Clients are seen morning, afternoon & evening, by appointment only. Services are very private and confidential, and entail either self-pay or insurance. Clients have the option of remaining anonymous.
The Catholic/Christian Marriage Clinic is based on bringing the wonderful healing resources of deep faith and the practice of the 7 basic virtues into the couple’s ways of relating with each other. It combines expert principles of Dialog and Schema Therapy with the couple’s own faith. Friends and enemies, lovers and roommates…all have the opportunity to tap into the healing power of the same Jesus who cured the paralytic who picked up his mat and was converted to the Lord along with all those around. Each virtue, namely Faith, Hope & Love; Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance…have a practical applied aspect. Being clients at the Clinic, you can expect to be challenged to grow and deepen in these virtues. You will be given homework assignments which may include reading, writing and sharing. If you are to make progress, it is important that you set aside time to make your self-pay investment a wise one, doing all the prescribed homework and exercises in a timely fashion. I believe that you are motivated and ready if you have read this far. I thank you for the privilege of your confidence and trust. You can rest assured that whatever I come to learn about you and your difficulties, even your weaknesses, I will never think less of you in any way or be judgmental. On the contrary, I only respect you more for taking the courageous steps you are doing in opening up to a stranger. Rest assured, I will do everything I can to try and make this a “safe place” for you. There may be times we disagree, and that is perfectly fine, it will never weaken the unconditional acceptance you will receive from me. I hope that I can be a bridge for you in reaching your partner in the ways you need the most, and helping you obtain the fulfillment in your marriage that you are looking for.
There are three basic requirements for a couple to become clients:
- Openness. The couple’s commitment to getting everything out on the table.
- Genuine effort to complete all the therapy assignments on a regular and ongoing basis.
- 30 minutes a day of daily positive “need talk” time with your partner, unless I specifically exempt you for the time being. This is face to face, no TV and no radio, no interference from children or work; time totally focused on each other and the relationship. I will teach you how. I recommend five minutes minimum of this time be spent praying together, even if in silence.
Are you ready? Then let’s get set and go. |
