NEW! 🌟 Therapist for Teens and Tweens Who Takes Insurance!

We are so excited to share some wonderful news with you.
​
We are thrilled to welcome another brand new therapist to our team, Haley Picking, who will be specializing in working with tweens, teens, and young adults (12+).

Over the years, we have received many requests from our adult clients and from families in the community seeking thoughtful, compassionate, skilled support for their children and young adults.
​
Being a tween, teen, or young adult is not an easy thing in today's world, and having extra support from a trusted confidante to help navigate emotions and experiences in healthy ways can be life-changing (and actually make parenting a whole lot easier too!).
​
Because providers who truly specialize in and love this age group (and can easily build rapport with clients) can be hard to find, we are especially grateful and excited to be able to offer this support now, thanks to Haley.
​
Haley received her M.S.Ed in Mental Health Counseling from Indiana University, and her work is guided by a holistic understanding of mental health.
​
She is available to support tween, teen, and young adult clients with a wide range of mental health challenges and goals, and you can email info@centerthrive.com or call our office at 812-223-7186 to see if she'd be a great match for what you are seeking.
​
Haley accepts insurance and has after-school appointments available, as well as both virtual and in person (in Bloomington, IN).
​
We anticipate Haley’s schedule filling very quickly, so we encourage you to reach out right away if you or someone you love may benefit from working with her.
​
💖 Call 812-223-7186 or email info@centerthrive.com to start the process with Haley or simply learn more!

🎉COMING THIS VALENTINE'S WEEKEND 🎉

If you’d like 2026 to be the year you nurture, strengthen, and grow your love, connection, and relationship, we warmly welcome you to our annual Thrive in Love couples retreat at a beachfront resort near Ft. Lauderdale, FL.🥰

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it, and when it comes to planning special dates or gifts...
..no matter how thoughtful or romantic they may be...
..they often only last an hour, a day, or a week. 🎁

And then it can be so easy to slip right back...
..going through the motions, distracted by life's fullness, feeling disconnected, or stuck in painful and exhausting patterns, misunderstandings, and miscommunication.

That's why we specifically offer our signature couples retreat every Valentine's weekend. ❤️

This special retreat makes it easy for you to spend this Valentine's weekend in a way you know will rejuvenate your love, reignite the spark, and take your relationship to the next level. ✨

Plus, you will get the essential and scientifically-backed roadmap to enjoying a thriving relationship for years to come, giving you all the tools you need to keep it there. 🤗

We can’t wait to see some of you in person this February and are so honored and grateful to get to share what has made all the difference in our own lives ❤️

We've also been deeply touched to receive countless testimonials from couples over the years who mark this retreat as THE turning point in their relationship...

…and we share them here, just because we know what a stretch and leap it might be to do something like this. We hope it will help you see what’s possible for YOU too 🙏

💫 "Revitalizing and eye opening! We were lost together and fighting coming to this retreat. I re-found my best friend!"
~ Jemiah Piesyk

💫 "Out of this world, amazing, and more than what I expected. This one weekend retreat was better than 3+ years of marriage therapy and much more inexpensive and fast-acting. Best value workshop in this world for couples. Christine and Bret are a true gift to us all.”
~ Ajay Ahuja

💫 “Such a blessing. Thank you. It has been years since I have felt this connected to my husband.”
~ Shannon Cooper

💫 “AMAZING & relationship changing! Bret and Christine helped transform our marriage! This was supposed to be a place for us to reconnect, instead it was a place we discovered our true potential for a thriving relationship! Thank you so much.”
~ Kate Miller

**Couples in every stage are so, so warmly welcome. Privacy ensured the entire weekend.**

This past weekend, my heart was overwhelmed with joy feeling into these 12 incredible men who joined Bret for the Center for Thriving Relationship’s first ever men’s Soul-O Retreat in the woods. 🌲✨💗

Looking out the window and getting glimpses of the sacred space they created for one another to deeply commune, far beyond the noise, the busyness, and the illusions of separateness that can so easily keep us disconnected from ourselves, each other, our spiritual source, the wisdom and nourishment of the Earth, and Life itself.

Seeing them embrace one another with such love, togetherness, humility, safety, vulnerability, and an honoring of each man’s unique gifts, wisdom, and strengths was deeply moving. 🙏🥹

This is what I passionately believe the world needs so much more of, and it’s an indescribable delight to witness Bret step back into doing nature-based therapeutic work for men, part of his journey I fell deeply in love with when we first met 23 years ago. It is undoubtedly where his soul thrives and shines. ☀️🌳

And bless these men for being the kind of warriors I admire most, those of the human heart and spirit. I bow to you all and your courageous hearts. 💕

Also, Bret has set the dates for the next Men’s Soul-O Retreat, when temperatures will be deliciously warm again, and the Earth will be dancing in all of its green glory: March 28-29, 2026. 🌱

This one quickly filled with a waitlist soon after he announced it, so if you or a special man in your life could benefit from something like this, registration for March is now open, and you can read below what some of the dear men from this past weekend shared about their experiences in case that helps…

🙏 “This was an OUTSTANDING experience! The openness, vulnerability, and kindness of all of the men there made it miraculous. Being with the land in such a deep way and to unplug so fully gave me an opportunity to hear my inner voice like few other experiences ever have. Your retreat has helped me make connections I have been unable to in my busy life. I was able to hear my heart’s song here. It has been awhile. I am most grateful!”
- Matt Andry

🙏 “Amazing doesn’t even cover! I can’t believe it was only 24 hours and so many things came forth. Returning to Mother Earth and Father Sky made me remember how loved I am. I was finally able to weep for my dad in a way I’ve not been able to my entire life. An armor was unlocked. That is a freedom I didn’t even know was there. I forgave and let go and gave my heart fully to my life. Everything was better than I could have imagined. I’ve never experienced 24 hours like this truly in my entire life. I felt as if I traveled back in time and reconnected with the wisdom of ancestors and sages. I was able to let go, trust, and find forgiveness in my heart for some deep wounds. I feel free in a way I can’t describe other than to say thank you with all my heart. Bret, you continue to deepen my heart and soul in ways that I could never find without you. Love you man!”
- Tim Ballard

🙏 “AMAZING, AWESOME, and, without sounding too corny, I expect to be life-changing. Things need to change, and this was the key to opening the door. If you are a man, this is your opportunity to tap into the wisdom offered by your tribe, brothers and your inner wisdom. Bret is the ultimate guide on this amazing journey.”
- Michael Kessler

🙏 “This was such an insightful and beautiful experience. Our world is so busy with noise and distraction. This Soul-O allowed for unadulterated community and connection with other men. In addition, the alone time in the woods was magical and allowed for tremendous self insight gained in the silence. Thank you for this gift.”
- Karim Abdelkader

🙏 “Amazing. Absolutely wonderful group of men to share a journey with. Truly a life-changing, eye-opening experience to show that, through solitude, we can learn how truly connected we all are.”
- Jason Barnett

Whether it’s where to live, whether or not to have a(nother) kid, what color to paint the living room, or whether or not to get a pet, it can be a painful, gridlocked, and discouraging experience when your spouse shoots down your idea, says “no” to what you really want, advocates for their own conflicting preference without fully hearing yours, or simply doesn’t share in your excitement.

Perhaps it turns into an exhausting power struggle where you invalidate each other’s feelings and get entrenched in your own positions – until one of you finally (and resentfully) gives in.

Or you get stuck in an impasse and throw up your hands in despair.

It can also feel confusing and bring up questions about your relationship:
Does this mean we aren’t compatible? Will I ever get what I want? Am I sacrificing too much? Would I be happier with somebody else or on my own? Am I losing myself?

Rest assured, you aren’t alone whatsoever.

You are always warmly welcome to sign up for a compassionate and completely confidential FREE 20-minute consultation to explore what’s possible in your relationship. Simply comment or DM us the word “SUPPORT,” and we’ll DM you the scheduling link. 💜

I remember when one of our own relationship mentors, Gay Hendricks, talked about how drama is like "relationship crack," as we get a big shot of highly addictive adrenaline when we create it.

However, as alluring as drama (which may look like blame, criticism, wanting to be "right," manipulation, being passive aggressive, being stubborn, defensiveness, playing the victim, making our partner "wrong," shaming, etc.) may be in the moment...
..of course...
..it only backfires and leads to feeling worse...
..which can then lead to us creating EVEN MORE drama to momentarily feel better...
..leading to a very painful cycle.

Instead, the invitation we all have is to create a new baseline for peace, ease, and calm in our connection.

Big cheers to that! 💕🥰

Wanting mutuality is beautiful and important.

However, score keeping gets tricky really quickly.

Why?

We tend to miss so many of the things our partner actually IS doing...
..because we compare the specific things we are doing to what they are not doing.

However, in the process, there are likely ways they are contributing to the relationship that you we not.

And perhaps they are qualitative contributions (rather than quantitative) things that simply can't be measured, like...

acceptance

love

trust

support

encouragement

patience

understanding
..and on and on.

This is simply some loving encouragement to remember:

In romantic relationships, looking to "win" usually ends in both people, ultimately, losing. 💕

Sending much love and support as you reconnect to the TEAM you are capable of being.
If you fall into the trap of keeping score and holding back until your partner does more,

Just a loving little reminder...
..you two may have different processing speeds...
..and different ways of externally or internally processing things.

Learning more about each other's communication styles can make such a difference 💕

And if you ever need ANY kind of support with your communication, we got you - 100000%.

Know a friend with an anniversary coming up? Tag them below 💕✨

It's wedding season right now in many parts of the world, which means it's also anniversary season!
​
Therefore, we thought now was the perfect moment to chime in with a little inspiration to do something on or around your special day to mark it with intention.
​
Because of how all of our human minds are naturally wired...
​..we can easily miss the beautiful aspects of life...
​..unless we pause to actually recognize and celebrate them.
​
Or we can end up in an unfulfilling relationship...
​..unless we take the time to get clear about the kind of life we want to intentionally co-create together.
​
That's why these 💗6 Ideas to Make Your Anniversary Special 💗 include opportunities to do both of those things:

reflect and celebrate

and get excited for what's to come. 🎉
​
We hope they get you thinking about how you can turn up the volume of love, connection, and intention on your special day -- whenever that may be.
​
✨✨✨

Anniversaries can also be a powerful time to commit and recommit to one another and to the kind of relationship you want to have. Ready to take it to thriving? We've soooo got you!

There are exceptions to this, of course. 💕

And being open to our beloved's feedback is also sooo very important.

However, receiving constant unsolicited feedback from our partner is often a passion killer and a resentment builder.

Oftentimes, there are multiple pathways to reaching the same goal...
..and, by allowing each other to stay true to our unique ways...
..we get to ensure we don't lose ourselves in the relationship...
..or create distance and disconnection just to try and preserve our autonomy.

And, instead, we get to maintain true, genuine closeness...
..where we can be ourselves AND be together. 🥰

This is just a little loving reminder: save your feedback for the things that matter the very, very most...
..they will then be able to hear those best of all.

Sending much love and support -- always!
