Scott J. Terres, M.A. LPC: I have been a practicing clinician since 1998, focusing on individual, marital and couples counseling using a competency based approach. My philosophy incorporates the past success of the individuals with potentially new ideas that enable clients to solve current problems and provide a success based framework for future concerns. I have a Masters in Family Psychology and am currently finishing my dissertation for my Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy. My specialties include marital and couples counseling, family counseling, pre-marital therapy, sex therapy, individual counseling with individuals age 12 and above, financial consulting, parenting strategies for the newly divorced and issues of stress, depression and anxiety.
What is brief therapy? What I like to do is help clients focus on one or two main issues at any given time. I work with the client to set realistic and attainable goals toward the desired resolution. This means that I am fairly directive with clients, offering suggestions and new ways of confronting a challenge. I often ask clients to practice these new skills between sessions and may assign additional goal related tasks as “homework.” The reason for this is simple. Additional work outside of the counseling session gives you a better chance for success in whatever goal you are trying to reach.
Pre-marital Package For clients who are specifically wanting pre-marital therapy, I offer a 4 session package at the cost of $400 total. In these sessions, we will cover a variety of standard topics as well as specific concerns that the couple wants to address. Currently, this will not count toward the Travis County marriage license classes. If a client wishes to continue counseling after the 4 session package, my normal hourly rate would apply starting with the fifth session.
