Would you like to improve your relationship, but just can’t seem to find the time in your busy schedules to make a counseling appointment work together? You’re normal!

Between demanding careers, packed school and extracurricular calendars, family responsibilities, and maybe a little family or friend drama on top of it all, many couples find themselves stuck in the same dilemma. You know your marriage could use a little attention, but finding a time when you can both sit down with a counselor is just impossible.

If this sounds familiar, there may be another way.

Marriage Counseling Doesn’t Always Have to Mean Sitting in the Same Room

Many couples find it incredibly helpful to incorporate one-on-one appointments instead of relying only on the traditional approach of both spouses meeting with a counselor together.

When you both work with the same counselor, you have an opportunity to talk through concerns, experiences, and challenges from your own perspective. Your spouse has that same opportunity. The counselor can then help put those puzzle pieces together, identify patterns, and guide both of you toward healthier communication and a stronger relationship.

There may be times when meeting together fits your schedule, and other times when individual conversations help p things moving forward. You don’t ave to put your marriage goals on hold waiting for the perfect time to appear on your calendar.

Counseling That Works With Your Schedule

This approach can also provide much more flexibility for busy couples.

Individual sessions can take place in person at our office or virtually through video or phone appointments. When your schedules allow for a session together, couples still have the option to meet in person or virtually.

The goal is to find an approach that works for your relationship and your real life.

After all, the hectic lifestyle that may be contributing to distance in your relationship shouldn’t also be the thing that keeps you from working to make it better.

Sometimes the answer isn’t solo counseling or marriage counseling.

It’s yes, and.

If you want a counselor that is not just going to teach your child a few coping skills, but is really invested in working with the family to sustain positive outcomes you need to check out Julie and Winter Garden Kids. Julie was a colleague of mine and former supervisor who’s top priority has always been working in cooperation with the child and family to help maximize positive counseling outcomes. Positive encouragement, open listening, and gentle guidance are characteristics of Julie's professionalism that I love about her approach. Julie has a contagious passion for life and enhancing the child and family relationship. Encouraging growth, exploration, and learning are all a part of what Julie does effortlessly when you work with her. For me, meeting and working with Julie has been a huge bright spot in my career as she has taught me what an exceptionally proficient, moral, ethical, Clinical Counselor truly looks like. I would highly recommend taking a look at Julie and Winter Garden Kids if you are looking for Counseling services.

I highly recommend Bryan for individual and couples therapy. He always made me feel comfortable and I felt like I could be myself which is super important when going to counseling.

I met with Bryan for about 8 months. I began meeting with him individually (for about 5 months) and for the final 3 months, my partner and I went together. We cannot be any more emphatic when we say that our experience with Bryan was wonderful.

Bryan demonstrates a superb level of care and commitment to his clients. He fosters an environment of openness, honesty, and acceptance that allows clients to confront their flaws and limitations in order to heal and make changes for the better. It is clear that Bryan is in this profession for all the right reasons and is gifted as a counselor. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

Thank you Bryan!

To put it simply Bryan is a superstar! Yes, he is an excellent therapist...I have several family members and friends who have been referred to him, and he is absolutely wonderful. He has and uses a Christian foundation with his counseling and has a calm, pleasant demeanor that puts his patients at ease. He is insightful with his approach to therapy and I would recommend him to any colleague, friend, or patient without reservation.

I started working with Bryan 7 months prior to writing this review. I went alone in hopes that he could help with some relationship issues I was unable to solve on my own. Bryan has been nothing short of a miracle in my life. My story is still being written, but I look forward to my appointments with him. He is calm, kind-hearted, and genuinely wants me to succeed. He looks at every angle and gives guidance/suggestions that only betters my situation. Bryan is extremely intelligent and knows how to help people. Better than that he enjoys helping people. I will continue to refer him to anyone and everyone. True companionate people are not just hard to find but he does with the intent of actually building his patients up. I can not say enough great things about him, and strongly recommend him to anyone in need.

My husband and I met with Bryan for about 5 months. The time and money we spent were without a doubt, one of the very best investments we have made for our marriage. The care and commitment with which Bryan treats his clients are outstanding. He patiently, kindly, and honestly helps clients understand situations or wounds with clarity to which he offers sound and concrete steps towards healing. Bryan helped my husband and I to grow as individuals as well as together as a couple, and our marriage was strengthened tremendously.

After our marriage counseling concluded, I continued to meet with Bryan individually for about 3 months. Bryan helped me to understand my need for a better relationship with God which sent me on a journey that completely changed my life. I continue to live with the same struggles (from an incurable medical issue) yet I no longer suffer from the debilitating depression it used to cause me. I will never be able to adequately thank Bryan for the gift his counseling gave me and my marriage.

I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.

Thank you, Bryan!
