3 pathways to change in Hope

01

Orientation to the Hope Approach and Self-Assessment Workbook

The Hope Approach to Couple Counseling and Enrichment was designed by Dr. Worthington and Dr. Ripley.  We answer the question- What is Hope?  Is it right for us?  And the Self-Assessment workbook helps you focus and create goals together as a couple.

02

Cooling Down & Confidence

If relationships have been caught in a negative cycle, then slowing down, cooling, and reflecting are often the next steps of Hope Approach.  Couple therapy is very limited until you feel you can confidently be yourself, share your needs, and respond to each other well.

03

Understand Needs & Patterns

Most couples improve by spending some time reflecting together on their relationship needs, and what patterns from past relationships they are caught in today.
