Conjoint Therapy, sometimes called Co-therapy, can be defined as two or more therapists working collaboratively with the same couple. When we refer to Conjoint therapy, we are explicitly referring  to the following model:

​

​

Each person in the couple meets with Steve or Mary every two weeks.

 

 

​Each couple meets with BOTH Steve and Mary on alternative weeks.  

​ 

Some high conflict or acutely distressed couples will meet both individually and as a couple weekly. 

​ 

The division into therapeutic dyads is not necessarily gender specific but is based on a clinical assessment of a each client. ​

 

This is an intensive model, and therapy progress is assessed in four month intervals
