Does this sound familiar?

You want to feel connected to your partner but instead, you feel:

misunderstood and uncared for
unsatisfied and unsure of how much longer the lack of intimacy can persist (emotional and physical)
distrust and uneasiness
distant- like you guys aren't on the same page

Life does not have to stay this way.

Hi, we are a team of Couples Therapists, and we can help. We provide therapy and counseling for relationship issues using a combination of skill building (i.e. conflict resolution/communication skills) and emotional focused work (i.e unpacking and processing deeper emotional wounds). Our clients walk away from therapy feeling heard and validated, secure in their relationship, and reconnected and recommitted to their partner.

What some recent clients say about their experience with the staff at Encourage Counseling

Donna is a God-send! I was emotionally and mentally broken in my marriage. I learned of his serial adultery and decided to leave the marriage. Donna took her time with me, helping to rebuild my self-esteem and coaching me through impactful coping mechanisms as I transitioned to single motherhood. I'm stronger and much more confident because of Donna!

E.L.

Within the span of a year I was a newlywed and first time mother. Life changed fast and I needed someone to help me figure out how to handle and adjust to change in general. Donna helped me to process the ways in which my life was changing and how I could reshape my thinking to focus on positive and practice mindfulness each day. She was kind, open, and non judgemental in her words and insight.

C.J.

Donna is compassionate and truly sincere! She takes the time to get to know you and your life experiences. Transitions from one life to stage to the next can be rough but Donna really provides you with the support you need by listening and thoughtful feedback. I would definitely recommend her to any couple looking for extra support.
