Nancy Provides Phenomenal Marriage/Relationship Counseling through SYMBIS+

My wife and I took the SYMBIS+ assessment and received counseling from Nancy as a newly married couple looking to gain better insight into our individual character/personality traits and how as a couple we can utilize our strengths and develop our weaknesses to better nurture our relationship. Nancy was very professional, and the SYMBIS+ gave us insights into our own personalities we had never even considered. Some of her insights and guidance through her professional experience augmented with her personal observations were fantastic. My wife and I now have much better awareness on subjects we may struggle on, as well as knowledge on how we can compliment each other and use our strengths together!

Amazing Ceremony

We used Phelps Counseling, Consulting & Training for premarital counseling and to officiate our wedding. Nancy was very thorough, prompt and professional. She really went above and beyond at our rehearsal and our wedding. She personalized our ceremony and kept us on our time schedule. She made us feel important and she added touches to the ceremony that she learned during the counseling. I am very glad we did the counseling and let her get to know us so she could personalize the ceremony. I would recommend Phelps Counseling, Consulting & Training to anyone getting married.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
