RADICALLY DIFFERENT THERAPY · MISSOURI
Couples counseling for Mount Vernon, MO.
You have tried talking about it. You want the work to go somewhere.
Maybe you have read the advice, tried the exercises, or sat through therapy before. You can explain the problem and still find yourselves back in it. If you are considering another attempt, it is reasonable to want a clear sense of what happens in the room.

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?
What was missing from the help you tried?
You may have left earlier conversations with useful insight and no idea what to do when your partner shut down that night. Or you may have felt that the two of you spent the whole session describing a fight you already understood.
Tell me what was useful and what was not. That history can help us be specific about what you are hoping for now and what would make another attempt feel worthwhile.
No fluff, no BS therapy for relationships that need radical help.

THE WORK IN THE ROOM
Insight becomes something we practice together.
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy and work actively with what happens between you. When a familiar reaction appears, I help slow it down and ask what each of you is experiencing. We use the interaction in front of us.
I may help you put a difficult need into words and then stay with your partner’s response. That gives us a chance to see where the exchange gets stuck and to work on it with support, rather than leaving the whole task for later.
We can also discuss how the work is landing. I want to hear if something feels unclear or unhelpful. A different approach is not a guarantee, and it is appropriate to keep asking what you are learning and whether it is making a difference.
You are allowed to ask what we are doing and why.

BEFORE YOU SCHEDULE
Questions about getting started.
Where do we meet if we live in Mount Vernon, MO?
Your appointment is at my office in Webb City, Missouri, near Joplin: 2830 Mt. Hope Rd., Webb City, MO 64870. Both partners attend in person at this location.
Can we tell you what we disliked about previous therapy?
Yes. It helps to know what you experienced, what was missing, and what you want to understand about working with me. You do not need to protect me from that feedback.
Are 100–110-minute appointments an intensive?
They are the regular session format for this practice. This page describes an individual couples appointment, not a multi-day program or a promise of accelerated results.
How will we know whether the work is helping?
We can discuss what you want to change and revisit what you are noticing in your conversations and connection. Tell me about changes, setbacks, and concerns so they can become part of the work.
FOR COUPLES IN MOUNT VERNON, MO
Bring your questions about therapy, too.
You do not have to arrive convinced. We can talk about what you have tried, what you need help with, and what participation in this work would involve.
