From a married couple, working together in their business.
Length in counseling: Intensive for 6 months. Weekly for 3 months. Now monthly.

"Looking back we realize now that our marriage was on the brink of ending for good. One of us was extremely unhappy and the other didn’t see it. I could now write a book on the issues and problems that took us down that awful and sad path. At the end of the proverbial “line”, and right before our marriage imploded for good, we had only one choice left. We could give up and walk away, only to repeat our “dance” in other future relationships, or we could do the more difficult thing, fight for our marriage and stop our destructive cycle.

"Finding the right help would be paramount if we were to succeed - because we had one last shot at this. We needed a coach to help us through the hard times and to help us to identify that there were still good parts of our relationship left to nurture. Personally, I needed to know that I wasn’t alone…that every other relationship out there wasn’t as perfect as I thought it was. I (we) learned that marriage is hard work…and repairing a disconnected marriage is even harder. I must say, for the edification of the people reading this, that Dr. Tim Evans and Geri Carter run a “no BS” practice. There are no “shortcuts” and there is no magic pill. However, if you are prepared to grow as a person and are courageous enough to do the hard work to make your marriage (and all your relationships) better then I encourage you to take the first easy step in this process…spending an hour with one of them. You may be surprised where it takes you…and how much better you will feel about what lies ahead.

"Tim and Geri asked me to write what you are reading at the moment. I thought long and hard about the words I have used because for these words to be successful they have to call you to take action. There is a common saying; “If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten”. The fact that you are reading this means you are unhappy with something in your life, and likely that is a close relationship you have (or don’t have). Tim and Geri will help you see things differently. They will teach you things that will challenge your past view of your marriage, your relationships, and yourself. You will begin a journey that will never end…but it is worth every step along the way. It saved our marriage and made it better and stronger – it can do the same for yours too if you have the courage to try."

 Medical Professional, Private Practice:

I always felt I had very good control of my life. I felt that there was never a situation that I could not handle or control. I spent numerous years in school, and always excelled. I personally thought real life would be similar, and I would again excel. I was wrong. I had numerous personal problems that almost destroyed me physically and mentally. I came to the conclusion that I needed professional help in order to survive. I was blessed to have the opportunity to meet Dr. Evans and Geri Carter. They are probably the reason I'm here and able to write this testimonial. I strongly believe that everyone will run into struggles in life; relationships, children, work etc. The list goes on. Seeking professional help will not only help you manage these challenges, but it will allow you a fuller, richer and happier existence. Without hesitation, I would recommend Carter and Evans. I believe they are the best in community but also nationally.

 A very thankful client.

From a Single Mother/Grandmother:

"I have known Dr. Tim Evans and Geri Carter for many years.  Their continued support and professionalism has helped me through the toughest parts of my life--my divorce and subsequent problems with my family.  Most importantly, they helped me realize I have choices in my life--with relationships, health and happiness.  I am confident that whenever a situation arises, I can count on their invaluable views."

From an Engineer:

My husband and I have a new relationship thanks to Geri. The tools and philosophy we adopted saved our marriage from negative and contemptuous thinking, actions and ultimately divorce. You can change the way you think and therefore feel – it is true! Take yourself and your marriage to a higher level."

From an International Consultant:

"I was not convinced that my husband and I would be able to mediate this divorce.  Thank you for all your hard work.   It is a sad day and also a day of relief.  I know it is the right decision for me and I’m relieved it is almost over. 

"My neighbor called me today and I strongly encouraged her to seek mediation. She has an appointment with a lawyer for a free consultation.  I warned her that what is said in a free consultation is not necessarily reality.    I gave her your name and number and I think she will call you.   I hope she does. 

"I will encourage others to seek mediation.  It is a far better process. I can at least say I’m not angry and have resolved my feelings for my husband.  I think lawyers only heighten the anger and that is not good for anyone, least the children.

"The children seem fine and are able to talk about “Dad’s place”.

"Your service not only saved us a ton of money but more importantly saved a relationship.  I think my ex-husband and I will be able to move forward and parent with as much peace and cooperation as is possible for us.  I’m sure that would not be true if the lawyers were involved – at least not initially.

"Thank you."
