Couples and marriage
Couples and marriage counseling
For couples who want a counselor who will not take a side and will not rush the pace.
A couples session is 80 minutes, arranged ahead of time. Hanan sees you together, and sometimes one at a time if you both agree. She listens for what each of you is asking for, and helps you say it in a way the other can hear.
What sessions look like
Both of you speak and both of you are heard
One short conversation each before you start together
Practice at home between sessions, only if you want it
Faith in the room as much or as little as you both choose
Good to know
What this is, and what it is not
A shared project
Hanan works for the marriage you two describe, not the one she would choose for you.
What this is not
Not a ruling on who is right, and not a religious judgment. Hanan does not decide whether a marriage should continue.
Length and pace
Most couples meet weekly or every other week. Hanan sets the pace with you and does not promise a number of sessions.
