William Hemphill, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor | Claimed

In couples therapy, I begin by having an initial session with both parties. My goal is to get to know you and talk about the challenges in your relationship. Next, I schedule individual sessions with each partner. I do this to learn about your background, family history, and other aspects. The goal is to understand what’s influenced your views of a healthy relationship. Additionally, I have an assessment that you’ll both take. The assessment will inform me further about your relationship. Afterward, we review the strengths and challenges in your relationship. We’ll begin to focus on areas of need. This looks different in every relationship. I also focus on you and your spouse understanding your reactive cycle, and how it can sabotage communication. The goal is to begin to foster an emotionally healthy environment for better communication and partnership.
