Marriage-180 - John Eckenwiler
Roughly 35% of John's cases are with couples. If you are having relationship problems, you need a qualified marriage and family therapist who is trained to help you with a variety of issues. John is an Approved Supervisor with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
Be sure to consider the book he wrote, Shatterproof Your Marriage (April 2008, published by Health Communications, Inc.) He has developed a very focused program for couples that will enable you to see exactly where the problem(s) is and what you need to do to achieve the marriage you want.

Insurance companies have driven the way counseling is structured, restricting sessions to 45-50 minutes. While conventional marriage counseling sessions are always available to you, John Eckenwiler has designed a model that is much more innovative.
WHAT IS MARRIAGE-180?
Marriage-180 is simply an accelerated, concentrated way to begin marriage counseling. It's either a little under a 2-hour or 3-hour block (your choice), as opposed to the shortened therapy hours dictated by traditional approaches) and is designed to get you off to a quick start and begin turning things around immediately (and thus, it's called "180").
While starting with a conventional 45-50 minute session is always available, Marriage-180 is by far John Eckenwiler's most preferred way to begin couples work. Couples commonly ask at the outset of marriage counseling, "Is there any way we can come in for more than a 45-50 minute session?" Getting started with a longer session is not only more popular, it is much more effective. The aim is to get an immediate reversal in the direction of your relationship and forge the way for lasting solutions.
Before you begin, John will email you questionnaires he designed himself to target what's really important when couples are having difficulties. Then during the session, you will learn how to transform your problems into workable and attainable written goals. These goals will become much of your homework for the next several weeks. This will all be based on a thorough assessment of what makes your relationship tick and is customized just for you. You will also receive a copy of John Eckenwiler's book, Shatterproof Your Marriage, at no extra charge.
Are you serious about wanting change and are you willing to help make it happen? An integral and highly unique feature of Marriage-180 is a written, detailed 30-day behavior challenge issued to each partner that is guaranteed to change your relationship immediately if you accept the challenge.
In this "challenge", you will be instructed to do one carefully selected behavior every day for 30 days. This behavior are based on the principle of "as if". This principle says we can create a new reality by acting "as if" it's already real. You create a positive self-fulfilling prophesy. This approach is more than just thinking positively -- it's a therapeutic method that is proven by research to work. This challenge is in addition your other homework based on the goals identified in the session. John Eckenwiler has been married since 1974 and still uses these principles in his own marriage!
Marriage-180 is not a quick-fix or hyped up program. It is simply a concentrated approach to get you off to the best start possible with couples counseling and help you begin changing the course of things right away. Growth and change is an ongoing process, but it's possible to see dramatic improvement in 30 days. You will be helped to create a plan for positive change that WILL work if you follow it. The rest will be up to you.
To schedule a 1, 2 or 3-hour block, you can go to the scheduling page. Morning hours are available upon request (for the 3-hour block only). You can email John here or call 303-267-2282 for further questions.
Applicable insurance plans can be billed for a 45 minute session, and you will be responsible for any balance remaining after this is applied at the time of service. For fee information, click counseling rates.
