Hi Bree, thanks for this!!! I encourage couples to " watch the movie " of your relationship. And I got to see a great movie!!! You two embraced the Gottman concepts of what makes it work. As I said, you two are a couple!!! I look forward to seeing you again. And thanks for making my day.. yesterday and today!!! Waking up and reading your kind words motivates me in my work. Btw, I hope you enjoy the book. I can't wait to hear your thoughts about it!! ( That was a bid. LOL)

5 STARS hands down. Don’t wait to book. RUNNNN and book a session with John. He has helped my partner and I work on our trust issues.
We pulled an all nighter just talking about everything.
And I’m not exaggerating.
We literally haven’t stopped talking since the session. From the moment we got in the car to the way back home. While taking the dog out. While eating. While laying down.
And it’s literally talking. We have not argued once.
It feels like we are both intrigued to know each other more and why we did certain things or said things to one another.
It really felt like we were getting to know each other again.
It’s an insane feeling. My mouth is so dry from just talking so much. And I’m grateful that Its not due to yelling or outbursts this time. It’s genuinely because we talked since we got out John’s office.
I’ve never talked to anyone for so long ever in my life.
Let alone my partner of 10 YEARS.
The topics were endless and there felt like there was no filter on things.
We have talked NON stop 😂😂😂 hilarious.
Also after booking with John he is so open and nice. We were able to speak to him over the phone after our session for some issues that needed attention between my partner and I and it felt so much better.
He keeps it real. Straight to the point. No picking sides. If you are in the wrong you are in the wrong regardless of gender or background.
If you haven’t booked with John. RUNNNNN TO GET THAT SESSION IN.
You WILL NOT be disappointed.

My girlfriend and I have been working with John for several years now, and I truly can’t say enough good things about him. He has helped us navigate some really difficult moments with patience, understanding, and insight. John creates such a safe and supportive environment where both of us feel heard and respected.
What I appreciate most is that he doesn’t just mediate conversations he actually gives us tools that have strengthened our communication and relationship outside of sessions too. We’ve both grown so much because of the work we’ve done with him.
If you’re looking for a couples counselor who is compassionate, experienced, and genuinely invested in helping relationships heal and grow, I highly recommend John.

Rico, thank you so much for your kind words. I absolutely love seeing you two grow into the couple you are today.
Matthew Slagenweit10 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Matthew has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Mr. John was such a blessing to work with, he helped my fiancée and I realize where our problems were, and gave us plenty of exercises to help us both figure out where we are individually wrong, and helped us build our relationship to be stronger than we were prior.
Within 4 months. My fiancée and I have now planned a wedding, and have found ourselves in a much better position than we were before our counseling.
John basically has said to us “I’m wondering why you guys are still coming here, you both are doing great”, we’re still continuing to visit with him just to keep us grounded, and make sure we’re both practicing to be the best we can for each other.
Side note, I was also someone who was against the idea of counseling prior to this, but since starting, have realized the value, and would 100% recommend it to anyone that may have issues with their significant other that they love / value.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about John, who supported me during a difficult time in my divorce process. From the very first session, John created a warm, welcoming space in his own home, making us feel at ease. He brought a deep, personal understanding to every conversation, and his listening skills were truly exceptional. You can tell he’s not just a professional, but someone whose own life experiences have shaped him into a wise and compassionate guide.
John’s approach was different from any therapist I’ve seen—using the Gottman Method, he guided us through hours of meaningful conversation, giving us practical tools and real hope. Even after sessions ended, he stayed in touch, showing genuine care. While my marriage didn’t survive, I felt truly heard, supported, and understood thanks to his kind, insightful presence.

Hines Hubbard1 reviewiTotal number of Google reviews Hines has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I cannot recommend this provider highly enough. His work in couples therapy reflects stellar service, exceptional techniques, and results that are truly beyond measure. He is remarkably patient, thoughtful, and deeply relatable, creating a space where real progress and meaningful resolution can occur.
What stands out most is his availability and the genuine effort he places on repairing relationships. It is clear that he is fully invested in helping couples navigate even the most difficult challenges with care and expertise.
As legal professional with over 20 years of experience, I have worked alongside countless professionals in high-conflict and emotionally complex situations. I can say without hesitation that his practice and skill exceed anything I have encountered in this field. I only wish I had known of him years ago, as many of my divorce clients could have greatly benefited from his insight and approach.
An exceptional professional and an invaluable resource for couples or individuals seeking real, lasting change.

There are no words to describe how incredible John is. His passion for helping people is second to none. He genuinely cares about helping people improve their relationships and I have no doubt that he saved mine. I’m so deeply grateful for the support he gave to us. He takes really great pictures of sunsets too. I really admire his ability to find good and beauty in everything and is something I’ll forever strive to do myself. If I can learn to do it even 10% as well as him I know that my wife and I will live truly blissful lives.

Ian, thank you so much for your kind words. It's been an incredible experience for me "watching the movie " of you and your wife regain your connection. You two have done the work and it's paid off!!!
