Testimonials

When my fiance told me about premarital counseling, I wanted nothing to do with it. But after the first session I wanted to be here, and tonight, as we finish up, I want you to know that it was great to help us talk about things that we simply had not covered.

John

Dr. Tim, I wanted to thank you for helping me take off my “sheriff’s badge” and my “victim” tshirt so that I can get along better with other kids and do better in school.

Evan

Age 10
Tim, what you said about me having a self-centered, victim mentality that has spent decades blaming others for my unhappiness and depression was very freeing for me. It set me on a course of counseling that gave me hope, because I can change things about myself and my perspective. I could never change the other people.

Ann

Age 60
Tim, when I first saw you my marriage looked hopeless! Without you I would have been impatient and moved on, but after over six months of waiting and trying to love my wife better, I’m now back home and hopeful about our future together!
