Short-term counseling for long-term connections
Relationship Counseling of Ohio provides “intensives” - accelerated, personalized short-term couples counseling that is typically completed in two and a half days. Intensives facilitate better connection, communication, healing and hope. We use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), a model that has proven to be 90% effective compared to a 35% success rate with the next leading couples therapy model.
Who We Are
Dr. Colby Srsic provides couples intensives and Dr. Allison Fagan provides group couples workshops and supervision to other therapists. They are among a select few psychologists in Ohio who have earned the credential of Certification by the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). They are doctoral level psychologists with specific expertise in Emotionally Focused Therapy, a research-validated approach to helping couples.
For more information on the model they use, visit www.ICEEFT.com or read this article published by Psychology Today. This link provides information on what to look for in an Emotionally Focused Therapist.
"Allison & Colby are two of my most respected colleagues. I trust their years of experience, insight and ability to deeply understand what is at the root of a couple's challenges or crisis. I tell my clients "You will be in good hands!" As an outcome, the written summary will help anchor you in this awareness and wisdom and can be used as a resource in your journey beyond the intensive."

All sessions are primarily in person as this is how the model works best. However, the need for telehealth services for the assessment portion of the work can be discussed in the initial consultation.
Intensives happen at Dr. Srsic’s office located in the heart of beautiful, historic Old Worthington. The office is walkable to many restaurants, coffee shops, walking trails, and cute mom and pop shops.

“Ninety percent (90%) of couples who go through EFT significantly improve their relationship. 70-75% no longer fit the criteria for relationship distress following treatment. Compare that to a 35% success rate for the next leading couples therapy.”
