You probably have practical concerns about coaching logistics, confidentiality, and expected outcomes. Below are answers that clarify common questions you’ll have.
How is couples coaching different from couples therapy?
Coaching is future- and action-focused, intended for partners who are motivated to change patterns and implement strategies. Therapy often addresses deeper mental health issues, trauma, or severe pathology. If clinical treatment is needed, Dr. Buckley will help you get appropriate referrals.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. Coaching sessions are confidential within professional and legal limits. You’ll discuss confidentiality specifics in the intake so you know how notes and information are handled.
Can one partner do coaching alone?
Yes. Individual coaching is available when one partner is willing to make changes or when a partner needs help deciding whether to participate. However, for systemic relationship change, couples sessions are most efficient.
Do you accept insurance?
Coaching is generally paid privately and is distinct from therapy billing. If you need documentation for flexible spending accounts or health savings accounts, Dr. Buckley can provide appropriate invoices to submit.
How soon will we see results?
Many couples notice improved communication and reduced reactivity after a few sessions. Sustainable habit change typically unfolds over several weeks to months. The coaching plan sets realistic, measurable goals and regularly reviews progress.
What if one partner is skeptical?
The coaching process begins with assessment and low-risk experiments. You’ll be guided to try small, evidence-based practices that allow the skeptical partner to see tangible benefits before fully committing.
