Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT) is one of the few therapeutic modalities that is well supported by scientific research. Dr. Duffing has received advanced training in the delivery of this treatment and has witnessed it transform relationships for the better. She also integrates techniques from Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. For couples whose primary concerns surround PTSD, Dr. Duffing also offers Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (CBCT).

Couples therapy typically begins with a comprehensive assessment and feedback session, usually conducted over three to four sessions. This process helps Dr. Duffing become familiar with the relationship patterns and emotional sensitivities in order to offer her perspective and treatment strategy recommendations. Although this is Dr. Duffing’s most common approach with couples, if you are in need of brief consultation services this is available as well.
