In our first session, we will focus on building strong, believable characters and understanding the foundations of story form.

Students will participate in dialogue exercises and scene work designed to strengthen their voice as writers.

Week Three: Script Structure
During Week Three, we will break down screenplay structure and story architecture.

We will also analyze examples from successful scripts to understand what makes a screenplay effective and emotionally impactful.

Week Four: Bring It All Together
In our final week, students will combine everything learned throughout the course into a cohesive script foundation. We will focus on revisions, refining scenes, strengthening character consistency, and preparing scripts for continued development. This session will also include feedback, collaboration, and encouragement for the next steps in each writer’s creative journey.
Roles in the relationship
Sometimes the roles in the relationship can be unequally distributed, or even realized in the first place, leading to built-up tension and unhappiness.
In couple counseling, we work to understand how and why both parties view the different roles, and how it affects the relationship overall.

What is it good for?
Beliefs and values
Oftentimes, the beliefs and values people have stem from their childhood and past experiences, and when they don't align within the relationship, miscommunication can happen.
Together with a therapist, couples can work towards gaining a clear perspective into each others' beliefs and values.
