About Jamie Daniel-Farrell
I’m happy you’re here because today is the day things start to get better.
Undoubtedly there are times in one’s life that can feel too big to handle, such as:
Becoming so out of touch with yourself that you lose a direction in your life that makes you happy.
A relationship that’s become so disconnected, leaving both of you lost in the dark unable to find a way back to each other.
A marriage whose time has painfully come to an end.
Life transitions that sometimes bring unwelcome change.
The loss of a loved one, or a beloved pet.
Past hurts that continue to keep you from a happy future.
I’ve helped many people just like you:
Rediscover your dreams, empowering you to set a new direction for your life.
Rekindle a loving, close relationship, made stronger by your challenges.
Learn to navigate life’s challenges from a place of strength and faith.
Process through grief in your unique way.
Heal old wounds and realize a healthy, prospering life.
Why I Chose to Specialize in Couples Counseling and Divorce Recovery
COUPLES COUNSELING
My specialty and passion are in the work of helping couples heal themselves, and in turn their relationships. Once couples understand that most of their struggles didn’t originate in their relationship, but instead are born from past experiences in childhood that they unconsciously bring into it, they begin to look at their relationship challenges in a whole new light.
Most couples want to feel seen, heard and understood by their partner. It’s often the unmet wants and needs from childhood that when replayed in a relationship, trigger you causing deep emotional pain.
I utilize a blend of Gottman method and Imago Relationship Therapy to help you and your spouse create a conscious and connected partnership.
DIVORCE RECOVERY
When a relationship painfully comes to an end, I’m here to help heal the hearts and lives of those of you who are experiencing the end of your marriage or relationship. If this is you, you are in good hands.
I provide a safe, warm space and a healing community that have helped many people like you to move through this difficult time and on to live happier and more fulfilled lives. Painful experiences often lead to incredible personal growth. It’s my privilege to help and support you through the transition.
