Communication Skills

The ability to send and receive clear, direct messages is the foundation of good communication. PCS places a high value on teaching good communication skills and understanding communication styles. Your style of communicating (assertive, aggressive or passive-aggressive) impacts the way your messages are delivered and received and can either enhance or undermine your relationships. Whether you want to improve the intimacy in your marriage, increase the understanding in family interactions, or improve your work relationships, PCS can help. We offer introductory workshops in core communication skills every Monday utilizing the tools developed at the University of Minnesota Study Center. This educational program will help you understand yourself and provide you tools to take charge of your relationships and become more effective in your day to day communication. In addition, many of our therapists are trained to help you expand and practice improved communication with your partner or family members.
