Relationship Checkup

What is the Relationship Checkup?

The relationship checkup combines Dr. Bordieri's clinical expertise with a research-based online assessment to help couples learn about the strengths and challenges of their relationship and guide them in developing new strategies to enhance their relationship, improve communication, and build off their existing strengths.  

The online assessment is based on over 40 years of research by Dr. John Gottman – one of the leading researchers in the couple’s therapy field.  It includes questions about friendship, intimacy, how you manage emotions and conflict, how you share your values and goals, and what gives meaning to your lives.  The assessment consists of 480 questions and typically takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on how fast you progress through the questions.  The questionnaire is completely confidential, fully HIPAA compliant, and only Dr. Bordieri will have access to your results -you and your partner will not see or have access to each other’s responses. 

Once you complete the assessment Dr. Bordieri will review the results and provide you with personalized feedback based on your responses and your individual sessions.  In your feedback session Dr. Bordieri will walk you through your strengths and areas for growth and help you to benefit from Dr. John Gottman's research and strive to become "relationship masters."   You will also receive structured activities and resources to strengthen your communication and the quality of your relationship.

Relationship Checkup Package

The relationship checkup package includes:
  1. The online relationship checkup assessment based on over 40 years of research by Dr. John Gottman – one of the leading researchers in the couple’s therapy field
  2. Dr. Bordieri's analysis of your results
  3. A 75-minute couple's session during Dr. Bordieri's online office hours (weekdays at or before 5:30pm) to review your results and get personalized feedback on strengths and areas for growth
  4. Initial recommendations and structured activities to build new skills and strengthen the quality of your relationship.
  1. Two 30-minute individual online assessment sessions ($220 value) or two 45-minute individual online assessment sessions ($370 value)
  2. The online relationship checkup questionnaire and Dr. Bordieri's analysis of your relationships strengths and challenges based on the individual assessments and relationship checkup results ($90 value)
  3. An online extended couple's therapy session (1.5 hours) to review your results and provide personalized feedback on strengths and suggest areas for growth along with recommendations and structured activities to build relationship skills and strengthen the quality of your relationship. ($330 value)

The relationship checkup is offered as a package with either:
a.) Two 30-minute individual partner sessions ($640 value if booked separately) for $560 when paid by credit card, discounted to $535 when paid by bank transfer or check

b.) Two 45-minute individual partner sessions ($790 value if booked separately) for $675 when paid by credit card, discounted to $650 when paid by bank transfer or check



The relationship checkup is way to assess the health of your relationship, similar to an annual physical. 


The relationship checkup package can be a resource, even for couples who are not in distress, to gain information and resources enhance their relationship.  It can also be a way to explore whether you might benefit a more extended relationship enhancement program or couple's therapy.  It can also be used to accelerate the assessment process at the start of couple's therapy and can be used to inform ongoing couple's therapy services.

2. Complete the online assessment
After your appointment request is confirmed you and your partner will each receive an email invitation to join The Gottman Relationship Checkup.  You and your partner will each create individual, separate profiles so that you can complete your own questionnaire at your own convenience - stop and start at any time. Stop and start at any time.  To preserve the integrity and accuracy of the assessment, you are encouraged not to share your re­sponses with each other or log in to your partner’s account.
Both you and your partner must complete your online assessment questionnaires 2-3 days prior to your individual assessment sessions.

3. Attend your individual assessment appointments
You and your partner will meet with Dr. Bordieri separately for 45 minutes and then schedule your extended couple's session to review your results.
