We just don't know how to thank you for this experience. Couples Therapy was one of the hardest things we did, and we only look back now to see how far we have come. You didn't give up on us and we didn't either, and we are so thankful that we didn't. Love feels so different between us now, and although we had to work for it, the work was one of our best accomplishments yet. Thank you Shantel.
"WOW!! We still can't believe what a difference this weekend made for us. We feel the best we ever have. And I still can't believe how much we opened up to each other after all these years. This was life-changing for us. Thank you for what you do Shantel. We loved being a part of the workshop."
“We didn’t realize what was really hurting us..."
“We absolutely feel closer. Since the workshop we haven't had any funky moments, and that's a huge win for us. There were times that we could pick at something really small, even just once a day. But since the workshop, we are very focused at making this work a habit. “
Michelle M.
"I want to express how thankful we are to you. As a result of our session, I'm back living at our place and we are really committed to each other and working through this. There is a lot of love in this marriage and it meant so much what you gave to us."
Couples Who wish for things to get better but put in no effort only fool themselves into believing that time will heal their wounds and feelings of disconnection. The truth is, it is only too late to repair your relationship if you say it is. If you are ready to see what the possibilities are to strengthen your love, I am ready to help you. The work you do can pay off when you understand better what has been drawing a wedge between you.
Yes and Yes. Whether you are in a relationship or not, you can benefit from the workshops I offer. I offer Singles and couples workshops and singles who are preparing for a relationship or who are in the early dating stages of a relationship can attend with a friend and find out before you enter into a relationship where you need more emotional support. Better understand relationship missteps, so you don't continue to waste valuable time, ending up further from your life than living it.
Couples Counseling or Relationship Coaching can make a difference even from the first session. And yet, the work couples do in and out of sessions matters tremendously as well as a couples motivation. The time you need to heal and work through what has impacted you is important for me to acknowledge and make room for. My exclusive focus will be on you and your partner and what you need in each moment, and we will take time to respond. And along the way in our work, you will receive supportive handouts and exercises at key moments that support your success. They can often add to the progress you experience. Results vary from couple to couple, yet couples who get the most from sessions are couples that stay long enough and put in the work week to week or over the course of a weekend workshop.
It's normal to feel met with fear and even anxiety when you think about opening up a conversation about your relationship on your own or even with a therapist. And you might still saying something you don't mean quite the way it was said. My training and experience as a couples therapist has me poised for those moments, and even if things do get hairy, together we can work through even the toughest moments and seek for you to find your voice and understanding.
I usually invite couples in for a first and perhaps second session to evaluate where they are as a couple and to get a picture of your relationship. A lot of couples can benefit from the couples workshop I offer. Other couples can often find that the workshop can compliment couples therapy beautifully. We keep the conversation and options open as I provide my best recommendation. You decide what offering I have is best for you.
Although as a therapist, we can't make guarantees, what I promise you is that you will have my full attention and my best efforts. The couples and singles I work with become very important to me. I feel their pain and struggle and I turn toward it, not away. I will show up for you in a way that may feel stunning to you. You will know that I am listening. And as a result, the effort you and I put in, can potentially help set your relationship free to it's greatest potential and you on a course to being the best version of yourself with loving well taking priority.
