Marriage Advice and Relationship CounselingI'd Like to make an Appointment with Dr. Cohn
Marriage Advice and Relationship Counseling Tip:
"Since time and money are precious, you should be prepared to make 'working on your relationship' your top priority."
You Deserve A Thorough and Comprehensive Analysis of your RelationshipAt the beginning of your first session, Dr. Cohn will tell you all about his approach and answer all of your questions. He will also talk with you about what you expect (and deserve) from the time that you invest in marriage or relationship counseling.Dr. Cohn wants you to feel safe and comfortable in his office. During every session you will be offered a warm cup of tea (he has a wonderful selection of teas) or a cool glass of water. Dr. Steven Cohn's approach to marriage and relationship counseling is thorough, comprehensive, and rigorous. Time and money are precious, so Dr. Cohn's marriage advice is that you be prepared to make "working on your relationship" your top priority. Most therapists attempt to complete a relationship counseling session within 50 minutes (the therapy "hour"). Dr. Cohn doesn't work like most therapists. The research indicates that 50 minute sessions are not effective when working with couples. Relapse rates go up, and couples don't get their needs met. All of Dr. Steven M. Cohn's sessions are 90 minutes long so that you will derive the greatest benefit from your time spent in therapy. Many "couples therapists" attempt to both diagnosis a couple and offer both marriage advice and relationship counseling homework by the end of the first session. Although this might initially feel like progress to the couple, in Dr. Cohn's opinion its the same kind of progress that comes from putting the cart before the horse. Rather than a 50 minute analysis, Dr. Cohn's intake takes four sessions to complete for a total of a 6 hours.
"Steven Cohn . . . psychotherapist and MBA is no slouch . . . keep in mind, this is a man who is equally comfortable creating computer models for financing a $100 billion hospital in low Earth orbit . . . and living with indigenous peoples of Borneo to study the psychological impact of deforestation."
Ruth Mullen, Staff Writer During your first two 90 minute sessions, Dr. Cohn will meet with you as a couple. He will begin examining your relationship beginning with the first day that you met. Every stone will be uncovered in the search for issues inside of your marriage or relationship. During your third and fourth 90 minute sessions, Dr. Cohn will meet with each of you alone. During your individual session, you will have the chance to speak freely, without concern for how your mate will feel or react. This is also the time when Dr. Cohn will learn more about the family that you grew up in (your family of origin). Family of origin is very important in assessing many relationship challenges: differing expectations, power and control conflicts, opposing conflict styles, disagreements about family traditions, role confusion, and incompatible parenting styles, to name but a very few.
