Hey Liz, it’s been way too long since I checked in. I hope you’re doing well! K and I are celebrating 17 years of marriage today, and I’ve been feeling especially grateful. This past year has honestly been one of our very best, and we’re doing so good. You played such a huge role in helping us get here, and I just wanted you to know how much that means to me. Our family is thriving, and I’ll always appreciate the impact you had on us.
Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. K and I continue to use the practices that we have learned from you as we try again and again to reconnect and repair.
I was just driving and listening to your podcast! I totally love them!
Thank you. I think our story would have been very different without your help.
Hey Liz, I just wanted to give you a quick update that A and I had a conversation last night and it actually went really well. It was the first real discussion we’ve had about serious issues that ended peacefully and with a hug.
I felt like A really listened and responded empathetically. I don’t think this would have happened without your counseling. So I really appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into us.
I see things moving forward in a positive direction for us.
Thank you!!
Always compassionate and professional therapy.
Thank you for helping my partner feel so comfortable, knowing he was very skeptical going into marriage therapy, I can’t thank you enough.
Dr Liz a real professional and compassionate. She see things clearly and corrects kindly when needed. Very perceptive. Highly recommend!
Liz is great! She listens and gets us to open up and talk and hear each other.
Overall a completely different experience than what I had expected (in the very BEST sense). Thanks so much. However, I’m now left wanting to learn so much more about many more aspects. Thank you very much!
Dr. Liz Hale uses research-based methodology such as the Gottman Method. What sets Dr Liz apart from other marriage therapist are extended sessions and her 35 years of working with couples. Whether you need marriage therapy or family counseling, she focuses on real results and clear progress.
Yes. Many people come alone at first. Individual therapy can help you understand your feelings, reactions, and needs before working together as a couple.
Pro-marriage therapy focuses on helping couples stay together when it is healthy and possible. The goal is to create safety, understanding, and healing before considering separation.
The sessions with Dr. Liz typically last between 2 to 4 hours, allowing couples the time and space they need to fully engage, talk about their concerns, and gain meaningful value from each session. Many couples who come in from out of town find extended sessions highly valuable.
Healthy relationships take effort, but no one has to do it alone. Dr. Hale is here to help couples learn skills that make their connection stronger and more rewarding. Couples who begin with marriage therapy often find new hope and understanding. You can call to set up your first appointment and take the next step toward a calmer and happier relationship.
