Client reviews about Heather’s COUPLES COUNSELING – WORDS FROM MEN:

Heather, thank you so much for seeing me on Friday. I greatly appreciate you fitting me in and your help. I am very blessed to have found you. Your techniques and insights are incredibly helpful. As you requested, below are some of the things I learned so far and some new ideas for living my life in a healthy way.
I have learned so much in our short time together but here are some of the key points. My lack of emotional intelligence is generally from my up bringing and my rolls in my family as the hero and the misfit (acting out). Not experiencing all the rolls hurt my emotional development. Of course having a punching bag when I was little taught me that the only way to get satisfaction when I’m upset or angry is to act them out physically. Growing up I was never taught to communicate my emotions and feel that my problems are directly caused by my lack of EQ. I feel that it’s necessary to focus on developing this to live a healthy life.

Heather, I wanted to say thank you. I did really, exactly, what we discussed when I got home last night with really great results. It was a long discussion and very emotional but little arguing at all and a lot of honesty and, by the end of it, I had my wife back and we are great today. So thank you. It’s nice to know that you know us so well and the situation that what you’re suggesting, when done correctly, works so well so, again, thank you.

This weekend would not have been possible without the confidence, grace, kindness and love you have worked so hard to grasp in your life. I am so grateful for your guidance and strength. I am now ready to pull up anchor and let my ship sail. I have been set free of the pain that was causing me to self medicate. I look forward to your continued guidance. I will let my spirit sail confidently. I can’t wait to continue the journey.

Heather, for me personally, as a man, I cannot even begin to tell you the joy I felt in my heart to have you affirm, and communicate to (my wife) in a way that I never could, what men truly need and want from a woman. Furthermore, you also provided me with better insight and understanding of her complexities and what she needs from me both as a man and a husband.
I’m really looking forward to our next session. Thanks again!

Client reviews about Heather’s COUPLES COUNSELING – WORDS FROM WOMEN:

I just wanted to Thank you!!!!
After our last hard session with you it was a game changer.
We are back to where we were when we first dated. It’s amazing!
I really appreciate everything you did for us and will definitely be back for a refresh down the road.

Just wanted to let you know I talked to my husband and he was very accepting of what I had to say. He even thanked me!! Even the change in my attitude and how I spoke to him was like a breath of fresh air to him. I think he believes in me and I feel like there’s so much more hope now and he may even have some too!!
Not one negative word came out of his mouth and he didn’t disagree with me about us eventually getting back together so long as I stay focused on what I learned today and continue to go to you to learn more about what I need for myself and for him as a wife. I’m so excited and so determined now, thank you so much for giving me hope again! You may have just started saving my marriage and my family!!!
Thank you, thank you!!!

I am so grateful for what you have been able to bring us through. Your ability is invaluable and I can not find words good enough to describe what your help, insight and guidance have meant to my life and heart. His caring about our relationship enough to seek out your help and get us through the storms will be forever admired by me. And I only mention him because, without his guidance and direction to meet with you, we wouldn’t be together today. Not due to lack of love or exceptional potential. We wouldn’t be together because we didn’t have the knowledge, skills and tools… and how sad and what a waste that would be. Anyway, thanks so much for being exceptionally great and passionate about your profession.

Thank you so much for our lengthy yet productive session. We were blown away by your extreme insight into us as both as a married couple and as individuals. We ended up having dinner after we left your office last night, just the two of us. At dinner I felt the overall mood between us to be one of relief and optimism. We know we have a lot of work ahead of us. However, we both feel that with your insight, knowledge and wisdom you will be able to provide us with the tools with which to heal our marriage and ourselves.

Client Reviews about Heather’s INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING:

Thank you for helping me through the darkest times in my life and equipping me with the tools to be successful. Just wanted to let you know you have helped me more than you know.

Thank you for your time today and your wisdom and clarity. I truly believe that you are one of the smartest, wisest and most in tune people that I have ever come across. I truly appreciate you and the help that you have provided me. Furthermore, I appreciate that you truly care, I don’t know of any counselors that check on their clients after hours just to see how they are doing. You truly separate yourself in the brightest of lights from others in your profession. Thank you.

Heather is an amazing woman and an amazing Counselor. What she was able to do while I was a client of hers was nothing short of miraculous. I have recommended her and will do it over and over again. Anyone seeking guidance, support and insight with a hands-on tell-it-like-it is approach from someone who is a cutting edge trailblazer in this area of work should make an appt. with Ms. Carlile.

Hey Heather. Our session was a success. I have a new work attitude and understanding of myself. Not as stressed and I can allow the men to be men while I sit back not stressed and pick my battles. Love it. You’re the best.

I just wanted to thank you for the info you delivered at this year’s NARME conference. As the mom of two (one being a son entering into that tween age) I gleaned so much from your session. I came home and purchased a few of the books you recommended. Your talk also got me thinking about a way to create his identity in our family. SUCCESS! Your information was a blessing to my ears. Thank you
