They were Evangelical Christians and wanted to lay a strong foundation for their marriage that would help them stay happily married till “death do us part.” Karen and Jillian came for marriage preparation. As a lesbian couple, they felt great pressure from some family members who did not support their decision. They wanted to do whatever they could to ensure success for their marriage commitment. Karen had been doing infant foster care. As a married couple they wanted to adopt children from foster care. They were highly motivated to participate in pre-marriage education and counseling. Marriage preparation integrates sound relationship education with effective therapeutic interventions that help couples to change negative patterns of interacting into more positive ones. Couples will grow in self-knowledge and self-awareness; strengthen communication and listening skills; learn how to have healthy conflict that actually builds love and enhances marital unity; and participate in facilitated conversations about interpersonal needs, finances, sexual intimacy, hurt and forgiveness, children, marital friendship, and vows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff10d7750339566e9b8a08e/1612039394975-KINTSDAPXL6M9Y25W2RP/anglo+span+couple+%282%29.jpg Couples Counseling - Help for a troubled relationship Matt and Phyllis were an unmarried couple in a long-term relationship. They had been living together for several years. They came to me because Matt recently learned that Phyllis had been unfaithful early in their relationship. Though it was in the past, it caused him great pain. Phyllis wanted to repair the damaged done to his trust in her, and both wanted a better life together. Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

It was impossible for the family to be together without yelling at one another. They loved one another but could not get past how each was hurting the other. Dad’s drinking and Mom’s protecting Dad (not wanting to “poke” the bear) were underlying problems. When these were addressed and Dad went into treatment, the family was in a better place to listen to one another and negotiate how to live at peace with each other. Another family came to see me because Mom and Dad were recently divorced. Mom had primary custody of the children, ages primary school through high school, and wanted to help them through this transition. All families have conflict but not all families are able to manage conflict in a healthy way. There is no shame in seeking help from a skilled professional to help your family name the issues getting in the way of family peace. With guidance, your family can begin the hard work of really listening to one another, from youngest to oldest. You can create new family rules and restore family unity, purpose, and peace. Issues to bring to counseling: Effective communication and problem-solving, family rules, boundaries, family chores, effective parenting, dating, school, friends/peer pressure, pornography, drug and alcohol use and abuse, divorce, blended families, domestic violence, trauma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Family Counseling https://www.fontanacounseling.org/rates daily 0.75 2025-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Rates https://www.fontanacounseling.org/home daily 1.0 2025-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff10d7750339566e9b8a08e/32f82e42-830c-4df7-acfd-890a990baceb/rob+pro+pic.jpg
