My analytical approach takes you beyond reflecting and communication strategies. Your interaction with your partner will be examined from a \u201cpower frame\u201d and strategies will be tailor-made to establish a new way of interacting that meets both spouses\u2019 needs. Incrementally you will build on each success until your relationship reflects your current goals.<\/p>\n
The following outlines my process.<\/p>\n
Session one:<\/strong> informed consent, general assessment and goal setting In the beginning clients can expect to meet three times within the first two weeks. As clients show progress the sessions are scheduled further apart. When the goals established in the first session are met the process is complete. There is an additional session booked three months later to address relapse and affirm the behaviours that are working. Please note that fees for packaged services are due at the onset of the services. Fees for a la carte services are due following each session. You will be given a receipt for the services at the time of payment. Jeannine charges $320.00 per hour for mediation services and report writing.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Where are you located?” icon_color=”#92d0cb” open_icon_color=”#92d0cb” admin_label=”Where are you located?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ title_font=”||||||||” title_line_height=”1.6em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”advanced,css” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Resolvology office is located in Keynote Tower Two at 225 11th Avenue SE, Suite 201, Calgary.<\/p>\n Click here for directions.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How do I make an appointment?” icon_color=”#92d0cb” open_icon_color=”#92d0cb” admin_label=”Toggle” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_font=”||||||||” title_line_height=”1.6em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”advanced,css” global_colors_info=”{}”]Appointments are made by calling our office at 403-266-2017 or by calling Jeannine directly at 403-869-5080.

Jeannine establishes outcomes for couple\u2019s therapy in the first session to help people clarify their expectations. It\u2019s at this point that a couple can determine if therapy is for them. Jeannine refers to these goals throughout the process to help keep couples focused. This is how we \u201ckeep it real\u201d as they say.<\/p>\n Therapy is most successful when clients and therapists work together. At the conclusion of most sessions I ask \u201cwhat did we do that was useful?\u201d and \u201cwhat did we do that was not helpful?\u201d It is through these conversations we continue to tailor the work to your specific needs.

Parenting coordination is provided by an experienced professional in the area of family in law including Psychologists, Lawyers, Mediators and other mental health professionals. A family may have parenting coordination ordered by a court or they may voluntarily hire a PC to help them resolve day to day issues that cause conflict for the couple. Issues such as pick up and drop off dynamics, communication regarding the child, discipline issues, extra-curricular or educational activities. Parenting Coordinators can act as mediators or arbitrators or both depending on the agreement with the parents.<\/p>\n For more information go to the Alberta Family Mediation Society website at https:\/\/afms.ca\/<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What are common symptoms that a child is feeling stress or trauma?” admin_label=”What are common symptoms that a child is feeling stress or trauma?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”8bf99c68-df25-4637-a988-d94ea89cb2ad” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”advanced,css” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Children who demonstrate a change in behaviour or mood can be in a state of stress and or feel a state of trauma. Like most people, common signs of distress are a change in behaviour such as sleeping more or less, eating more or less, withdrawing from activities and people they once enjoyed, feeling irritable, moving more slowly or more quickly than usual. With small children we see them regress in their developmental stage of life. For example, a child who has successfully toilet trained and is now wetting the bed is showing signs of regressing. It is watching and documenting these behaviours over time that tells us changes in patterns.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_toggle title=”What is the goal for parents who attend Therapy with a Psychologist?” admin_label=”What is the goal for parents who attend Therapy with a Psychologist?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”8bf99c68-df25-4637-a988-d94ea89cb2ad” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”advanced,css” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Parents can attend therapy with their former spouse to learn to communicate better. They can learn problem solving strategies and identify what certain issues tend to cause difficulty between them. A Psychologist trained in mediation can assist parents to broker agreements so that the issues are managed well.<\/p>\n Parents can attend therapy individually as well. There are often residual feelings and frustrations for spouses long after the couple has separated. Understanding each partner\u2019s contribution to the conflict and why the conflict has caused such disruption can help an individual parent to move on in their lives. Extreme dislike or hatred of the other parent is not considered a state of moving on and in fact can signal begin stuck in the old relationship. A psychologist can assist the individual parent to heal and to manage emotions that are overwhelming. A psychologist can also assist an individual parent to deal with the grief and loss of the marriage or relationship. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What do Children need from their parents while the separation is occurring?” admin_label=”What do Children need from their parents while the separation is occurring?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”8bf99c68-df25-4637-a988-d94ea89cb2ad” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”advanced,css” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Children need their parents to be managing their own emotions as best as possible. This doesn\u2019t mean they need to see their parents always happy or without emotion. It is ok for parents to show sadness if it is not consistent and accompanied by a lack of capacity to provide care for the child. Parents who maintain their role as parent, keep children accountable and provide nurturing are likely seen as safe places for their kids. It is very helpful for children to continue to have one on one time with each parent where possible. In the event a new partner is in the picture it is important children feel they have not lost the attention of their parent for the sake of other stepchildren or a new adult. Sharing appropriate information regarding the other parent or the parent themselves is important.

\nSession three:<\/strong> Education about conflict styles and identification of your primary conflict style. Assessment of how power is used in the relationship and the resulting communication difficulties.
\nSession four:<\/strong> Engage clients in deep conversation uncovering the deeper issues motivating the disharmony, continuing to work towards goals established in session one.

Understanding that there can be both growth and emotional impact is an important decision when deciding to engage in counselling.
