Partners and couples
Partner sessions, for the people at home
For the spouse, partner or family member of someone who works in emergency services or has served.
A job that asks for steadiness at work can leave less of it at home. Partner sessions give the people who share that home a place to talk about it, with the first responder or veteran in the room or without. Sessions are 80 minutes, so that two people each have time to speak.
What it asks of you
On your own, together, or both
Eighty minutes, so both of you have time to speak
Talking about the job's effect on home, not about whose fault anything is

Sessions
What sessions look like
- 01
Step 1: Starting
We begin with what each of you would like to be different, in your own words.
- 02
Step 2: Listening
Each person speaks without interruption, and your clinician helps the other to listen.
- 03
Step 3: Trying something
Your clinician suggests one small thing to try at home between sessions.
- 04
Step 4: Looking back
We check what worked, what did not, and what to change.
What to know before you begin
What this is not
It is not a place to decide who is right. A partner may come alone, and no one is required to attend. Couples sessions happen only when both partners want them.
Length and pace
Your clinician sets the pace with you. We do not promise a number of sessions, and either of you can stop at any time.
How it is paid
These sessions are billed like any other visit. How fees work explains insurance, receipts and the written estimate.

Questions
Three questions about this
Does the first responder or veteran have to come?
No. Partners are welcome on their own, and many start that way.
Will you tell my partner what I said?
Not unless you ask us to. In a session with both of you, we explain at the start what will and will not be shared.
Do you see families, or children?
Moor works with adults. If you need help for a child or teen, we will help you find a clinician who sees them.
