About Relationship Resources

HELPING RELATIONSHIPS THRIVE THRU THE SCIENCE OF COMMUNICATION

Many therapists do marriage counseling, but very few are trained in it and even fewer exclusively see couples in their practice. Throughout three decades Relationship Resources has provided research driven, specialized care for couples.

The counseling methods used by Dr. Rein are based on training with Dr. John Gottman, the top marriage counselor and researcher in the country. Dr. Rein has shared these methods with thousands of couples and taught to many other couples therapists.

Counseling Approach

Relationship Resources’ counseling approach is based on the science of communication. Dr. Rein works with you to identify repetitive patterns and detect intricate subtleties that create communication setbacks and unresolved problems in marriages and relationships.

Dr. Rein’s method is what differentiates him from other therapists and has been very successful in improving and saving troubled relationships.

  • Successful Communication Techniques

    From the start, couples receive Dr. Rein’s most recent book that summarizes research on how successful couples communicate.

  • Feedback and Guidance

    Following Dr. Rein’s feedback and guidance during sessions, you’ll learn how to communicate effectively.

  • Restore and Rebuild

    Instead of conversations that escalate or end in anger and frustration, your new communications skills will help you to restore friendship and rebuild your emotional connection.

The Model for Understanding Relationships

The Relationship Pyramid is a model for understanding relationships. The foundation of the pyramid and of any relationship is about needs.

The needs in a relationship are emotional intimacy and self-esteem. Couples need to feel emotionally close to their partners and to feel good about themselves in their relationships. From those needs stem patterns, perceptions, affect, and ultimately the language used towards your spouse or partner.

Dr. Rein utilizes the pyramid and focuses on positives and the future. He believes that if couples communicate with each other by applying the skills taught throughout their counseling sessions, they have the potential to not only survive but to thrive as a couple.
