Please, please save yourself time and heartache and seek out better counseling. I have serious ethical complaints that I made known to my therapist and to the director Tom Barbian and was totally blown off. I nearly lost everything under their care. Unless you want to pray it away and be reminded that as a woman you are second to your husband.......please I beg you go somewhere else.

Very disappointed with the counselor there! My husband has to leave the program half way through due to unexpected job relocation, the counselor got very offended and charged us $700 for it. I don't see any Christian care or concern for my husband at all except the counselor worried about losing his payment.
