My wife and I were at a crossroads when we decided to contact Holding Hope.  It was our first time seeing a couples therapist, and we could not be happier with the decision.  Our therapist, Dana, has been an absolute joy to work with, helping us to organize our emotions, communicate our concerns and fears, argue better, and come together as a team rather than individually trudging through large life events.

Dana is non-judgmental, compassionate, empathic, insightful, and even funny, and she has done wonders for our relationship.  I never thought I would say this, but I actually ENJOY couples therapy, and I would highly recommend, and have, couples therapy to others, especially if they’re lucky enough to have a supportive counselor like Dana.

My husband and I began working with Dana at the height of the pandemic. It was an incredibly trying time for our family. It was also our first time entering couples therapy so we were a bit nervous about the whole process. Needless to say it was the best thing we could have done for our marriage and our family.

Working with Dana has been a blessing. She is insightful, compassionate, supportive, nonjudgemental and just about our favorite person (besides our kid). We have learned so much about how to communicate, how to hear and respond to one another, and even how to argue in a more productive and healthy way. She has been a true light in our lives and we are forever grateful for her professionalism and consistency.

We began weekly couples sessions with Dana in Spring 2021, when we were struggling with a lot of pressures from unemployment, family issues, and deciding whether or not to move away from the city. Dana always greeted us with warmth, understanding, and enthusiasm, and she made sure to validate each of our feelings individually while helping us to understand one another’s perspectives better. With her help, we successfully made it through one of the most stressful chapters of our life together.
