Pro-Marriage
We take a pro-marriage stance. If you want your relationship to last and you are willing to work, we will be right there with you, always supporting the marriage moving toward optimal functioning. We do understand that sometimes relationships can’t last and we help in those times too. We value and support the entire spectrum of what family means. We welcome all races and faiths and fully support individuals within the LGBTQ community.A little about us:
Dr. Gretchen Lewis-Snyder and Dr. Sonja Benson have known each other since 2009 and have been working together nearly that long, often helping different parts of the same family. We’ve seen how effective it is for families to have their therapists on the same page, working toward the same goals, together. We wanted to take that vision even bigger and create a space where we could help families with whatever they might need in the realm of mental health and eventually in the complementary health areas too. We envision our space as a safe, comforting and supportive place where families’ whole health is nurtured. We are so proud of the group we’ve put together and we believe you will find every one of our providers to be really top notch. We are all excited to work with you!Welcome to Confident Kids and Couples Counseling, therapy for your whole family.
