Relationship Counseling for Couples
Couples Therapy
Couples psychotherapy sessions with Tammy Nelson can be conducted in person or by phone and can be 60 or 90 minutes long. For more intense work, 3 or 4 hour sessions are available, particularly for those couples who have to travel to attend.
The sessions are for couples of any orientation or commitment level with a desire to increase their levels of connection and improve communication. Most couples want more depth and passion in their relationship, and some couples want to focus on specific conflicts or stressors.
Using Imago Relationship Therapy and sexuality counseling, the sessions can focus on many things. The general construction of time is based on learning new ways to resolve conflict, increase connection, and achieve true intimacy.

Intensives
Intensives are private psychotherapy sessions for couples who are traveling from out of town and cannot make it to weekly sessions, or want a more in-depth experience. Like a couples workshop, we explore intensive ways to increase the connection and intimacy in your relationship, resolve conflict, and work through shame, guilt and anger in your partnership.
Working privately with a therapist for four to six hours, couples get the same benefit from the day of therapy that they would from a whole weekend of a couple workshop, sometimes created dramatic and long lasting shifts in their relationship.
Special issues and conflicts can be focused on in an Intensive such as
Improved Communication
Conflict Repair
Affair Recovery
Substance Abuse
Sexual Dysfunction
ReSexualizing relationships
Grief Work
Pre-Marital Vision Quest
Second Marriage Preparation
Step Parent Coaching
