The Wellness Counseling Center - Charlotte, North Carolina

My partner and I are so thankful for Sarah and her guidance while at the Wellness Counseling Center. We met Sarah during the middle of the pandemic, about 3.5 years into our relationship. Sarah helped us to uncover some of the root causes of our "distance" and showed us ways in which we can become closer. With a lot of self discovery throughout the therapy, my partner and I have been able to communicate in a much more effective way. We are now able to take a moment to see where one other is coming from and work through it. We often say "wait a minute, what would Sarah suggest right now", which helps us a lot to communicate. We feel much closer now than when we went into therapy. And for me personally I have grown out of the therapy "stigma" and have decided to pursue my own individual therapy. We cannot recommend Sarah enough, especially for anyone who is nervous to take this important step. She made me feel so comfortable and heard every single session. She is a true light and always has the best energy- so important during these times. I am so thankful for Sarah!

My partner and I had the extreme fortune to connect with Courtney Costa at Wellness Counseling! Like many, we came to Courtney at the end of our rope. We knew that we did not have the ability to heal on our own. In fact, we weren't even sure if we could survive and thought counseling may be a way for us to exit the relationship safely. But that all changed! Courtney has been so perceptive and insightful. She has deftly guided us to a place where we can see beyond the injuries we have caused to one another. With her help, we have each been able really hear and understand each others perspective. She has also helped us to really understand the narratives we have each built around ourselves and our partner. Once we began to understand, we were able to reach across to each to provide the support we need as a couple! A year later, I am so happy to say that our relationship is stronger than it has ever been in our seven years together, and we both have such optimism for the future!! My partner and I are so grateful for Courtney and the Wellness Counseling Center. In fact, I cannot recommend Courtney Costa enough. If you are on the fence about starting couples counseling or which Therapist to see, I urge you to just make the leap! You will be in the very best hands here!

We had been in couples therapy for the past 4 months and we felt like we continued to stay in this stagnant cycle. We were left with few options and seemed to be at the end of our rope — one of the options given was a Couples Retreat. Now we were not given any specific recommendations but rather left to discover what we could from the internet. There were many other yoga retreats and couples “getaways” that claimed to be a therapy retreat , but we had found a select few that actually seemed to offer a therapy intensive like we were looking for. That is how we found Dr. Hancock. With Dr. Hancock, there was a noticeable difference in how she interacts with us and how she was able to cut through the BS and effectively pinpoint traits in ourselves. After this intensive with this EFT method, both my partner and I had breakthroughs that allowed us to be more open and real with one another as well as ourselves that we didn’t think were possible. We started to not only better understand ourselves but our relationship. Anne was able to guide us to open up but also address hard questions/most importantly our emotions. We felt incredibly heard and understood not only by Anne but by one another. I felt that we had walked into this retreat with a puzzle that had half of the pieces flipped over leaving it impossible to solve or understand how to even begin solving it. After this weekend, I feel that we were able to flip all of the pieces over and begin to actually put them together in a cohesive and productive manner. This intensive was able to connect us again after a long period of feeling more disconnected than ever before. Most of the intensives we found may seemed incredibly expensive and that may stop a lot of people (it nearly did for us), however after the first day I was able to tell that it was worth every cent with Anne. Thank you Anne, we walked into this 2.5 day intensive not knowing what to expect however it was in fact life altering in the best way and we are so grateful.

We cannot recommend Sarah enough! The entire approach to counseling was refreshing and gave us hope from day one. The program is effective at getting to the root of issues, but it was truly Sarah's ability to pick up on "little things" we were overlooking that were causing bigger stressors that made the difference. Diving deeper into those with her careful and thoughtful guidance has brought us to a closer and profoundly positive place as a couple.
