Instead of staring at a therapist staring back at you, you join up with a TEAM in a place where you belong, in a way where we all show up for practice together. Together we create your dream relationship. You work hard ... blood, sweat, and tears kind of hard sometimes. At the end of it you'll have the kind of love you may never have dreamed you could have. This isn't just therapy, it's co-therapy. A philosophy that empowers couples like you to discover the magic of "us." We're your team, and your needs come first. Sessions START at 85 mins. The RCC-System means you succeed, all outside the constraints and limitations of insurance.
The teams and their couples at RCC have healed the torment of infertility, miscarriage, depression, significant losses, deaths of friends and family, financial problems, extended family strife, and a spouse's disability with a caregiving spouse. Together, we bring our experience to yours. And couples and their team succeed at a much higher rate than average.
You know what you have with CoTherapy at Real Connections Counseling? Access to one of the most successful couples counseling & coaching methods we’ve seen. Imagine the impact of two experts preparing you for life outside of grief, pain, horrible fights, or loneliness. Don’t just weather storms. Conquer them. Chances of success? Far higher than the standard.
