Unfortunately, I would not recommend Stephanie D. McKenzie for couple counseling. I struggled with rather or not to write this review, but I think it's worth telling. My partner wanted to give her a try. So we went to see her 3-4 times over the course of 1-2 years. We didn't see her often for two reasons, she was often unavailable and we both have done a horrible job of following through. Most sessions were just casual talking. There didn't seem to be anything organized before we arrived. Some form of homework was typically given. The sessions were done as a couple... there was one session in which he was sent out of the room and she talked to me for 20 minutes. So I genuinely felt like she didn't get to know me, not her fault at all. We just didn't go enough times. Which brings me to my next point... most recently, my partner wanted us both to go again. He emailed her and she told him... there was no need to bring me that I wasn't open to forgiveness. I was shocked. This really hurt me and I really found this to be quite unprofessional because she did not reach out to me at all. Even if I did give off that vibe... it's just not true. I want forgiveness for myself but I've struggled getting there having been hurt badly in the relationship. Hence why we were there. Never in a million years did I expect to get written off for the very thing I wanted help with. I did reach out to her and her response to me was my "energy" never showed an interest to heal. And she wishes I would heal. And "I'll need to do that". So if you're an imperfect being struggling with unforgiveness... this is not a safe place to heal. I would strongly suggest going elsewhere. Update: For clarification. Stephanie did not reach out to me with opportunities to meet as mentioned below. read more

Unfortunately, I would not recommend Coach Stephanie for marital counseling. I looked at the reviews on yelp and was very excited about the idea of seeing a marriage counselor for me and my fiance. It was our very first experience and I called and talked to Coach Stephanie on the phone she was very friendly and had a good attitude, which made me feel good. We discussed pricing and that I was on a 3 month time frame. Unfortunately, we did not finish the counseling in time do to the part that we got very busy due to the upcoming wedding and also that the fact that it is very hard to schedule and reschedule with her. Also, I feel as if I pay for a service in advance there should be some follow up on the counselor's part, there was none.... I will never pay in advance ever again for counseling at all, lesson learned. Me and my fiance have decided not to return. read more

Originally, we were just seeking pre-marital sessions so that we could get a discount on our marriage license (heh, heh). We ran across Stephanie in our search, and after the first conversation, not only were we excited about the premarital session activities, but we also knew she was "the one" who could help guide us through any rough patches ahead. She has now become invaluable to our continued development as newlyweds, and we greatly appreciate her willingness to do phone sessions when we both couldn't be in town. In a world filled with failed marriages, she is the "real talk", encouragement, and genuine understanding needed to help make love last beyond the ceremony. Thanks Steph- we love ya girl! read more
