 Couples Care Center provides couples with education, structure and activation tools to address presenting surface issues of conflict, communication, finances, etc..  Clients are also equipped with a navigating system that spiritually guides them through healing the soul that has been wounded through family of origin issues, childhood offense and past traumatic experiences.

OUR STORY
For over a decade, Couples Care Center operated under license professional counseling models and methods.  Since 2004, Suzette Humphreys, founder of Couples Care Center, has combined her PHD theological studies, along with her years of experience as a marriage and family counselor, to compare traditional counseling protocols with pastoral counseling and noticed a gap between the two approaches.  In order to narrow the gap, a season was dedicated to prayer and fasting to gain insight and more effective strategies that would assist couples in crisis.  As a result, a program was birthed to reflect that more than needing a therapist, a counseling referee or labels, couples needed a process that will lead them back to each other.  

 Through many successful years, Couples who have benefited from these programs claim “They no longer feel that they are flying blind”.  As these programs became successful, virtual accommodations were made in order to fulfill the demand across state and national lines.  

As a result of 2 decades of Suzette researching psychological data, anecdotal client experiences and biblical principles she developed a program that crossed religious barriers and uses a spiritual lens to penetrate through the superficial and addresses core roots of the total human experience.  

Suzette considers marriage to involve three entities: the husband, the wife and the marriage.  Suzette views “the marriage”, the 3rd entity, as her client.  Her approach brings education, tools and healing to each spouse, and together, the couple are able to heal “the marriage”.  

 God uses these venues, to assist me in establishing clarity and awareness to help clients navigate their conflict more effectively. I am considered a directive counselor, utilizing a straight forward, "shoot from the hip" approach to penetrate through the superficial and address the core of the relationship issue. Whether the relationship is going through marital difficulty, addiction, adultery, divorce, family of origin issues, or spiritual separation, I provide individuals and couples support and direction to face internal issues in order to get resolution in high crisis situations. God has placed within me a passion to bring hope in the face of hopelessness. Because I believe in strengthening what remains, I work with clients to reveal the strong parts of self that are hidden behind the hurt and discouragement. There are not many life experiences that are more painful to people other than the emotional distress of a suffering relationship.
