When therapists refer to assessment, they need a chance to enter your world and spend some time understanding how you interact with each other and where the pain points are. Assessment for a couples therapist is two-pronged. It involves the therapist identifying each of your respective personalities, needs, and what triggers you. It involves understanding how these layers impact you as a couple when you come together. A therapist is a neutral party. So it’s also important for them to evaluate the dynamics created as each of you works to have your needs met in the relationship. The therapist uses assessment to get a sense of unhelpful behaviors.

Gottman Method with Elaine Korngold
I completed post-graduate training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy: Levels 1, 2, and 3, “Treating Affairs and Trauma”, and “Couples and Addiction Recovery”. My experience and other trainings are described here. Please text or email to schedule a 20-minute phone consultation — both partners need to be available for the consultation.
