Hello! My name is Nancy, and as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I often work with couples and their families, guiding them through issues like single parenting, communication, parental alienation, remarriage, and blending families. Whether you’re at “rock bottom” or just feeling stuck, I’ll meet you where you’re at in the process. I also provide Christian counseling for those who desire it.

My name is Mark, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I often provide marriage counseling and pay close attention to the ways that communication breakdowns and patterns impact relationships. As an EMDR therapist I understand the impact of trauma on a relationship. And as an ordained minister, I often help clients incorporate their Christian faith into therapy.

My name is Lorena, and I’m passionate about helping relationships to heal. Issues around communication, trust, and past hurts all can create challenges, but they can be overcome. I enjoy helping couples find not only lasting healing from their past, but practical solutions for their future. In addition, I also specialize in working with spiritual issues and EMDR therapy for trauma.

Hello! I’m Michael. I specialize in marriage and family counseling. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, and addiction, and understand how these issues can impact relationships.

In addition to English, I’m also fluent in Cantonese, and ASL.

Hi! My name is Angela. If you feel like there’s nowhere to turn, I’m here to help. I enjoy using PREPARE/ENRICH, the world’s leading relationship inventory and couples assessment tool. Scientifically validated, it provides a solid program for premarital counseling and couples therapy. I also specialize spiritual issues, and challenges related to parenting, infertility and adoption.

~ We can Do This ~
After counseling at North Woods, we now know how to “fight fair.” Our therapist helped us see the best in each other, and to not get stuck in our old patterns. We actually listen now, and are getting better at not making assumptions. It will still take time to rebuild trust, but I feel like now we have the skills we need to get there.
