Beginning 3/20/2020, and until the state shutdown is lifted, all counseling sessions will be conducted online through the service doxy.me or through Optum’s unique site. You will receive a link in your email which will take you into the “waiting room”; when I am finished with the previous session I will open “my office” for you to attend the session – I will attempt to be timely :-).
You can attend the session using a computer or your cell phone.
Payments can be made via Venmo or Cash app; if you do not have my code I can send this to you. If you would rather not use online payment you can wait to pay until we meet in my office .

If you have questions, please email me: erikaanderson@n-courage.online or text me: 717-897-0484 (please identify who you are)

Date Night. Many people get married because they enjoyed the process of dating one another, and yet once married stop going on dates and making time for each other. This site includes ideas to get you thinking about fun things that you could be doing with your partner. Feeling nervous about setting something up because your partner might not enjoy it? Ask him or her to think of three date ideas, then pick one and make the plans! You'll feel more comfortable setting it up because you wont feel nervous that you've chosen something that he or she doesn't enjoy and your partner will enjoy it because it was his or her idea.

Maybe you’ve been married for a year... maybe ten... maybe fifty. Regardless of how long it’s been, there is no one great secret to a happy and lasting marriage.But what I can tell you is this… it takes work. It takes commitment. It takes creativity. It takes patience. Think of your marri...

Here is a resource I've recently added to my website - I thought that you might enjoy as well.

Value Sort. https://www.think2perform.com/our-approach/values/new

It can be beneficial to know what you value in order to orient toward a more meaningful life. Using a value sort helps one to narrow down and focus in on what really matters. Once we know what we value it is helpful to filter our decisions through those values. For example: If I value Autonomy (freedom to make one’s own decisions) then it is natural that I will make decisions to benefit myself and feel irritation when others attempt to decide for me. But if I truly value autonomy, then I will also acknowledge that others must also be allowed this right, otherwise I’m simply self-centered and possibly narcissistic. If I actually value Autonomy, then I must choose not to control others or insist that they do things my way. — What do you value? Are you living into your values or away from them? Did you find yourself with a list of things that you “should” value rather than those values which are truly meaningful to you? Create your list of values and then consider journaling ways in which you are successful in following those values and ways in which you could improve.

Shuffle through the grey deck of cards below by clicking to the left or right of the highlighted card. If a value card fits you well, click the green “add +” button to add a value to the orange deck. The orange cards become your “keep” pile, and the grey cards become your “discard” pile....
