Eclectic Therapy in Chicago

What is an Eclectic Style of Therapy?

An eclectic approach is often needed for many relationships and couples, as each partnership is unique and presents its own set of challenges. From this approach, Sara will utilize the necessary tools from various therapy orientations to help clients meet their specific goals. This allows for flexibility and personalization in therapy, explicitly catering to the needs of each couple. Clients may find it useful to learn a few essential skills and gain valuable knowledge from multiple couples counseling approaches such as: The Gottman Method, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Couples Therapy. Understanding client issues from the lens of multiple therapeutic modalities enrichens the counseling experience. Thus, ultimately leading to more fulfilling and lasting relationships.

Within all therapeutic modalities, clients can learn effective skills to help navigate their relationship. For example, this can include learning communication tools, participating in activities to strengthen the relationship connection or bond, or help with managing conflict. Additionally, clients can learn how to cope and better adjust to each other’s individual personality differences and perspectives. The goal in relationship therapy is to improve the relationship dynamic and break the cycle of the unhelpful relationship patterns you are currently experiencing with your partner.

Steps of Couples Therapy

Step 1

First, contact me to schedule an initial 15-minute consultation! In our meeting, I can answer any questions you may have for me about the therapy process. Or, if you’re ready to get started without a consultation, I can send over the paperwork right away, which answers all of my questions I have for you!

Step 2

Over the course of three sessions, I will conduct relational and individual history assessments to gain a better understanding of you both individually and your relationship dynamics. This includes each of you participating in one individual session each. Additionally, I will create a customized treatment plan for your relationship that includes your own goals for your relationship, and how we will work to achieve those goals!

Step 3

During our weekly couples therapy sessions, we will all collaborate to work towards your goals for your relationship. This includes processing current events as they happen in the relationship and learning new skills to reach your goals as a couple!
