Clay has been instrumental in helping my husband and me get our marriage back on the right track. The homework he assigns aligns with our goals and helps keep us accountable in our day-to-day progress. His coaching approach through Venus Mars Coaching has provided exactly the guidance our relationship needed during a rough patch that we truly thought we might not make it through. We are grateful for his support and the positive impact he has had on our journey together. My husband and I are excited to continue moving forward with both individual and marriage coaching with Clay and look forward to the growth ahead.

Clay was awesome. He listened to the issues and then responded. He was willing to work with us on our scheduling and was the perfect fit. He gave great advice after listening to the issues at hand. He made my fiancé and I feel comfortable to talk to him, the advice never felt forced and seemed tailored made for us.

Working with our marriage coach has been great!! and a very helpful, eye-opening experience. He listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions that allow (you🪞 ) to see things differently, and offers practical, compassionate guidance that makes every session feel purposeful and motivating. My husband I have become more aware of ourselves, needs, wants, and attributes in our marriage. Through his coaching, my husband and I are now able to have healthier communication habits, rebuilding trust, and learned to approach each other with more empathy and closeness. Beyond improving our marriage, Clay guidance has helped me grow as an individual — more patient, more understanding, and more hopeful about the future. If you’re looking for a coach who will believe in your potential, challenge you to grow, and walk alongside you every step of the way, I highly would recommend Clay Smith

Clay is extremely easy to talk to. He brings me back to the task at hand as I tend to wander in my thinking patterns with patience. I am feeling considerably better after just 2 calls that I will reach my goals and it will not be as difficult to arrive there as I was imagining it would be.

Just want to give a big thank you to Clay for being responsive, available, and coming up with ways to help life be more successful for my relationship as well as personally. Clay is on top of sending worksheets, videos, books, and creating homework designed to help think, process, and act in ways that keep us on top of our life and relationship goals. If you're trying to decide if you should consider Clay as your relationship coach, I would recommend him because for me and my partner he has listened, shown up, and given useful advice. After working with several different counselors over the last 5 years with unsuccessful results, I'm so grateful for Clay!
