What is PSConnect?
PSConnect is counseling. It’s that simple. The main difference between this and traditional, hourly counseling is that this takes place over one, two, or three days – depending on what’s recommended for your situation. By extending your session, you cover a lot more ground and take advantage of uninterrupted, highly focused work. Current research backs this approach as an effective way to bring healthy change to relationships. Our brains learn best when we can remain on-task, without interruption, for longer periods of time.
We like to think of PSConnect as a counseling accelerator — counseling that produces faster results and more robust relationship change. What might take 6-8 months to achieve in weekly 60-minute sessions, can often be attained in a single weekend.
One of our clients described it as, “counseling on steroids,” and we think they may just be right.
Who Should Consider PSConnect?
PSConnect may be right for you if you relate to any of the following…
- You are exhausted trying to make your relationship work
- You find it difficult to attend weekly counseling due to work, family, or scheduling demands
- You require a higher level of discretion or privacy due to your community standing or public visibility
- You find yourself on the verge of divorce
- One or both of you views counseling as your “last ditch effort”
How Does It Work?
By learning about you and your situation (through homework and several in-person sessions) prior to your accelerated counseling experience, Debbie will put together a unique plan of counseling that may include development of emotional regulation, behavioral changes, relationship skills proficiency, and/or healing and recovery from current/past events. It’s specific to you and your situation, and working with a customized agenda means you’ll use your time together more effectively.
How Do We Get Started?
Call our office Monday through Friday and ask to learn more. We’ll answer your questions and get you scheduled for a free consultation with Debbie where you’ll have a chance to meet her, ask more specific questions, and hear her best recommendations for your situation. We don’t always recommend PSConnect (there are times when it is not the best fit for all couples), but if that is one of your options, she’ll let you know. And if it is not, we’ll tell you specifically what we recommend and will help you get connected to appropriate resources.

The Science Behind PSConnect
Understanding what makes PSConnect different from traditional counseling largely lies in the amount of time it takes to introduce three key cognitive/emotional processes into any counseling session: neuroplasticity, memory reconsolidation, and emotional regulation.
These processes are the neural software that control how we learn, how we create and maintain changes in our behavior, and how we interpret and manage both the covert and overt emotions that influence every aspect of our daily lives – especially our relationships. And it’s very hard to implement the therapeutic methods that address these processes in 60 or 90-minute sessions once a week. We simply need more unbroken time of focused activity.
