Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For Couples, there will be four intake session. They will take the Core Values Index and relationship assessment before their first appointment. The first session is together after which they will take the Gottman assessment. The next two sessions are individual ones for each and the last is again together. At that time they will already have worked on some areas and have a plan to move forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Sabrina is a Gottman Certified Therapist and I hold a Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from George Fox University and a Bachelors of Science in Music from Linfield College. Major coursework includes human growth and development, family and couples counseling, multicultural counseling, drug and alcohol counseling, spirituality, Gottman Couples Therapy, and the Core Values Index.
