“Arlene takes a diplomatic approach in our sessions, that has helped disarm our preconceptions about couple’s therapy. <br /> <br /> She carefully navigate us through our discussions, encouraging us to dig deeper without forcing progress before we’re ready. She also brings creative and engaging exercises to our sessions, to help us better understand each other’s unique experiences, and how they’ve shaped our perspectives. We’re grateful for the growth in our relationship during the past 11 month's that we’ve been working with Arlene. We highly recommend her!”
