Family Counseling Testimonial

ZARA,

I want to express my gratitude for the beautiful changes in my family. We are closer happier, and treat one another with much more respect and compassion – two qualities that were not there before.

When I first called you, I said I needed a ton of

grief handled. Regarding my beloved husband,

you handled my biggest grief issue for 22 years, and you helped him so very much.

Another improvement you facilitated is that my three daughters are now fun to be around.

Since having sessions and readings with you and coming to your classes, I find myself laughing a lot – whistling, humming and experiencing two things I’d almost forgotten…Happiness and that elusive thing called Joy!

ZARA, when God bestowed you with the gifts you have and the Angels came forward to back you up, they chose well. You have used those

gifts to help so many.

Know these blessings will always come back to you.

We love you,

  Betty Hall & family

Couples Counseling & Family Counseling

Couples counseling and family counseling focuses on the problems in the relationship between people.

These relationship problems always involve individual  problems, as well as the relationship conflicts.

As an example, anger management problems and stressful situations can lead to arguments and relationship problems with ones partner and negatively influence the rest of the family.

In couples counseling, we will help you and your partner to identify the issues in your relationship, and to help you decide the changes needed, both in the relationship and in the behavior of each partner so you both can feel satisfied with your relationship.

In family counseling, we work with all members of the family to identify the individual and inter-personal problems.

These may include different ways of acting and speaking with each other.

There may also be individual, personal changes that need to be made.

Examples include self-esteem, PTSD, motivation, depression, addictions, and childhood issues.

Both couples and family counseling also involves learning how to communicate with

each other more effectively.

This may include both what to say (or not say), and how to say it in such a way that the other can hear and understand it.

Sometimes couples & family counseling is very similar to individual counseling; sometimes it is more like negotiation, and education.

It is often the combination of the these three that makes the counseling most effective.

Thank you so much for your help ZARA.

Now, due to your help, things are progressing in a way that is satisfactory to me in every way. I’m so glad I listened to you!

I feel a lifting all around me.
You helped to me get rid of the label of

being the bad one in the family, while 

my sister who did many mean things

was always labeled as the good one.

With that cleared, a freedom opened up for me.  I don’t feel guilty anymore!

I feel the burgeoning of self-respect,

as if all of my molecules were re-organizing themselves into a taller self.

      Have a beautiful day,
      Love and hugs,

Dear ZARA,

Maury and I would like to say thank you in writing.  Thank you for sharing your professional skills and talents to help bring us to a happier place.  By providing a safe place for us to openly discuss the past and the present, we feel there is a more positive future for our relationship with Julie and her boys.

Everyone needs to be heard.  Thank you for guiding us through the telling, the hearing, and to an understanding of how each of us can live the same experience, yet see it so differently. I was so pleased to have eventually been included. It was important that Julie and I clear up some misconceptions, apologize for some past behaviors and come to a place of real acceptance.  I am particularly grateful that you have been able to help Julie gain the confidence to become the incredible individual we knew she could be.

For me, the biggest lesson has been that I should never say something about someone that I would not say to someone.  Also, if I hear something about someone and wonder if it is true, perhaps, I should ask them.  You and Julie have made me wiser, and I am grateful.  I have never felt more accepted and loved.

As much as anything, Maury feels he has gained access to his daughter.  Although he came reluctantly, he is grateful that Julie’s persistence and your facilitating skills have provided us a sense of family, something, it appears, Julie has always wanted.

We have more work to do, but know that you can take us where we need to go.

Sincerely,     Maury & Donna Hood
