We opened our practice in 2009 as a husband and wife team with the goal of providing quality services to couples in a collaborative and accepting environment. Over the years, our practice has expanded to include a group of skilled and compassionate professionals. We've been married for 17 years, have a daughter, and a hyper little Westie named "Rocky."
We know, both personally and professionally, how overwhelming and painful communication and other challenges that emerge in intimate relationships can be. We also know the potential for change, growth, and connection that is possible in working through these challenges with support. Please let us know if you have any questions about how we can provide you with this support.

Services
When we choose to enter into relationship as a couple, we invest ourselves in a union more powerful than either individual. All of our hopes, fears, and deepest desires are held by our new, interconnected identity. When our relationships work, they can provide us with the foundation for an immensely fulfilling life.
Few experiences can be as painful or cut as deeply as the betrayal and trauma of infidelity. As challenging as it may seem, healing is possible. Through our Infidelity Recovery Service, we'll guide you and your partner to greater well-being within yourselves and your relationship.
During your couples sessions, we'll assess your struggles and capabilities together, helping you to learn the skills and techniques you need to foster and re-establish trust, safety, and commitment in your relationship.Your individual sessions will provide you with time to do critical self-work and self-care.

If you or your spouse are considering divorce but are not completely sure that's the best path, you are in a tough spot. And Discernment Counseling is designed for you. It's a chance to slow down, take a breath, and look at your options for your marriage.
Discernment Counseling is a new way of helping couples where one person is "leaning out" of the relationship-and not sure that regular marriage counseling would help-and the other is "leaning in"-that is, interested in rebuilding the marriage.We'll help you decide whether to try to restore your marriage to health, move toward divorce, or take a time out and decide later.

George Bitar and I completed Emotionally Focused Therapy Certification together and have been close friends and colleagues ever since. I have also had the privilege to become close with Faith Drew and Wesley Little through George and EFT training. This group is some of the most well-trained, highly skilled, ethical and relatable couple therapists you will ever come across. If you’re in need of couple therapy or a couples intensive workshop (Art & Science of Love or Hold Me Tight) don’t hesitate to give them a trial.

Natasha is one of the most professional, caring, and thorough therapists that you’ll ever have the pleasure of working with. She is top notch, extremely ethical, and has a passion for her work. She has a ton of trauma-focused, individual therapy experience in addition to couples therapy, so she’s very knowledgeable about a variety of life experience for which people decide to seek therapy.

I trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy with George, and I have worked with him in preparing and presenting a workshop for couples. I have observed his work up close. He is the rare therapist who can combine mastery of theoretical/experimental models with heartfelt presence. I would not hesitate to refer to George or any of the team at Connect Couples. Their training and commitment to continual improvement and growth are the perfect compliment to their compassionate care for their clients.

This group of professionals are not only highly-trained, but are well-known for their work with couples. They are the #1 practice I recommend for couples seeking counseling in Charlotte. George Bitar, Faith Drew, Wesley Little, and I trained together in the Emotionally Focused Therapy certification process. They are valued colleagues and friends. Connect Couples Therapy & Marriage Counseling is a great place for couples looking to transform their relationship.

Dr. Drew was a joy to work with for clinical supervision. She modeled professionalism, warmth and genuineness. During our time working together I always felt valued, cared for and understood. She offered constructive feedback and direction when needed. Dr. Drew was very flexible with my work schedule and always accommodated to meet my needs. I would highly recommend her and her practice to meet your supervision and counseling needs.

I worked with Dr. Drew for several years as my clinical supervisor. As a counselor myself, I can attest to her attest to her skill and proficiency in listening, encouraging, and facilitating growth in many ways. She is always very present with you and has an amazing ability to understand you and help navigate even complicated issues. You are in good hands with Dr. Faith Drew
