Just when you thought it is all over…
You have been struggling as partners for what seems forever. There doesnt seem to be any agreement. And the resentments keep piling up.

And the challenges keep growing:
Emotional and/or physical abuse
Substance abuse
Poor Communication
Infedility
Can this be ‘fixed’?
There is light at the end of the tunnel!
Counseling (in Asheville, NC, and anywhere) not easy. It is work. Most of the time one partner wants counseling more than the other.
However, when both partners want positive changes in the relationship, amazing things can happen and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Sharing with a counselor you don’t know can be difficult. Most feel that if they are honest that the relationship will actually fall apart and breakdown and that the good things that have been built over time will be lost.
You don’t want to lose the love, friendship, trust, memories and family relationships that you both have invested in.
So, what is the counseling process?
In counseling, both partners have the opportunity to share their own view of the relationship problems and issues. There is a great deal of encouragement to identify the good things about the relationship.
It is my job as your counselor here in Asheville to work with you both and guide you together through the anger and resentment, the pain and breakdown and help you see and experience each other in a new light, rebuilding Trust and Love. Part of the work is educational and part of the work is uncovering aspects of yourselves and your relationship that are revealing. You can expect a fair, balanced and respectful process.
So what happens if this doesn’t work?
To be honest there are no guarantees that counseling is The solution. If you and your partner are in agreement about coming to counseling with a desire to change and move forward, change WILL occur and there WILL be a new direction for your relationship.
These changes come from within and when both partners are in agreement about the changes, your relationship will move in a different direction. .
