In Marriage Counseling...

You can become free to respond in a loving way to the needs of your partner, without fear of losing yourself.

Marriage Counseling...
encourages you to ask the right questions, instead of giving advice or arguing for your point of view. It  reduces conflict and leads to productive problem-solving. Differences become a source of creative cooperation, rather than a justification for destructive competition.

Marriage Counseling...
allows you to listen carefully to yourself, so that you realize that you really do know what you want. As you accept and appreciate the human quality of your own desires, you can afford to be more responsive to and supportive of the wishes of your partner. You learn to relate to your partner in a way that affirms that your needs and theirs are equally important.

You don't have to choose between giving up yourself in order to be in a relationship or giving up your relationship in order to be yourself. Marriage counseling helps you to have both!

Why trust us?

Of the hundreds of people offering relationship advice, how can you  choose who to listen to; why should you trust us with your most important intimate relationships problems?

Very simple.  we have been there AND we have applied our training, knowledge, theories, understandings, etc., to our own personal and business lives, and have lived to tell the tale. 

We've been married (TO EACH OTHER) for over 48 years. We've been business partners for 37 years.  We've experienced, survived, and grown from almost everything that two people together will ever run into.

Are any of the challenges we've faced threatening to destroy YOUR marriage?

Are you, like many of our clients, trying to cope with situations like these that you've never had to handle before?

• Coping with major and minor moves, career changes, failures and successes;
• Struggling through stagnation, new directions, changing roles;
• Facing separations, distance, infidelity;
• Grieving a stillborn child — our first;
• Adjusting to births;
• Living with children growing, grown, moving out, succeeding, failing;
• Handling teenage runaways, drug abuse, and impressive achievements;
• Working through the deaths of parents — long illnesses, nursing homes, suicide;
• Celebrating investment successes and recovering from miserable failures;
• Getting older, loving it and hating it;
• Caring for grandchildren.

We've personally dealt with every one of these challenges. And we've helped our clients manage them, too.

Although we've never personally experienced the trauma of divorce, we've had years of experience helping couples who are thinking about divorce. 

Often, we can help even if you think divorce is your only option.

Call 303-794-5379 now to make your appointment.

FAQ

Q:  How long does Marriage Counseling take?
A: Sometimes only one session; sometimes a lot longer. It depends on many different things. We'll talk about it in the first session.

Q: Do we see both of you at the same time?
A: No, you only work with one of us. Otherwise, we tend to speak at the same time and say the same things.

Q: How do I choose which of you to see?
A: Decide if you're more comfortable with a man or a woman. If it doesn't matter, you can have a session with each and then decide, or you can flip a coin — or you can just see whose schedule matches yours.

Q: How much does it cost?
A: A lot less than a divorce. It's an investment in your future.  

Q: Is it covered by insurance?
A: Usually not. To make insurance work, you each have to have a mental illness diagnosis.

Q: Have you written anything else I can look at?
A: Lots. You can check out our blogs and publications at www.relationshiphq.com.

Q: What do your clients have to say about you?
A: Although we can't identify clients by name, you can read some of their comments here.
