Relationship counselors Tim Tedder and Jennifer Gingras are passionate about helping couples experience satisfying connection. They specialize in helping marriages in crisis and can also guide couples that just need a bit of tweaking to get back on track.
Maybe your marriage or relationship just needs a counselor's perspective to encourage it in healthy directions. Maybe it's in trouble. Or perhaps at least one of you is questioning whether they want to stay in the marriage. Whatever your need, Currents Counseling offers professional care and a wealth of experience to couples who want more joy and intimacy, or to those who need help making choices about its future. Choosing a counselor is an important and personal process. That's one reason we offer you a free 15-minute phone consultation with any of our counselors, so you can get a better sense of who they are and how they would help you before you schedule your first appointment. You can schedule either a 50-minute or 75-minute session. We typically recommend that couples set up 75-minute sessions. See the Q&A page for pricing information.

What Clients Say...I thought I would thank you again for helping us get our marriage back on track. I don’t think there is anyone else we could have worked with that [my husband] would have been as responsive and openly emotional with as he was with you. We were destined (divinely, I am sure) to find you... Your counseling was invaluable. —client email My husband, family and I have benefited greatly from Tim's life experience and wisdom. His effectiveness would certainly be lessened without his ability to relate to us through his own life experience. We are so grateful for the journey we are on, and would be in a completely different place... and not a good one... without the guidance we have received from him. —Lori, social media This has been a very difficult year for my husband and I with many issues. However, through it all Tim has been there for us. He has been such a supportive counselor and has shown us just how much he cares about us. His guidance, care, and concern have been beyond what I could have ever hoped for when we started with him. —client post |
Will Couple's Counseling Change Our Relationship?
Counseling can definitely help partners who are stuck in unsatisfying relationship circumstances or patterns, but it is a joint endeavor. Everyone has a part to play in working toward change. Your counselor will help you clarify and work through four aspects of change: what you each WANT, and agreed WAY toward change, the WILL of each partner to take responsibility for change, and the specific WORK required for change to actually happen.
If both partners are in agreement through all four areas, then relationship counseling continues. If there is uncertainty or disagreement along the way, then the focus of counseling may temporarily shift to Individual or Discernment Counseling.

Explanation of "Sacrifice or Separation": Couples who are not able or willing to work cooperatively in all four aspects of change (want, way, will, work) will need to make a choice of sacrifice (remaining together, but giving up expectation for change) or separation (temporarily or permanently). Effective relationship change requires both partners to accept responsibility for their contributions to past patterns and future shifts.
Currents Counseling is passionate about helping couples of any age, gender, faith, race, or sexual orientation.
