Short-term counseling for long-term connections
Relationship Counseling of Ohio provides “intensives,” accelerated, personalized short-term couples counseling that is typically completed in two and a half days. Intensives facilitate better connection, communication, healing and hope. We use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), a model that has proven to be 90% effective compared to a 35% success rate with the next leading couples therapy model (Psychology Today).
Who We Are
Dr. Colby Srsic provides couples intensives and Dr. Allison Fagan provides group couples workshops and supervision to other therapists. They are among a select few psychologists in Ohio who have earned the credential of Certification by the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). They are doctoral level psychologists with specific expertise in Emotionally Focused Therapy, a research-validated approach to helping couples.
For more information on the model they use, visit www.ICEEFT.com or read this article published by Psychology Today. This link provides information on what to look for in an Emotionally Focused Therapist.
"Allison & Colby are two of my most respected colleagues. I trust their years of experience, insight and ability to deeply understand what is at the root of a couple's challenges or crisis. I tell my clients "You will be in good hands!" As an outcome, the written summary will help anchor you in this awareness and wisdom and can be used as a resource in your journey beyond the intensive."

Office Location:
633 High Street Worthington, Ohio
All sessions are primarily in person as this is how the model works best. However, the need for telehealth services for the assessment portion of the work can be discussed in the initial consultation.
Intensives happen at Dr. Srsic’s office located in the heart of beautiful, historic Old Worthington. The building sits on the southwest corner of High Street and New England Avenue - between the Worthington Inn and La Chatelaine Bakery. There is a gift shop, Fritzy Jacobs, on the ground level, and the office is located upstairs. Entry is off High Street; the door is marked 633. Once upstairs, you will see a door with Dr. Srsic’s name on it that will take you into the waiting room. Please allow some extra time for parking* as the building does not have its own parking lot.
Not only are we centrally located in Ohio, but we are within an 8-hour drive for 46% of the U.S. population and a non-stop flight from over 40 major U.S. cities.
* Parking: Sometimes there are available spaces on High Street or New England Avenue (north side of building). Additionally, there are parking spaces in municipal lots behind the Worthington Inn which is next door (located on the northwest corner of High and New England), behind the Worthington United Methodist Church (High St. but a bit further south), and behind the building that contains House Wine and Elli Nail Salon (this is on High Street but diagonal from the office).
