Coaching, Learning, and Growing

Specialty: Coaching for Breakthroughs in
New Behaviors That Empower
Excellent Relationships and Marriages!

• Do you feel uncertain about whether you are moving in a positive direction?
• Would it help to talk through your situation and choices?
• Would it help to have a clear assessment on just what is happening?
• Do you want to gain increased knowledge, skills, and confidence about your relationship or marriage?
• Do you want help with applying qualities of character to your circumstances?

Individual Coaching

For individuals, my role (Susanne Alexander) as your coach is to help you with identifying your strengths, knowing your character, building your skills, developing and carrying out strategies for finding and recognizing a potential mate, or helping you with your relationship interactions. Our mutual goal is your relationship success, and I'm here to help you with moving forward in the process toward marriage or with strengthening your marriage.

"Thank you so very much for your amazing coaching. You were not only a stand for me getting what I wanted, but you possess the extraordinary ability to get inside one's world. I will never forget your diligence and commitment to me. What an experience...For me, you will always have the title 'coach'." ~ With heartfelt appreciation, Michelle Jenkins

Couples Coaching

With pre-marital couples, I will guide you through knowing your characters, assessing your readiness to marry, building key skills for success, and agreeing on your vision and commitments for your marriage together.

After a careful assessment of your relationship or marriage, together we build on your strengths, increase your knowledge, and strengthen your skills and confidence so you are happier and more loving together as a couple. I'm not a therapist, so couples needing help with issues such as addiction, gender orientation, violence, and so on will need to seek help elsewhere.

Some key areas of focus for married couples are: loving words and actions, assessing and fulfilling needs, communication skills, encouraging character qualities in each other, social time, forgiveness, equality, and commitment. I can also assist couples with responding to illness and end of life issues. My coaching is direct, helpful, and compassionate.

For seriously courting couples, a Prepare assessment will help you determine whether you are ready to marry, perhaps before you approach parents for agreement to a potential marriage. The Prepare assessment involves each person answering questions online on their own. Your answers are compiled into a report that I will go through with you in person or over the phone. The report will help us talk about your strengths as a couple, talk through areas for improvement, and do knowledge and skill building activities.

For married couples, I will ask you to participate in an Enrich assessment prior to our first session. My focus is marriage strengthening. If you are dealing with very serious issues, we will discuss you meeting with a therapist instead of with me (see below). You may be able to self-assess your need for counseling by taking the Couple Checkup through PREPARE/ENRICH.

The type of assessment varies somewhat depending on your relationship status and life circumstances. However, it generally covers these areas:

The initial appointment to discuss the assessment can last about 2 hours, in person or over the phone. If needed, we can then set up regular appointments that last approximately 1 hour each (SKYPE and webcam are available if preferred). Each time we meet, we will assess your goals and your progress toward meeting them. There will usually be agreed tasks to carry out between sessions. In between sessions, I might ask you to provide a status report through email. Payment is required at the time of each session via cash, check, or credit card. If there is significant time required from me between sessions, this time will be charged at the same rate.

If you prefer to meet with someone in your own geographic area, or if you require counseling from a therapist, please consider finding one through: www.prepare-enrich.com or www.marriagefriendlytherapists.com. I also maintain a private list of counselors, if you have a special need request.
