Counseling is a safe place to grow. From time to time, individuals, couples, and families hurt for many different reasons. Counseling is a safe place to heal hurts, learn to get your needs met, and learn to meet the needs of others. If you are married and have lost the emotional bond you once shared or are dealing with the effects of an extramarital sexual affair, counseling is a critical step toward healing and strengthening the relationship.
Just like married couples, non-married couples who cohabitate can lose their emotional bond or be scarred by an affair, and counseling can help. Engaged couples can benefit from pre-marital preparation to get the marriage started in a positive way. It is not uncommon for individuals to have difficulties living life.

I am a long-time resident in Rochester, MN, and have always had a strong interest in helping people. I earned a Master of Divinity degree from Bethel Theological Seminary in St. Paul, MN, and a Master of Science degree in counseling from Winona State University in Winona, MN. I was an active clergyman for 20 years.
If you are married and have lost the emotional closeness and positive emotional bonding you once shared, then Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) may be the very tool you need in your marital relationship tool box. Pain can come from sexual betrayal; arguments over parenting; money; and/or not being heard, validated, or nurtured by your spouse.
In our culture, a high percentage of couples choose to live together before marriage. Studies show that over 60% of couples who live together before marriage have a higher divorce rate than couples that don't. However, many still chose to cohabitate to see "if we are compatible." I find many of these couples do love each other but still need the same EFT skills to thrive.
But stepping out of your comfort zone and reaching out to a licensed therapist is a positive step that can lead to a more fulfilling, healthy life.

I was not impressed. Although, I did give him the benefit of the doubt and attended several sessions.
He gave bad examples and advice about medications, which he’s not a doctor and not trained for.
He spent a lot of time during our first session talking about his website that needed updating.
He seems to have his standard techniques, reading list, and exercises.
When both my partner were confused with the first exercise, he didn’t seem to know what to do, so he moved on to another exercise.
During the second exercise, when I surprised him with thinking outside the box, he seemed confused
