Our couples sessions were a game changer

Tina Casey - Winchester, VA

When I first became a client, I was seeking advice on getting over my boyfriend of 7 years. I was given tools on how to deal with negative self-talk and confidence. Everything incorporated God’s word and I needed that. My boyfriend and I got back together, and both started doing couples counseling. The sessions have made such a dramatic improvement in our relationship. We went from an affair, to separation, and then got back together again - this time even stronger than before. With our sessions, we learned healthier communication habits and have more respect for one another. Total game changer! We now listen to each other "to understand" instead of listening "to respond".

​What I liked most about our couples' sessions was how I felt like we were on an "even playing field". One of us was never made to feel better or worse than the other, and we were given different ideas to try out in our relationship. We have incorporated the skills given to us and we work things out a new way instead of arguing. We have been actively working on leaving the past in the past and moving on together. My personal relationship with God has also become stronger. I’m wanting to learn more. I’ve asked Him to be part of our relationship and to help guide our hearts toward Him. I believe since I have invited Him in things have changed for the better. I now put more effort into living God’s word.
