“Being able to handle conflict and handle it well has been a game changer for us.”

“We’ve learned practical skills that have strengthened our relationship, and are able to understand each other so much better!”

“Laura Prescott’s Marriage Planning & More was a truly great way to prepare for our forever! Laura takes a comprehensive approach to her counseling and the program all while making you feel comfortable and safe. The data-backed SYMBIS personality report was extremely helpful for us to understand our complementary similarities and differences. In addition, we learned valuable tools on effective communication, conflict resolution, money management and more in our premarital counseling. So happy to have these tools in our tool box as we prepare to enter this next stage together”

“The way we handle conflict is vastly different than when we started therapy. Our sessions have made me a better partner, spouse, and friend.”

“Our sessions with Laura are by far the best investment we have made for our marriage. We felt so comfortable and at ease in our video sessions with her—she is so easy to talk to. We were having some communication issues that were resulting in conflict and disagreement. After we completed the Myers-Briggs questions with Laura and reviewed our profiles, we were blown away. We learned so much about each other and ourselves. After each session with Laura, we are always just so amazed at how much we learned and how good we feel! Laura has provided us with valuable tools, resources, and guidance that will help us clearly and respectfully communicate, listen and build each other and our marriage up each day. We are very thankful for her!”

“Honestly we have really enjoyed the virtual format of these sessions. It provided a lot of flexibility and truly felt like we were sitting in the same room. We feel prepared and excited to head into this next season :) Again, thank you for everything! ”

“We can’t thank you enough for the time you spent with us and for your patience as we completed the course. We both have really enjoyed this and learned a lot along the way! I’m so thankful we decided to do it and were able to find you. ”

“I could not recommend Hopeful Outlook Counseling more highly. I have experienced significant growth and healing working with Laura. Laura has helped me work through my anxiety and depression and gain confidence in myself and develop tools that have helped my relationships, my work life, and my spiritual life. So thankful for Hopeful Outlook Counseling.”

“Also, I just wanted to say thank you for everything these last few months! I’m so grateful for this season of counseling with you. You have helped me in so many ways! ”

“Your work changed my life and I am deeply thankful! ”

“ We really appreciate it! We hope to come back for continued sessions with you in the near future! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us so far and the tools you’ve given us to start our marriage on a strong foundation! ”

“Our experience with Laura through preengagement counseling was so beneficial for our relationship. As we have been contemplating stepping into the next stage of engagement then marriage, Laura helped us better understand one another, deepen communication, and gave us helpful tools for conflict. It really felt like she was helping set us up for long term success. I would encourage couples dating seriously to consider going through program. Our love for one another was deepened and solidified through this experience and we hope to continue with her through premarital counseling. ”

“I really appreciate all the time and effort you put in to make my counseling experience excellent. I look forward to using the skills you taught me and overall becoming more hopeful each day! ”

“Thank you so much for all you have done for us. We have learned how to work together, appreciate each other for who we are, and communicate effectively with love.”

“I wanted to thank you for being my resource during a difficult time in my life. You were incredibly kind and generous, and cared very much. It’s not often we find professionals who want to make resources available to people who need them and can’t afford them, and for that, I appreciate you very much. ”

“We want to thank you for the kindness and patience you have shown us through this whole process! We never once felt judged or intimidated by you and we felt comfortable from the first moment we met you all the way through our last session. You are very understanding and we felt comfortable sharing personal aspects of our lives with you in order to help us improve our relationship. ”

“We wanted to say thank you for the last 6 weeks. We appreciate all that you taught us and for caring deeply about improving our relationship.”

“We have improved greatly in the areas of communication and conflict management as a couple. We are more patient with each other and know how to more effectively deal with issues as they arise. We loved learning about our personalities and the ways in which we are different from one another. ”
