Relationship Assessment
Every relationship has its share of challenges.
When challenges become problems, they cause
a certain level of distress for a couple. Lack of
good problem solving and conflict resolution
skills can be both a cause and a result of a
strained relationship.

Assess your problem solving abilities by rating each
category below on a scale from 1-10. Calculate your
score and compare it with the assessment scale below.

need some assistance.

38-50: FAR FROM THE EDGE. Congratulations! You have wonderful problem solving and conflict
resolution skills.

READY FOR HELP?

Effective problem solving and conflict resolution skills are necessary for a happy and healthy
relationship. We find most couples have their own preferred ways of handling conflict that are
best suited for them. We help people tap into their unique intuitive problem-solving strategies so
they can begin to push through problem areas and experience new levels of happiness together.
This however, cannot happen by reading a book or listening to a tape program. Under the
guidance of a trained professional, you can achieve this and so much more.  Give us a call at
516-764-2526 (Nassau County)  or 845-626-2257 (Ulster County) or e-mail us to discuss how we
can help you.
