Once you’ve spoken to the counselor you’ll be working with and scheduled your first appointment, you’ll be sent intake forms that you can fill out and bring with you when you come.

Or you might simply want to learn more about yourself, gain more emotional intelligence skills, or have a more vibrant experience of life and love.

“After several years together, my boyfriend was considering ending our relationship because of constant bickering. Our counselor was able to help us learn how to communicate better so that now we rarely fight, and can step back when things are too heated to discuss. He gave us the tools we needed to move forward in our relationship. We became engaged just 5 months after our last session. I do not think our relationship would have survived and flourished without your help.”
