Individual or Couples Coaching Session

This 45-minute relationship tune-up session is a focused opportunity for an individual or couple to take a snapshot of their relationship’s current strengths and potential areas for growth. The goal is to provide actionable insights in a short amount of time, leaving the individual or couple with both perspective and tools to address any challenging dynamics.

Some Session Focus Points

1. Introduction and Purpose Setting 
  • Begin with a quick introduction and clarify the purpose of the session: a “relationship health check.” This sets the stage for open, non-judgmental communication.

2. Relationship Snapshot: Strengths and Struggles 
  • Identify a few aspects you feel are going well in their relationship. This might include teamwork, mutual respect, or shared values.
  • Share one or two specific areas you feel “stuck” in, focusing on describing the issue rather than assigning blame.

3. Pinpointing Patterns and Beliefs 
  • Explore underlying patterns that may be contributing to current struggles. Discuss any recurring themes, like communication gaps or assumptions you or both of you may hold about the other’s needs.
  • Identify one belief or assumption that might be contributing to the tension, fostering insight into your partner’s perspective.

4. Problem-Solving and Tools 
  • Select an area of struggle to focus on. We will brainstorm a few practical solutions you can start implementing immediately.
  • Therapist/coach to provide insight and intervention suggestions

5. Takeaway and Next Steps 
  • Summarize key insights from the session and agreed-upon action steps.
  • Suggestions for further support, whether it’s additional sessions, regular check-ins, books, or other resources.
  • This is the start of small, sustainable changes that can strengthen your connection over time.

Testimonials

Bryon blends a light-hearted personality with a carefully crafted thought process to each session. My wife and I always take something useful away from each session and are able to make applications as soon as we get home. He truly cares about helping us and it shows in the little details such as asking us to repeat things because he doesn't want to forget it, sharing resources and even sending us little cards checking in on us even after we stoppped attending. I would definitely recommend Bryon to anyone who is struggling in their relationship.

It takes a bit for me to trust people in the helping professions because they all seem to promise he same thing...an improved relationship, happiness, blah blah blah. But Bryon doesn't over-promise and under-deliver. He is a straight shooter that speaks to the importance of doing "intentional work," not hard work. He is compassionate and patient but also urged us to take steps on a daily or at least weekly basis to move the needle of closeness in our relationship. His warm and creative style made it easy and invititing to work with him. He made my husband feel supported from the moment he complimented his football jersey to reminding him that talking is not the only way to improve our relationship. We are deeply grateful for finding Bryon and having him move our relationship toward a place of deeper emotional, physical and sexual closeness!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between relationship coaching and therapy?
Relationship coaching typically is shorter in duration, focused on specific problems and interventions that can be employed immediately. Although therapy also addresses real-time problems it also emphasizes prior history and mental health issues such as trauma, depression or anxiety that may be significantly interfering with an individual or couple's well-being.
How does the Quick Tune-Up coaching process work?
Coaching involves a pre-screening assessment to ensure that your coach has the right experience for your particular issues. Then there is an assessment questionnaire to gain greater clarity of your background and goals.

Because the Quick Tune-Up sessions are one session appointments they are designed to give you instant support for your relationship and not intended to be prolonged conversations about your history.
What qualifications do you have?
I have been a licensed marital & family therapist (LMFT-#001109) for nearly 25 years.
What kind of issues can you help with?
I specialize in relationship issues such as communication, trust, intimacy, infidelity, parenting, blended family issues, money problems, addiction, etc.
How long does it take to see results?
Sometimes one session is all people need to get rebooted again. Other times you may need a series of sessions if there has been any serious problems like infidelity, addiction or domestic violence that has gotten in the way.
How much does relationship coaching cost?
When you consider the cost of coaching or therapy in relation to the cost of divorce which could be tens of thousands of dollars for some not including the terms of your divorce going forward it is often a small investment to preserve and protect your relational and financial well-being.

This quick tune-up session is a one-time $150 fee.

However, if you need more support than one session, you may want to consider one of the relationship coaching packages that range between 6 and 12 sessions in duration and have far greater support that the quick tune ups. Those include sessions, homework, handouts, emails, texting support, video and book recommendations and accountability.
Can sessions be done remotely or are they only in person?
Either. If you are in the central CT area you are welcome to come to in-person sessions. If you are around the country or world we will send you a Zoom link for your appointment.
What if my partner is resistant to coaching?
We do not want our progress to be based on our partner's willingness. Obviously it makes it easier if by parties are on the same page with receiving support. However, if your partner does not believe nor want relationship coaching you can go it alone and learn new skills, and use the information and resources to share with your partner in the privacy of your own spaces.
