Hundreds of hours of training
100+ hours of conducting GMCT

Please be aware that not all couples are appropriate or ready for the deep work involved in couples counseling. In such cases, we may recommend other options, including, but not limited to: pursuing individual therapy; completing a treatment program like drug/alcohol rehab, anger management, interpersonal violence programming; or, attending a retreat or workshop.

Every day is a perfect opportunity to show your love and appreciation. Remember, it’s not about grand gestures but the small, everyday actions that count.

✨👫 Sometimes, the strongest thing you can do as a couple is ask for a helping hand. 🌟

Set aside some time, perhaps over a cup of tea or coffee, to discuss your feelings and boundaries regarding porn. Understanding and respecting each other’s views can profoundly strengthen your bond. 🌟

In love, as in driving a manual car, knowing when to shift gears is key to a smooth and joyful journey.

You’re on this journey together, navigating the ups and downs of couples counseling, committed to growing as a unit. But what if the roots of your challenges lie deep within individual experiences like trauma or substance use? It might be time to pause and reflect inwardly.
