I would highly recommend Dr. Bagley to anybody in seek of therapy. My husband and I first started going to him about 4 years ago. We had been married about 2 years and were having struggles that we couldn't seem to resolved on our own both in our marriage, as well as working together. Dr. Bagley helped us through our stressful time, and gave us the tools we needed to strengthen our marriage and work life. Eventually there was clarity between my husband and I, and Dr. Bagley told us that we were more than welcome to continue working with him, but that he thought we had reached a point where we could handle it on our own. He was right! We did it! I was impressed with Dr. Bagley's character and integrity throughout the whole process, and how he helped us use our strengths together rather than our weaknesses against us. He is also very personable and shares his own life experiences which you can relate to. The last couple of years we've continued to see him on an as needed basis for specific things that may arise in our relationship or family life. Dr. Bagley has a way of making things a little clearer for the both of us. We don't know where we'd be if we hadn't sought the help we needed from Dr. Bagley when we did. I truly believe he has contributed to us having a stronger marriage today. He truly cares about the people that come to see him. He also reminds us to have God at the center of it all. He has made a huge difference in our lives, and I am thankful we've had him to turn to during some of our toughest times.

Question and answer
Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.
A. Couples often need help with their communication skills, marital decision making and creating a safe place for their spouse to share painful things.
Then people feel protected and encouraged at the same time they can open up to receiving another persons love.
When gratitude begins to flow from a warm, cared for heart, relational roots grow deeper, providing the security that drives hope.
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Do your research. Ask the questions that matter to you. If the therapist is uncomfortable with your questions or your uncomfortable with her/his answers, keep looking.
The therapist/client fit is very important for trust to develop that allows and encourages change. Remember it is your therapy, the therapist is to be there for you.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I have 20 years of experience as a Marital & Pastoral Counselor. I work with couples and men. Because of my business consulting and executive coaching background I am able to help family business owners address their unique relationship problems.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I get to see relationships change, grow and become strong enough that others notice so mentoring beings to naturally happen.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. We are so different, is there hope for us?
God made each spouse unique so trying to come the same won't work. Acknowledging and accepting your differences will make you a strong couple that have more tools to use in solving your problems.
Why do I get so angry at him/her?
People get angry about things or people they care about. If you start expressing how importance your relationship so to you that send your mate a much better message but their value you have for them. It also help them listen rather than withdraw.
