Helping Marriages Thrive…Not Just Survive “We’re more like roommates than husband and wife”. “Our problem is that we can’t communicate”. “I just don’t trust him like I used to”. “I want her to WANT to be with me”. “Our sex life is almost non existent”. Some of these quotes may sound familiar to you. If you are struggling with your relationship, know that it can get BETTER. You CAN improve your relationship. Marriage Counseling can help. You may find yourself easily annoyed by your partner or feel like he/she just doesn’t understand you. Have you stopped dating and wonder what happened to the passion you felt when you first got together? Maybe you feel anger and resentment toward your partner for past hurts that have never been resolved. Or perhaps it has gotten to the point where you have become so dissatisfied with your relationship that you are contemplating divorce. Couples therapy can assist you with: * Sorting out confusing feelings * Improving your communication * Increasing connection and understanding * Improving your sex life * Enjoying being together and apart We would like to help your marriage to THRIVE…Not Just Survive.

We are a group of licensed clinical marriage and family therapists who are committed to providing high quality therapy services for couples, families, individuals and groups. We see many different types of client issues, including but not limited to couples communication, anxiety, depression, anger, family and stepfamily difficulties, and premarital preparation. I have been in full-time private practice for over 10 years. As marriage and family therapists, my staff and I are specially trained to deal with the context between and around clients, in addition to whatever might be going on for them individually. My personal commitment is to provide a safe and welcoming environment in which we can help move clients from where they are struggling and challenged to personal growth, happiness, and greater connection with the ones they love. My relationship with my clients not only includes helping them in the crisis moments, but also being available throughout life for whatever may come up - many return to therapy for "tune-ups" at different points in their lives. I'm honored to be someone they feel safe enough with to return at those times when they need someone to listen. If this sounds like something that might be of help to you, please give us a call at 301-563-9520, or email us at info@laurelfay.com. We look forward to working with you.

Are you frustrated in your interactions with someone close? With tens of thousands of hours of listening to intimate stories of relationships, I help people understand what makes relationships work and what happens when they don’t. I am an educator. If you have a mental health problem or think you need medication, you need to speak with a psychologist or psychiatrist. If you have trouble understanding your spouse, or making yourself understood, or you can’t talk with each other without leading to an argument, that’s where I can help. I teach and explain what each of you does or doesn’t do to contribute to your problems. As your understanding grows, I advise you how to influence what happens between you. Think of me as your personal consultant on how you can influence your relationship. I’m not going to change your personality or treat any disorder. But, if you’re having trouble navigating the jungle of arguments, anger and misunderstandings, I can be your guide to show you the path

“Do you suffer from physical or emotional pain? Have you been told, "Learn to live with it"? I have shown hundreds of clients how to live without it. Experienced in psychotherapy, NLP and hypnotherapy, I mainly use "energy psychology" techniques that balance body energy and eliminate emotional and even physical pain. I am very skilled with phobias (often resolved in one session), stress and anxiety, traumatic memories and PTSD. Grief and mild/moderate depression are gently resolved. And many of my chronic pain patients (back pain, fibromyalgia, etc.) have reduced or eliminated their pain medications. I like best to work "face-to-face", and I work very effectively with clients world-wide by telephone and e-mail. I have my office in the Wilmington/Newark area, and have been known to travel for "house calls." I'm known for my patience and ability to listen, balanced by support (I'm also a trained life coach) and effective action. You'll learn how to use my techniques, whenever you need them.

At SMR Counseling Services, we get your mental health in shape. We work one-on-one with clients acting as "personal mental health trainers" which allows us to respond to the unique needs of each individual. Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential in order to lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for a "personal mental health trainer" to provide extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, we look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Psychotherapy, whether it be for the individual, the couple, or the family can be an invaluable experience. Psychotherapy can mean coming to a better understanding of yourself—becoming an expert on the self. It can mean understanding others around you and understanding your relationship with them. There are a variety of reasons why people find therapy helpful. In addition to therapy's being instrumental in helping people confront depression, general anxieties, and drug and alcohol abuse, psychotherapy can also be a valuable tool in helping people through particularly stressful transition times. Every person, every family undergoes life transitions. Some transitions are more stressful than others, and the intensity of the stress may depend on a confluence of events. For example, for some, the death or illness of a family member may be the stressor for which they seek help. For others, it is a career change or a geographic move. Other transitions that may precipitate the need for therapy include the birth of a child, the dissolution of a marriage, or “simply” the youngest's leaving home. Such life events marshal changes in our lives and create a disequilibrium. To learn skills to understand and hurdle the disequilibrium, psychotherapy can be of immense and lasting value.
