What our Clients Have to Say!
“I found Nancy and joined her online divorce recovery group after gathering up an extreme amount of courage to leave my narcissist husband after 26 years of marriage. The work we did in group, added together with my individual therapy sessions with Nancy contributed greatly to the closure and peace I feel now. After many years of being controlled and manipulated, I had absolutely no idea how to relate to well adjusted people or to create boundaries for myself. With Nancy's help, I was able to map out new patterns of thinking that allowed me to overcome poor choices and low self esteem. After becoming strong within, I was able to maintain and thrive in a healthy new relationship. I am now remarried to a thoughtful and loving man and have a completely new and thriving career. I am grateful to have found Nancy and believe that the work I did with her contributed to my current happiness!”—KS (Service: Divorce Recovery)
“When my husband left me and my two young children, I was devastated, I think he was having an affair, but I wasn't sure. That's when I called the Relationship Resolution Center to see if they could help me save my marriage. Nancy helped me get focused, get my life back in order, and gave me tools to fight for my marriage. Within a couple of months, my husband stopped talking about divorce, wanted to end the trial separation, and was spending a lot more time at home. Finally, I feel hopeful, and it looks like it will save my marriage. I'm going to keep doing more of the same because it's really working. I appreciate all your help. Thanks!! We have even added a member to our family!! Welcome baby Leo.”—AW (Service: Individual Counseling for How to Save My Marriage)
“Nancy is AMAZING! I’ve struggled for years whether to leave my husband or not. She is extremely helpful, insightful, and offered incredible information to help me get the clarity I’ve been after. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish I’d called you years ago.”—PQ (Service: Individual Counseling for Not Happy in My Marriage)
“My mother bought me a gift certificate for the Relationship Resolution Center. I was pretty uncomfortable about calling but Nancy was so easy to talk to, and so knowledgeable. After two sessions, I feel so much better. I was devastated when my husband left me for another woman. I recommend Nancy so highly.”— BR (Service: Divorce Recovery Counseling)
“Thoughtful, great insight. Takes the time to listen and offer advice. I look forward to my sessions with her every week.”— KF (Service: Divorce Planning Coaching)
“I was out of hope when I first spoke with Nancy. A month earlier my husband told me he wanted a divorce, packed a bag and went to his brother’s house. I was desperate to save my marriage and learned that I was doing everything wrong. Worse yet, what I was doing was driving him further away from me. Nancy taught me a strategic approach that is working. My husband moved back home a couple of weeks ago and we are in couples counseling now. Nancy’s approach worked. Thank God I found her. She will help you too, I swear!!!!” — AY (Service: Individual Counseling for How to Save My Marriage)
“My wife has been going through a midlife crisis and has been slipping further away from me every day. I demanded that we go to couple’s counseling. Simply put, she said no. I turned to Google for help and found Nancy. We worked together off and on for a few months and I can honestly say, she saved my marriage. Last night my wife thanked me for putting up with her and giving her the space and patience to work through some of her issues. My wife is back to normal and our marriage is thriving again. I can’t thank you Nancy enough for holding my hand and guiding me on such a black road.” —HM (Service: Individual Counseling for Not Happy in My Marriage)

I strongly recommend the Relationship Resolution Center if you are having troubles in your marriage or going through a divorce.” — RP (Service: Individual Counseling for How to Save My Marriage)

Gives you the encouragement and empowerment, that shells for you, strength. Much Appreciation.”—TS (Service: Divorce Recovery Counseling)
“Thank you so much, Nancy. I so grateful to have found you, and I feel like I can trust you, and that with your help I will make it through to the other side.
