Couples Intensive / Marathon Therapy
Core Values Counseling offers couple-to-couple intensives for partners who are in crisis. Sabrina Walters is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Eric Walters is a seasoned Certified Life coach. With their unique experience of having overcome great crisis (including their own healing from an affair and major illness), they bring you hope of healing.
We have protocols for healing, using many methods developed by Dr. John Gottman and others, which help us form fit the sessions to what you need. Prior to committing to work together, you will be asked to provide a great deal of information through interviews, surveys and assessments. It is important to understand that this program will take at least three months to complete and both people must be willing to work on the relationship and make personal changes.
