Strong relationships are important to a happy and fulfilling life. For those who struggle with the effects of emotional trauma, addiction, mood disorders, or behavioral disorders, connecting with others and building healthy relationships can be difficult. We offer workshops that can help you strengthen your marriage, your family relationships, and your friendships by uncovering and healing hidden emotional pain and learning new skills for communicating with and relating to others.

The Family workshop is designed to assist family members in establishing a supportive and healthy recovery environment by encouraging them to be authentic, communicate productively, utilize boundaries, and function in a healthy fashion.

Love addicts assign too much value, time, and attention to another person while neglecting to care for or value themselves. Love addicts can be addicted to anyone: lover, spouse, friend, parent, or child. It is a painful, obsessive, and addictive process that negatively impacts not only the love addict but also the individuals in their life and relationships. In this workshop, the focus is on enhancing self-love and self-care while instilling a tolerance for feeling.
