Direct Advice

In this marriage counseling modality, Dr. Lindsay is your consultant. He gives you direct advice about a relationship problem resembling:

  • a meddling in-law

  • a rebellious teenager

  • an ailing parent

  • a blended family that’s having trouble blending

  • a difficult decision that must be made

Many counselors shy away from giving direct advice. Dr. Lindsay’s marriage counseling helps you decide what to do so you can get it done and make life better.


Brief Intervention

Marriage counseling brings relationship joy  Dr. Lindsay becomes your interventionist in this marriage counseling modality; he jumps in and helps you eliminate an annoying glitch in your interaction. The glitch occurs periodically and is limited to just one area of your relationship.

  Usually, an interactional glitch occurs in an area where needs are lacking. One of you wants more than the other is currently giving in an area like:

  • sexual frequency

  • openness in communication

  • time spent together

  • help managing the children or doing chores

  • time socializing with other couples

The glitch goes like this: one partner asks the other to try harder to meet a certain need. The other partner agrees but then fails to follow through. It is frustrating.

 If left unattended, an interactional glitch can grow into a full-blown negative interaction pattern that can create chronic discord in the relationship.

Marriage counseling helps you avoid this! Dr. Lindsay’s brief intervention helps you nip your glitch in the bud so that your need is fulfilled and your harmonious relationship can continue.
