Marriage & Family Consultation

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIP CONSULTANT SERVICES

As a relationship consultant, the consultant serves as an agent for couples, families and individuals to identify barriers and relationship issues to improve communication and develop skills for resolving conflict to enhance and renew the relationship. Other exclusive services offered are premarital and marital enrichment, family relationship dynamics, life change events, and grief support to assist clients in finding renewal in their lives.

Couples and family relationships thrive on safe haven and trust. When a safe haven and/or trust are breached by an act of misconduct or distrust, the relationship is no longer safe and secure. Indistinct drives partners or families to attempt independent reconnection as best they know how, yet sometimes leads to increased disconnect of the relationship dynamics. In relationship consulting, the client(s) and consultant work together to peel the layers of pain and to identify the source and work to restore relationship.

GRIEF SUPPORT
