Marriage and Relationship Counseling
My parents we’re very skeptical as they’ve tried marriage counseling before without success. Shortly after their first marriage counseling session, my parents called me to tell me how satisfied they were and how they look forward to future sessions. They said the doctor was very professional, down to earth, relatable, listened and provided feedback as well. My dad even liked him and said he feels he can help him as well, even with his anger management, which is a relief because my father is a very critical person. My parents were also appreciative that they were given homework after their first session, which they were never given with other marriage counselors previously. I am relieved and encouraged after just one session that the doctor can help my parents strengthen their relationship and their marriage for many more years to come.

Stephen is great. He remains impartial while explaining how to better communicate with your partner. He also explains how to maintain that communication. My relationship is a work in progress but I know with Stephen’s help we’ll get through it.

So far the professional and start up process has been handled great by Joana. She responds promptly and does a great job of making sure she finds out the best way to service the client! If she is this great at what she does I have great hopes that the counseling session will be on the same level.

Had one FaceTime call and he outlined everything my husband and I needed to do to get our marriage on track. Gave a homework assignment and told us that if we put in the work we could be successful. Gave me hope. Can’t wait till my next appointment.
