The Y-Model

The Y-Model is our signature approach to couples therapy. We focus on relational conditions, behavioral patterns of interaction, and personal well-being. The Y-model uses research-based interventions guided by Self-Determination Theory. The goals are to utilize individual strengths to align common core values, heighten awareness of personal needs and intentional acts that increase intimacy and connection; remove barriers that hinder authentic communication and self-expression, while cultivating growth, mutual respect and understanding so couples thrive and co-create satisfying love experiences.
