions behind spending habits, recognize where communication is lacking, identify priorities in spending habits, budget wisely as a couple, and find unity in financial decision making.

Infidelity

Infidelity cuts deeply into trust and loyalty. You may be overwhelmed by shame, judgment, thinking you chose the wrong partner, and fear of the future. Couples counseling at CCFAM offers a space to work through emotional challenges, recognize critical turning points, strengthen the foundations of your relationship, build healthy boundaries, and foster mutual forgiveness. Together, we’ll help you move beyond resentment and rediscover connection.

Connection

Expectations, conflict, and lack of investment in your relationship can create a barrier to connection with your partner. Unmet needs and unspoken expectations can turn into frustration. Expectations about intimacy—whether it is too little, too much, or too focused on your partner—all have an impact on your relationship. Couples counseling at CCFAM can help both of you communicate openly and honestly about the connection you desire for your relationship. By exploring both positive and harmful patterns, you can cultivate a deeper connection and greater fulfillment together.

Parenting

Parenting brings life joy, added responsibility, and decision making. Children can become the focus of your relationship, where once you focused on each other. You and your partner likely have ideas and experiences from your own childhood leading to differing points of view about how to raise your children. Whether you are disagreeing over discipline or are unsure of how to help your child with their struggles, what may have initially been simple disagreements may now feel insurmountable. Couples counseling at CCFAM can provide the opportunity to express expectations, disappointments, and desires for both your relationship and for your child. Understanding the root sources of frustrations, clarifying shared goals, and maintaining a future-focused perspective, we help you navigate parenting through every stage of your child’s life and find unity as a family moving forward.

Addiction

Addiction erodes trust and damages relationships. You may feel defeated, insignificant, disappointed, manipulated, judged, ashamed, and powerless–like a failure caught in a cycle you can’t break. Couples counseling at CCFAM can guide you through processing emotions, recognizing key decision points, and building safeguards to restore and protect your relationship. We also offer additional resources for overcoming addiction, along with truth-centered steps toward lasting recovery.
