Why did the questionnaire stop?

Thank you for your interest in the Hope-focused Couple Lab at Regent University.

Our clinic may not be a match for your personal needs as a couple

There are some kinds of couple situations or issues that our team is not trained to assist and our approach to couple therapy don't address well. 

What we are not trained to do

As a Couple lab we are not trained to provide couple counseling to couples with recent infidelity.  That is a special situation that requires specific action steps and individual sessions to help couples through the first months and year after an infidelity has taken place or been discovered.  

​

We also are not trained to provide couple counseling to couples who are not living together, engaged or married.  That is also a special situation that will require some individual sessions along with couples and we do not have that training.

​

We also can only provide couple counseling to couples where at least one partner is within Virginia.  Licensing laws do not allow us to provide couple counseling outside of Virginia.  

​

We only want to provide excellent care to couples who can benefit from what we have to offer in our specialty clinic.

​

If you believe you have received this message incorrectly, please email us at hopecouples@hopecouples.com and we will discuss your specific needs as a couple and whether we have the training to assist you.

If Individual counseling might be helpful for your situation please visit the PSC website at https://www.pscvb.com/ or call our front desk at the Psychological Services Center at 757-352-4488 and request an intake for individual counseling to address relationship issues.    These situations often improve best from some individual counseling first.

If you would like couple counseling from a center that is likely to be able to address these issues please contact:

Outside of Virginia, for a national network of couple therapists try:

Gottman trained Counselors referral network: https://www.gottman.com/couples/find-a-therapist/

Emotion Focused Counselors referral network: https://members.iceeft.com/member-search.php

​

Please note, we recommend against going to national companies that provide online counseling due to the serious concerns about privacy and quality of caregivers at these sites.  We recommend local providers as the best option for care. 

We encourage you to not give up, keep going towards your goals

Thank you
