What clients say about couples therapy...

"Just thought I would send a quick update. My husband and I are doing exceptionally well ! We are enjoying life and each other. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful our lives have been since last fall and our sessions with you. We always start each day centered and openly talk about our thoughts and feelings... something we had NEVER done in the 35+ years we've been together. We have such respect, love and commitment for each other ! I feel sooo blessed ! We are so happy and look forward to life together with a new appreciation for each other." - Patti

"Dr. Dan helped my wife and I develop tools for better communication, understanding & compassion during our disagreements. We also explored deeper negative behavioral issues (lack of sexual intimacy) stemming from core coping and or defense mechanisms which have been engrained and nurtured for years - some since childhood. By being aware of these core isues we can begin to rebuild our relationship in a more healthy manner. My Wife and I felt very comfortable talking with Dan and we found his professional skills extremely helpful. I would recommend Dr. Dan to anyone seeking professional couples counseling/therapy." - Steve

"Thank you for your help Dan. Of course I would have loved to meet with you longer but the issue my husband has with $$ makes that difficult. We absolutely benefited from your expertise and ability to help him see at least a few things to heal our marriage. I was helped by realizing that it is probably loneliness that is the gravitational pull towards depression for me and the fact that I need to communicate that to Steve. Date nights have been on the increase and this morning we took our first walk together. Thank you and God Bless! - Erica

For external reasons, we decided to prematurely end our counseling. However, I did find the act of describing our issues to Dan a positive one that has helped us talk more openly--without the defensiveness that had previously pervaded our relationship. - Terry

"I had been trying to get my husband to go to counseling with me for so long and now that it finally happened I am so thankful. WE found a great counselor who we both like very much. The hard part was scheduling. We live a decent distance away but you were able to accommodate us well. I wish that we could have done more sessions. It takes me awhile to open up and spit out what I need to say. But i feel my husband and I have a great start. I am deployed right now and would have loved to have one more session before I left but time just didn't allow it. I have a feeling that we will be back probably 1 or 2 times after I get home just to finish up and have a nice closing and to address anything else. i really enjoyed our sessions even though they were hard to do. I feel that with the counseling and our separation due to my deployment we are on a road to recovery. Being separated has actually been a blessing. My husband has been writing me letters and WOW, those are the words that I have been longing to hear. He has been awesome since I've been gone and I'm honestly looking forward to being with my husband more than I would have known. I have learned that Marriage is a never ending work in progress. I think we finally have a good start and I'm looking forward to what lies ahead." - Anonymous

I found that when coming to the sessions a comfortable and non judgemental atmosphere. This helped immensely in focusing on the issues rather than who to blame. - Anonymous
