COUNSELING

How would you feel if you knew that within a period of a few weeks, you would begin to experience tremendous improvements in your relationship and your life?

COURAGEOUS LOVING COUNSELING PROGRAMS:

Private counseling individuals or couples.

Phone/Skype options available for all programs. All Programs described below in detail.

People come to counseling for a lot of different reasons.  Whether a couple wants to make a last-ditch effort, or an individual wants to work out some patterns and problems that are affecting their career and lifestyle, everyone has something to learn and grow through.  Wherever you fall on the spectrum, the willingness to receive counseling opens the door to tremendous positive change.  Once you make a commitment to a program of counseling, you will see progress begin right away.

Our Counseling Programs (including our innovative Two-on-Two Couples Programs) are designed with an end in mind.  Like signing up for a class, you register for an introductory period of time – typically 12 weeks – which is then renewable if it’s deemed that a longer commitment to counseling is needed.  In this way, you know that you are headed to a “finish line” or “graduation” for you, or you and your partner.  This powerful structure has allowed for rapid breakthroughs in our client’s lives on a consistent basis.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT in our approach to couples counseling, is that we train you in Imago Dialogue, and we do it as a two-on-two mentoring couple who work like a chiropractor to get you’re relationship in place. You’re level of belief in hope that once seemed impossible will change when you see a couple in front of you who have walked the path and are now teaching others.

“Since embracing Imago (with Amy and Michael) as a couple, our relationship has shifted into a new place of understanding and empathy.   Imago Therapy has given our troubled relationship hope for our future.”

-D.B. (Couples Counseling)

TWO-ON-TWO INTRODUCTORY COUPLES SESSION:

“My husband and I experienced an Introductory Session with Amy and Michael.  We began our counseling program 2 months ago and we’ve already seen a tremendous improvement in our marriage.  They have taught us to communicate better with each other, and my husband looks forward to coming to our weekly meetings. Thank you Amy and Michael.”   – Millie V. (Couples Client)

If you want to a chance to experience how helpful Couples Counseling can be, then begin with a two-on-two Introductory Session.  You and your partner will be immediately mentored by Amy and Michael Sherman on how to communicate safely in a way that lets both of you be heard.  The power of receiving a Two-On-Two Intro Session will give you and your partner an immediate sense of hope and belief, knowing that you will be in the presence of a professional couple who have mastered the tools, been a mentor to many, and give it to you straight.

How compelling would it feel to you to know that no matter what’s happening in your relationship, marriage or partnership, that you would be in the caring and knowledgeable hands of two fearless masters who know what it takes to turn things around?

Couples Intro Sessions are 75 minutes.  To schedule or for more info, call (845) 290-0565.

INDIVIDUAL INTRO SESSION/RELATIONSHIP ASSESSMENT:

“Before completing the Courageous Loving Relationship Assessment and beginning a program of phone counseling, I was very conflicted about where I was in my life.  This work has helped me immensely to figure out my relationships, and it has helped give direction and focus to my life.”        -Eddie D. (Individual Coaching Client)

For many of us, we get to a point of crossroads in our lives that will define us forever.  Whether its deciding to stay or separate from your partner, or if you are struggling to move forward in your career or your health, by understanding what’s really happening in our relationships, we can discover truths about ourselves and courageously step into a new direction. The key to experiencing change is awareness, and too many of us are unaware of the clues that our being offered to us by our partners at home and work.  In one individual introductory counseling session, you will gain that awareness.

The Courageous Loving Relationship Assessment is a powerful introductory option for singles or individual members of a couple to get a sense of what it is like to work with us.  It is a two-part process – a written packet and a one hour session (may be in-office or on phone).  What you do is focus on one frustrating relationship in your life, whether that be someone from home or work.  After completing the written section and the one hour counseling session, you will gain amazing new insights about that relationship and what it means to you in your life.  You will see a path to hope, freedom and change, not only in that relationship, but in all areas of your life.

The Courageous Loving Relationship Assessment is a perfect way to begin for clients in other areas of the world who are working on the phone or through Skype.  For potential clients who live locally, it may be a better fit to simply schedule a face-to-face one-hour intro session, where we will cover this material and help you to feel safe and find answers.
