Couples Counseling Questionnaire
Choosing Dr. Warsaw for couples counseling, you are taking a very important step toward building a more fulfilling and satisfying relationship. Although traditionally it has been referred to as marriage counseling, the same principles that help improve marriages can be effective for any couple in a committed relationship. Couples counseling requires a commitment from both parties as well as a commitment from the therapist to help both parties.
In couples counseling, your relationship is our main focus. The purpose of counseling is not to find fault or place blame but to help both members of the couple become aware of how their thoughts and actions can negatively affect the relationship. It is through this awareness that each member can begin to replace negative behaviors with ones that strengthen and nurture the relationship.
For success in couples counseling it is crucial that both members have 1) goals for the relationship and 2) the desire and willingness to make changes to achieve those goals. To help us help you, individually, answer the following and bring the completed forms to your first session with Dr. Warsaw.
