I Rescue Relationships

Hi, I'm Michelle Aycock 

Even though we haven't worked together yet, I bet I know a few things about you.... ⬇️

  • You're feeling like you have lost control of your life and identity, not knowing the right decision to make.  You struggle with creating goals for yourself and/or your relationship which leaves you feeling worthless.  You want to enjoy your life but are feeling you don't know what to do because you feel like you have tried everything, but nothing is working.   


  • You're feeling an overwhelming sense of frustration as hurtful words are exchanged weekly and sometimes daily, realizing that despite your efforts to communicate, you both are stuck in a cycle of misunderstanding and pain.  Feeling hopeless only amplifies your feelings of resentment and despair. 


  • Your thinking about divorce or separation, and you feel an intense fear and anxiety.  Worrying about losing not only the relationship/marriage but also your sense of identity and stability, leading you to sleepless nights filled with what-ifs and regrets.


  • You want to end the relationship, but feel confusion and doubt about the future. Doubts about whether to fight for the love you once shared or to walk away.  Your thoughts are creating emotional turmoil inside of you, leaving you feeling paralyzed and uncertain.


  • You're feeling intense anger, even though at the same time you also feel very sad. Despite all the fighting, you feel a desire for connection and affection. You realize what once brought you joy no longer does and has turned into conflict.  You feel grief over the loss of the love and connection you once felt for your partner.

Your Not Alone.....There's A Better Way!  


You Deserve A Better Life!💃🏼


Don't let relationship conflicts, anxiety or depression destroy your life.  I can help you get your life and relationship back on track.


Sometimes in a person's life they need to turn to someone for help with their problems, or to help them learn how to cope with their problems.  Most couples and individuals come to therapy because some part of their life is less than satisfying.  I have over 27 years of experience working with couples who are having problems talking with each other or are not getting along.  I also work with individuals (men/women) who are experiencing depression,  anxiety, or who are not satisfied with their life.  My role is to help you determine what is important in your life and help you create it.  I assess your relationship or life, identify the problems and together we develop a plan to help improve your relationship and/or life. 



You deserve the very best and that is what you will get, the very best in professional therapy and coaching services.  You cannot put a price on your happiness......it is priceless.   Most people feel better at the end of their first session!   


Let me help you begin to enjoy your life again.  There is no reason to wait.  If you are ready to begin enjoying your life or relationship again... I am here to help you.

COUPLES  COACHING & COUNSELING



YOU CAN HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP YOU WANT.....


Couples Coaching is an Investment in Your Relationship

Marriage therapy is a valuable opportunity for couples to build a healthier and happier relationship.  It certainly can be worth while by providing couples the communication skills and strategies they need to work through conflict and manage their relationship in a healthy way.  Most individuals did not learn healthy communication skills.  This is one subject not taught to us in school!  However, these skills can be learned.  I teach couples how to resolve a conflict, improve their communication and begin to feel an emotional connection again by giving them the essential tools needed to have a happy and healthy relationship.


What You Can Expect From Couples Coaching

In our initial couples session, I will ask a lot of questions to gather information regarding the problems in your  marriage or relationship, so that I may provide an accurate assessment of your relationship situation.  I am looking for symptoms, similar to what a physical/medical doctor would do to find out where the infection is and what what is causing it.  In gathering this information I am able to begin a treatment plan for your relationship. Being honest about the problems in your relationship is important, no matter what the issues are we must talk bout them.  Within a relationship, it is not one person's fault that there are problems.  A relationship requires two, so I can assure you that both of you, at one time or another, contributed to the problems within the relationship. Once the problems have been identified, we will then develop a "relationship treatment plan" based on the problems and what you both want to improve in the relationship.  We will then work together to reach those goals.  Ideally both spouses or partners would participate in this process, however I am aware that sometimes one spouse/partner doesn't believe in or want to participate in couples coaching or counseling.   But don't let that stop you from seeking help as you can heal your troubled marriage or relationship even if your partner doesn't believe in coaching or getting outside help.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING


YOU CAN HAVE THE LIFE YOU WANT .....

 

Individual Life Coaching is an Investment in You and your happiness

I have been helping individuals for over 25 years, like yourself who want to begin enjoying their life again.  Individual coaching requires work and commitment.  It is a "process",  not a quick fix or "band-aid" for your life.  You did not become miserable with your life overnight.  It is important that an individual be committed to the process and open to thinking and doing things differently. 


What to Expect from Individual Coaching

In our initial evaluation session, I will ask you to discuss the problems and changes in your life that you want to make.  Together we will develop goals based on the changes you want to see happen in your life.  I will help guide you in making those changes.  For you to change the way you feel, you must change the way you think.  Your thoughts and perceptions can determine whether you enjoy your life or not.  I understand that you need help in making these changes, and I am here to help you regain control and begin to enjoy your life again. 

 

I HELP INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING:

•Anxiety

•Depression

  • Marriage Conflict

•Relationship Conflict

•Stress Management

•Unhappiness with Life

•Loss or Grief

•Weight Management

•Eating Disorders

•Postpartum Depression

YOU CAN HAVE THE LIFE OR RELATIONSHIP YOU WANT

WITHOUT HAVING TO LEAVE THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME .... 

All through Phone or Video Coaching



I offer teletherapy sessions through a secure online therapy portal.   This type of coaching can be a good fit for people who want to remain healthy and safe due to COVID-19, are unable to access coaching or counseling services, or may be more comfortable communicating through video or phone from the comfort of your home.   Others may find online coaching is also more accessible when they need support the most or at on an emergency basis.   People who are new to coaching or counseling may find it easier to utilize online sessions if they have busy schedules, are traveling or live in a remote location.  Another benefit is that online sessions take place in the privacy of your home.   Whether you are in need of individual or marriage/relationship coaching can work for you. 


**Studies indicate that online coaching or counseling may be as effective as in-person coaching or counseling sessions, especially coaches or counselors who practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) which is the main coaching and counseling theory I practice.   

For more information on this research click on this link - Does Online Coaching or Counseling Work?


*Online coaching or counseling is not recommended for individuals who are suicidal or have homicidal thoughts and individuals who are experiencing severe depression, bipolar,  or schizophrenia.  Individuals with these issues need more intensive face to face counseling.  


For coaching video sessions you will need:

•A computer or tablet with a microphone and a camera

•Secure internet connection (not public Wi-Fi due to privacy and confidentiality)

•Chrome is the preferred browser

•Drivers License or State issued ID (if you are a new client) 

      

  *Once you have filled out and returned the initial evaluation paperwork,  you will be sent an

email  link to my secure online therapy room for your  video session.

ABOUT ME

I have over 27 years of experience working with couples and individuals like yourself who are unhappy with their life or relationship and are ready to make the necessary changes to begin enjoying  their life again.  I teach couples how to get what they want from each other, and how to improve their communication.  I also provide therapy to individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety,  loss or grief, physical/sexual abuse, or those who are just unhappy with their life and want to feel in control again.  


I choose to only work with adults - specializing in couples and individual coaching and counseling, so you can feel comfortable and confident in knowing that you are truly getting the best in professional therapy services.  Whether you are wanting to make your relationship better or begin enjoying your life again,  you can feel confident in my ability to help guide you.


I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally- focused therapy (EFT) and solution-focused brief therapy.   These theories are based on the premise that individuals or couples must have concrete goals and work toward those goals.  The individual must first look at life differently to help control how they feel.  Once you can control your thoughts (which manage your emotions), you can then reduce the amount of pain you feel and regain control of your life.  You do not have to continue feeling responsible for other's thoughts, feelings or behaviors.  The goal is to be free from these negative thoughts/beliefs which can contribute to your pain and conflict.  The goals for couples is to be able to communicate and work through problems without feeling the resentment and pain, once again beginning to love ;and accept the other for who they are. 



I provide a private, professional and comfortable office.  I understand the importance of comfort and confidentiality when it comes to discussing your feelings or problems which may cause you so much unhappiness in your life.
