My name is Derrick Javan Hoard and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working out of Seattle, Washington. You can click here to verify my licensure. I love helping couples learn to communicate effectively and stop fighting over stupid things.
No matter what your individual issues are in your relationship, every problem in every relationship comes down to ineffective communication. Who's to blame for it is the reason most people wait until its too late to seek therapy. Because we are unable to effectively communicate we have to tell ourselves stories about why our partner behaves the way they do. Most often, those stories are not good ones. Additionally, there is a dynamic called "pursuing and withdrawing" which is primarily responsible for why you have conversations that always seem to end up in a circle. My job is to help interrupt that cycle so that you can finally hear each other.
I help by providing a neutral space for you to negotiate the rules and expectations of your relationship. I guide and instruct the process toward effective communication. Effective communication is more about how you say what you say rather than the words you actually use. The flow of water rather than the water itself.
This depends heavily on the amount of resentment in your relationship as well as the way in which you and your partner frame your problems. Most couples stay with me on average 3 to 7 sessions. Therapy is over whenever you are able to guide yourselves through the process of effective communication.
No, not necessarily. I only need the most motivated partner. If you are currently reading this alone, then that is you. And, if the unmotivated partner is willing to at least attend the free consultation I usually have a good track record of keeping them on board.
Take advantage of my free consultation where you and your partner can meet with me and ask me any questions you might have. No question is off limits as the purpose is to make sure that I am a good fit for your relationship. I will also ask you some questions and if we are a good fit we will work together and if not, I will help you with the referral process. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you get through this rough patch.
I offer financial scholarships where I will subsidize up to 70% of the cost of therapy for those in financially difficult situations. To qualify you must attend an initial consultation and verbally request a scholarship My hourly rate is $250 per hour. You may use your insurance using a superbill and be reimbursed directly by your insurance company. I do not submit claims on your behalf, but I will take care of the paperwork for you to submit your own insurance claims.
