Me and my partner started seeing Sarah a couple months ago and she has been extremely helpful. She helped us open up to each other to a level that we weren't able to achieve for years, we felt very safe when talking with her, and appreciate her guiding us through a journey of self-discovery and understanding each other at a deeper level. We spent a couple sessions addressing some long standing issues in our relationship and were able to get to the root cause and become more vulnerable with each other. We also did the premarital program, it was very helpful for us to get on the same page with many

My partner and I had the extreme fortune to connect with Courtney Costa at Wellness Counseling! Like many, we came to Courtney at the end of our rope. We knew that we did not have the ability to heal on our own. In fact, we weren't even sure if we could survive and thought counseling may be a way for us to exit the relationship safely. But that all changed! Courtney has been so perceptive and insightful. She has deftly guided us to a place where we can see beyond the injuries we have caused to one another. With her help, we have each been able really hear and understand each others perspective

My partner and I are so thankful for Sarah and her guidance while at the Wellness Counseling Center. We met Sarah during the middle of the pandemic, about 3.5 years into our relationship. Sarah helped us to uncover some of the root causes of our "distance" and showed us ways in which we can become closer. With a lot of self discovery throughout the therapy, my partner and I have been able to communicate in a much more effective way. We are now able to take a moment to see where one other is coming from and work through it. We often say "wait a minute, what would Sarah suggest right now", which

We had been in couples therapy for the past 4 months and we felt like we continued to stay in this stagnant cycle. We were left with few options and seemed to be at the end of our rope — one of the options given was a Couples Retreat. Now we were not given any specific recommendations but rather left to discover what we could from the internet. There were many other yoga retreats and couples “getaways” that claimed to be a therapy retreat , but we had found a select few that actually seemed to offer a therapy intensive like we were looking for. That is how we found Dr. Hancock. With Dr. Hancock

We cannot recommend Sarah enough! The entire approach to counseling was refreshing and gave us hope from day one. The program is effective at getting to the root of issues, but it was truly Sarah's ability to pick up on "little things" we were overlooking that were causing bigger stressors that made the difference. Diving deeper into those with her careful and thoughtful guidance has brought us to a closer and profoundly positive place as a couple.

I have been seeing Sheila Mull at The Wellness Counseling Center for about a year and a half now. When I first started my counseling sessions I was at the lowest point I had ever been in my life. I was dealing with some really difficult issues and wasn't sure where to go or what to do. She could not have been more compassionate and kind to me. Through a lot of hard work and her incredible guidance I have made an immense amount of progress; so much so that at this point I have "graduated" from counseling. I cannot express my deep gratitude for Sheila and The Wellness Counseling Center. I am now

From my daily gratitude journal:
"Today I am grateful for couples counseling. My wife and I rarely fight, but when we do, we found ourselves in a toxic pattern where neither one of us was willing to give any ground. About a year ago we decided to go to couples counseling and we discovered that we really enjoy it. Our communication patterns have improved immensely, and we have learned more about ourselves and each other in the process. We continue to go to counseling sessions even when we do not have an issue to discuss, it’s become more of an exploratory adventure. I feel it was a solid investment

Beth McCain has been our therapist for the last year. Without Beth, we would not have been able to repair our marriage of 20 years. She is a true gem. Thoughtful, smart, and experienced, she will compassionately guide you in restoring your relationship. Beth is one of only eight ICEEFT certified EFT therapists in the Charlotte area, so a rare gem as well. Many therapists list EFT in their bios, but are not certified in EFT therapy. EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) has been shown to be the best approach for couple's therapy. Before selecting Beth, we screened 17 therapists (no exaggeration) in
