After enduring a tumultuous marriage for more than two decades, I find myself navigating life as a divorced woman and striving to discover my true identity. Thanks to the invaluable assistance of Dr. Carla, I have managed to identify the obstacles impeding my progress, establish feasible objectives, and receive unparalleled guidance that surpasses the advice of any therapist I have consulted in my 57 years of existence! Each appointment with Dr. Carla is utilized to its fullest potential, as every moment is dedicated to achieving my set goals. Without a doubt, the fee for her services is well worth it!

Despite never having sought the guidance of a personal counselor before, I hesitated to take the first step towards seeking help during a time of great upheaval in my life. Fortunately, I conducted extensive research to find someone suitable and was able to connect with Dr. Carla. From the outset, her comforting demeanor put me at ease as we delved into the sources of pain in my life. Her guidance has been invaluable in helping me navigate the emotionally tumultuous time of rejection. Drawing on her extensive knowledge of the Scriptures, Dr. Carla provides wisdom grounded in Biblical truth that has been of immeasurable help as I continue to progress in my healing journey. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of professional counseling; she has truly been a Godsend to me.

For more than 3 months, my partner and I have undergone couples counseling with Dr. Carla, and our encounter with her has been exceedingly beneficial. The strategies she imparted to us have brought a significant improvement to our relationship, and we are excited about the prospects of our future marriage. We wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Carla's approach to working through diverse relationship problems as it fosters individuals' self-awareness rather than relying solely on the therapist's opinions.

While searching for marriage therapy services, I discovered Dr. Carla. What drew me in was her exceptional professionalism and the insightful advice she offered for enhancing our relationship. During our initial consultation, I provided a comprehensive explanation of why my husband and I believed we needed counseling. It's regrettable that we didn't come across her earlier in our marriage, as we are both in our early 30s and have been married for six years. We have gained a lot of knowledge and experience after just a few sessions with her. In fact, my husband and I have never been so communicative as we have been since we started seeing Dr. Carla.

My fiancé and I have recently become engaged and we intend to wed in the coming year. Throughout our relationship, we have discussed the importance of seeking marriage counseling prior to tying the knot. Our search for a qualified counselor who is Christian, experienced, and professional led us to ask for divine guidance from God, which led us to Carla. During our initial counseling session, Carla proved to be an attentive and helpful guide. We feel confident that our future sessions with her will be equally beneficial. We highly recommend that anyone in search of a skilled and compassionate marriage counselor consider working with Dr. Carla McGowan. She is truly an exceptional individual.
