Sadly, most of us muddle through, thinking that no one can really help; that this is just the way things are. Beyond our training and expertise, we are also a couple - Dale and Jeff - who have struggled, grown, and healed in our own relationship and lives. We know, first-hand, that with the right coaching and support, a more vibrant and joyful life is possible.
While it requires focus and persistence, things can get better - a lot better. As important as it is, the best healing does more than simply ease the tensions of daily living. For more lasting change to occur, we need to tackle the deeper realities that drive our world and limit our choices. If we hope to escape life's seemingly endless cycle of anxiety and discontent, we need to recognize and come to grips with these forces.

For each of us, psychotherapy and coaching is a "second" career. Motivated by the enormous healing and growth we each experienced in our individual therapy and couples work, we decided, in the late 1990s, to make counseling and coaching our life work. For us, our work is an affair of the heart. Dale has been a psychotherapist in private practice since 2002.
At Garson Counseling our guiding belief is that "we all make sense." Our troubling feelings and behaviors are not inexplicable and unchangeable facts but are, instead, understandable reactions to life's challenges. We further believe that, when we understand these patterns, we can move through our triggered, uncontrolled responses and assume command of our lives.
The length of time in counseling depends on the nature of the problem and the goals of the counseling. You may have a very specific problem that can be worked through in a set number of sessions. If counseling is an on-going growth and healing experience, it often continues for a longer period. Unfortunately, there are times when one partner is not as willing as the other to come in for counseling.
