“I truly can’t say enough about the experience my wife and I recently had with Dr. Anne Hancock during our 2.5 day intensive. With two small children under the age of 5, my wife and I had lost our connection, we were fighting about the littlest and seemingly irrelevant things and neither of us felt comfortable expressing our opinions. It was like we were both walking on eggshells for most of the day. And this is despite the fact that we had been going to couples therapy for 2-3 years. But, from my perspective, the majority of those sessions felt like an attack on me with my wife pointing out all the things I was doing wrong or not doing at all, despite the fact that I am a very involved, present and loving father to our children and me doing my absolute best to make my wife happy.

We both knew we needed something more substantial if we were going to make our marriage work. So, I reached out to the Wellness Counseling Center…

From our first pre-intensive session with Dr. Hancock, when we simply gave her an overview of what issues we were dealing with, I knew things would be different. I vividly remember my wife starting to poke and prod about some aspect of me and Dr. Hancock stepping in and calmly stating, “this isn’t about fixing your husband. He is 50% of the relationship and you are the other 50%.” From that point on I knew we had come to the right place.

Over the course of our 2.5-day intensive weekend, Dr. Hancock, with her calm, patient, direct and caring demeanor, was able to uncover several foundational issues that existed between my wife and I that stemmed from our childhoods. Through many tears and emotional moments we had rediscovered our bond and connection that had been missing for the past several years and even earlier in our relationship. While it’s been only less than a week since we returned from Charlotte, my wife and I have done a complete 180 degree turn in how we communicate with each other and there is a newfound sense of calmness and understanding between us. As I explained to my wife the first morning we were back home, it is like a dark cloud that had been hanging over us for the past 5+ years had been lifted, which she agreed with too.

I could go on and on about how successful our experience with Dr. Hancock was, but I’ll leave you with this. If you and your spouse feel like you’re at a breaking point, where if something doesn’t drastically change soon you feel like your marriage might fall apart or you’ll just accept living in an unfulfilling partnership, call Dr. Hancock and her staff as soon as possible. While the price may be somewhat steep, I am confident in saying it is worth every penny.”
