Stellar! Saved Us! Search no further. The Hutchinsons have the proper method, period. It takes a miracle to change someone as stubborn and me and help my wife heal from betrayal trauma. They stayed with us at every turn! Best resource if you're truly serious about healing. Ella and Jeff are highly professional.

My husband and I found ourselves at a huge impass and because of some extenuating circumstances we needed help asap. Comfort Christian Counseling made room in their busy schedule to get us in quickly. The intensive was life changing. It preserved our marriage and family, providing both me and my husband with a valuable set of coping strategies and tools to build a new marriage going forward. After the intensive, Jeff and Ella provided weekly follow up calls that helped us stay on course. We also did a six month follow-up which fine tuned the changes we were both making. I also attended a retreat

Before you move forward with a service like this be cautious, this group pitted my wife and I against each other, they broke contract at every turn , they lied multiple times of what they said they would do , not returning calls , giving out wrong numbers , having a person step in for her husband, who isn’t credentialed . Her husband was never in picture. Promised things, lied about what they were capable of and canceled us at 10.56pm at night and following day saying they still wanted to work with us. They took our money and couldn’t deliver. Ella is by far the most unprofessional Therapist

GUYS, STAY AWAY!! They are terrible! They will lure you into a full disclosure and then encourage your wife to threaten and blackmail you with that information! The information I disclosed was used in divorce proceedings as leverage against me for custody of my children and for more money. Confidentiality is a joke. Don't make the same horrible mistake I made!

Without a doubt, these amazing people saved my life and my marriage. The support, guidance and help that we received from the very beginning was truly incredible. They were with us every step of the way and their extensive knowledge and insight, both throughout our intensive and also during counselling sessions, meant that we always felt well informed, emotionally supported and hopeful for our future. Additionally, we have both attended the retreats offered for both wives and husbands and the whole experiences have just blown us away. The wives retreat in October 2016 was one of the most special
