The assessment phase involves 4 parts: Your relationship’s story: First, we explore the story of you. How did you meet? What has worked for you in the past? How did you get here? This takes place both in person and through an intensive online written assessment. At this time, I will observe your communication style, and delve into your relationship hopes and dreams. 2. and 3. Your individual stories: A relationship is only as happy and healthy as its balance with your needs. This part is about learning about each of you and your individual hopes and dreams. 4. Make a plan and begin: Finally, we decide the best pathway to your relationship happiness, and start down that path together, right away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1625592687864-CSXE59B64IF2EDLILTZO/unsplash-image-0hPZMehJQUg.jpg Gottman - The Therapy Phase. Once the assessment is complete, most couples return for weekly intervention sessions. The frequency and duration of therapy sessions can be adjusted depending on a couple’s availability and goals for therapy. Therapy sessions are structured, solution-focused, and skills-based. Couples are provided with resources and guided through positive exercises and difficult conversations designed to help them grow closer and feel understood. Many couples feel their connectedness increase during sessions and while doing exercises between appointments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1625592730091-LC3VGUEESQ840MV0Q1FF/unsplash-image-EdULZpOKsUE.jpg Gottman - The Graduation Phase. As couples get closer to meeting their goals and increasing connectedness, and intimacy, they often are able to decrease frequency even as they maintain their progress. Graduation comes when they are able to enjoy connectedness and intimacy in their everyday lives, returning for “refresher sessions” 1 to 4 times a year or when new issues arise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1619560224884-4N216N005L2WBB4JCAA3/unsplash-image-3uT3CM9lVoA.jpg Gottman - We Help You: Build Love Maps: Focus on your friendship, and how well you feel seen and known by each other. Share Fondness and Admiration: Identify and express feelings of appreciation and gratitude for each other’s qualities and gifts. Turn Towards: Tune in each day to each other’s bids for connection, large and small, deepening those feelings of closeness. The Positive Perspective: Give each other the benefit of the doubt when presented with a challenge. Manage Conflict: Communicate with respect and seek understanding when confronted with areas of disagreement. Make Life Dreams Come True: Honor and support each other’s hopes and dreams, which leads to individual fulfillment. Create Shared Meaning: Build and sustain traditions, roles, values and symbols together that make life meaningful. https://jrmft.com/couples daily 0.75 2026-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785811082874-1LG19ZPJVIXAU9YRO357/unsplash-image-IfGftNpTvAw.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/e38f54dd-c5a1-4afe-b0ca-7d3447fdb34b/Image+7-31-26+at+3.03%E2%80%AFPM.jpeg https://jrmft.com/home daily 1.0 2026-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/c414b56d-f06b-4918-b5db-ebfebaa3ff89/Screenshot+2025-07-04+at+6.52.03%E2%80%AFPM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1731001232472-YW5QXI4LX9QON4ISP7BA/unsplash-image-03tSOB03Xko.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1653603335330-HCG25N92W30TO0SU2DIQ/unsplash-image-z0nVqfrOqWA.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1780202746574-ZH7RZ84O3YS8YQ04ZLJ1/unsplash-image-mRQk1B4OM0k.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/4357e6e2-49b7-4bf5-a7b2-64bb3d016c8e/Screenshot+2025-07-04+at+6.33.22%E2%80%AFPM.png https://jrmft.com/faq-1 daily 0.75 2026-07-07 https://jrmft.com/emotionfocusedtherapy daily 0.75 2026-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785479681741-FV2Q0X3HG99DNAQ1X3MJ/unsplash-image-kJSq3WJ-AVU.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785480664913-062JWGQAR2FO83PXAEBH/unsplash-image-oMtXGNw4ZEs.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785478924872-XEQT34IXTC16FWHDKZHK/unsplash-image-ShzL1twPLPE.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785478591839-ZZQH7RIP3BWX3PED71YT/unsplash-image-BcXweAkHFQw.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/8d4cf95f-2874-4fd4-91cb-c962ba486901/IMG_4471.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/4da28fa5-b8f2-4dfb-94e5-4ef94815e038/IMG_4055.jpeg https://jrmft.com/couplesintensives daily 0.75 2026-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785810976948-45W0HL769JC6NH1D36EI/unsplash-image-iiizowST2ZM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1620079617153-EV6XN97SES2L7KEUZFF9/unsplash-image-dSIcpkddKrM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785810371244-JTTT7SMV654RAJML84KR/unsplash-image-4pULVcxYlfU.jpg https://jrmft.com/weekendintensives-1 daily 0.75 2026-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1620079566370-6SVDLO68Y62HUC6YM4X9/unsplash-image-IfGftNpTvAw.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1620079617153-EV6XN97SES2L7KEUZFF9/unsplash-image-dSIcpkddKrM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1780133276884-LAXZRPBKXZFTOFI9SDZG/unsplash-image-H99T1IYIMno.jpg https://jrmft.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-07-31 https://jrmft.com/sexualrelationshipconcerns daily 0.75 2026-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785808691340-6QZPH8XL077OAZWHDAVD/unsplash-image-CfihTqNJJRI.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785658424677-R26HUCGKD23KK2MDL3LS/unsplash-image-hI2hLLctv-c.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785658553832-NYH5D534J4OTQRLEUUAZ/unsplash-image-0cWXXPv2-y8.jpg https://jrmft.com/couplesintensives-1 daily 0.75 2026-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785810976948-45W0HL769JC6NH1D36EI/unsplash-image-iiizowST2ZM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1620079617153-EV6XN97SES2L7KEUZFF9/unsplash-image-dSIcpkddKrM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6033e2dfce269d296dd636de/1785810371244-JTTT7SMV654RAJML84KR/unsplash-image-4pULVcxYlfU.jpg
