Purpose
TSCS is committed to investing in individual and couples’ relationship skills by using evidence-based resources, exercises, curricula, and initiatives to improve, enhance, and strengthen relationship quality and stability, sometimes described as relationship health.
Vision
TSCS is committed to utilizing a person-centered framework that addresses all factors (for example, emotional, sociological, and physical) which can impact an individual’s or couple’s relationship health.
Values
We have one request for all of our clients. We ask our clients to be TRANSPARENT. To effectively help our clients, our clients must be willing to be transparent about different areas within their lives so that we can provide the best support for effective decision-making.
Listen, we understand. This may be very uncomfortable. However, we are committed to creating a culturally relevant and culturally sensitive safe space through the following:
- Listening without judgment
- Asking layered questions to get to the heart of challenges
- Celebrating individual/couple strengths
- Being empathetic in every way possible
- Maintaining confidentiality in all matters
- Operating with the fullest integrity
- Providing action plans to help supplement consultation services
- Utilizing different types of individual and relationship-building exercises, lessons, and curriculum
- Referring to other types of intervention services (e.g., a trained therapist/counselor) if necessary
Relationship Education
To be clear, relationship education is not relationship counseling. There are two different services. TSCS only provides relationship education and will refer to relationship counselors when appropriate.
Relationship education promotes tenets, resources, practices, and, most importantly, education about relationships based on evidence-based research. Relationship education is often described as a “road map” for helping individuals and couples find strategies and resources that best fit their unique circumstances via an educational formation. Relationship education can be offered through one-on-one consultation services (zoom or in person), interactive workshops, and uses evidence based RE programs and assessments (e.g., PREP, Prepare/Enrich) to help facilitate this process.
Various studies show that adequately prepared and educated couples significantly increase their chances of developing and maintaining a healthy, safe, and sustainable relationship.
Our number one goal is to help you cultivate a strong relationship foundation, encourage you to have transparent conversations with one another, and increase your chances of having a healthy relationship.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this substitute for traditional therapy/counseling?
Relationship education is not therapy/counseling, although it can help you identify areas of growth that can be navigated with a licensed counselor/therapist. We work closely with various therapists/counselors and can recommend their services if necessary.
Who will be helping me/us work through relationship education?
A trained professional who has received certification in relationship education curriculum (e.g., Prepare/Enrich, PREP) will work with individuals/couples.
Is TSCS relationship education services right for me?
If you are looking to improve the quality of your life and the quality of your relationships, then yes. These services are appropriate for you.
TSCS relationship education services are NOT for you if any of the following are true:
- You are a minor and/or under the age of 18
- You are in an emergency or urgent crisis
- You were required to undergo specialized therapy either by a court order or other authority
- You are in a physically abusive relationship and are concerned for your immediate and/or long-term safety
Will the TSCS professional maintain confidentiality?
Yes, no information discussed in the sessions will be shared with any outside member. However, if it is determined that there is immediate danger, the TSCS professional may contact official authorities.
Here are a few additional ways confidentiality will be maintained:
- We do not work with insurance companies because we are not therapists. No information needs to be shared, reported, or filed.
- You can decide to exit a session at any point in time.
The individual/couple will determine the place to meet. If it is a public place, all parties must visit the area at least once before the session to ensure there are confidential areas within that place to conduct the session. - TSCS will use no tape recorders or other recording materials. If a zoom session is necessary, the zoom will not be recorded.
- If the individual/couple determines they would like the session recorded, a consent form would need to be signed by all members involved in the recording.
Is there a cost to TSCS relationship education?
Yes, as with any service offered, a fee will be associated per session. However, the fee will be discussed and agreed upon before all parties commit to using our services. We recommend six sessions per individual/couple to benefit from the program entirely. However, there will be a per-session fee if individuals/couples prefer a reduced or extended number of sessions. A 25% deposit will be required for all sessions.
