Harnessing the healing power of emotional connection
“I've referred many couples to Relationship Counseling of Ohio. They are highly experienced psychologists who specialize in delivering Emotion-Focused Couple Therapy. Their treatment is short-term and intensive, which may save time and money in the long run. ”
— Nathan D. Tomcik, Ph.D., ABPP
How it Works
STEP 1: Review the information on the website and share it with your partner.
STEP 2: Schedule a complimentary 20-minute virtual consultation with Dr. Srsic.
She will listen to your goals and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the process. Email drcolbysrsic@rcohio.com and give her a few windows of time where you and your partner can be in front of the same computer screen. Also let her know a good email address for you so she can set up a google meet.
STEP 3: Schedule your Intensive
At the end of the consultation, if you want to move forward, we can schedule the intensive if you have your calendars with you. We schedule these appointments very close in time to each other to maintain the intensity and momentum we build together.
Typical Intensive Schedule*
Joint Assessment Appointment (1 hour together) We explore the history of your relationship, stressors and sources of conflict.
Individual Assessment Appointment (1 hour with each of you) You’ll meet individually to share about the family you grew up in.
Couples Counseling Day 1
2.5 Hour AM Appointment
Break for Lunch
2 Hour Afternoon Appointment
Couples Counseling Day 2
2.5 Hour AM Appointment
Break for Lunch
2 Hour Afternoon Appointment
*This is just an example; scheduling can be customized based on your needs. All of the work is done in person; however, in specific situations, telehealth may be utilized for our initial assessment appointments.
STEP 4: Paperwork
Once we have scheduled, you will receive an email confirming the dates for our meetings and information about paperwork that facilitates the process.
STEP 5: Moving Forward
Toward the end of our work together, we will discuss what you want to do after the intensive. You might feel like you've gotten what you need, or you might decide you would like to continue the progress you have made with ongoing couples counseling. If that is the case, we will refer you to a colleague who practices traditional couples counseling. Dr. Srsic will collaborate with your new couples therapist to ensure a smooth transition and that all relevant information/insights are thoughtfully passed on.
STEP 6: Follow Up
You will receive a summary report for you to keep. It describes the cycle in which you get stuck and gives you specific, concrete ways to strengthen your relationship and get unstuck.
