Relationship Distress

We believe that your life has been shaped by your unique story of relationships good and bad, joyful and disappointing, healthy and not. God created us to be in a network of healthy, loving relationships, but living in a fallen world with other fallen people can leave us disappointed and wounded, and feeling alone. As marriage and family therapists, we view life and relationships in a systemic way – people are shaped by their complex relational past and even many “personal issues” can be traced to the influence of important relationships. The team at HCCC has been trained in and utilizes a number of nationally-known relationship-building methods such as Prepare-Enrich, Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), The Gottman Method, PREP, Hope-Focused Couples Therapy, Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts (SYMBIS), and How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk (the model is as good as the catchy title). We can also help you develop a healthy and intentional strategy for dating as a teenager or young adult, complete pre-marital counseling or marriage enrichment, navigate parenting challenges, deal with aging parents, or heal the wounds of marital conflict or infidelity.
