Your first session is completely free. We'll explore your relationship history, understand what brings you in, and see if this approach is right for you.
Together we'll clarify what each partner wants to change and build a treatment plan focused on personal growth and responsibility.
Through 5-10 sessions, you'll develop the tools to communicate openly, manage conflict, and build genuine intimacy that lasts.
"Lasting relationship improvement comes from confronting oneself, building self-respect, and learning to communicate openly and kindly."-- James Christensen, LMFT
This isn't about learning scripts or quick fixes. Crucible therapy focuses on who you are, not just what you do.
Rather than teaching generic communication formulas, therapy helps you develop the internal strength to show up differently in your relationship.
You can't change your partner. Crucible therapy empowers you to focus on what you can control -- your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Clients learn to act differently rather than endlessly discussing feelings. The emphasis is on personal power and responsibility.
James is direct and blunt. Sessions focus on seeing your blind spots, earning self-respect, and not letting feelings dictate behavior.
