Individual Couples and Group Therapy

<> Individual Psychotherapy: Individual therapy is the cornerstone of Gillean therapy. It is the place to define your unique goals. It is the place for exploring your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings, in detail. It is the place where you will be introduced to a new and powerful understanding of fundamental realities. All this in an atmosphere of respect, tolerance, good humor, reasonableness, and warmth. Although the frequency and duration of therapy is up to you, we recommend weekly sessions for you to gain the most out of your therapy experience.
Couples Therapy: Unlike standard couples therapy, we don't encourage couples to rehash old fights and battle it out in the office. Instead, we help couples evaluate their relationship, develop creative solutions to ongoing problems, and bring out the reasonablesness in each other. While not all love partnerships can be salvaged, we are devoted to the notion that you are better off changing your process, not your partner. The vast majority of couples are simply unaware of many of the things they do to alienate each other - behaviors they are likely to bring to any partnership, once the honeymoon stage is over. We encourage couples to negotiate around specific conflicts of interest, and to do so in a friendly, collaborative way. So while you are solving particular issues, you are also building up a bank of successful experiences negotiating with each other - making it easier and easier to do it on your own.
Group Therapy: Group therapy is a unique laboratory for exploring interactions, getting feedback, trying new behaviors and working on intimacy problems. Gillean therapy groups are distinguished by their teamwork, innovation, vigor and candor.
