Gary and Joy Hanson, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Clients regularly share that they appreciate our proactive approach providing solution-focused direction, skilled feedback, and helpful tools built around a counseling/coaching model that will encourage as well as challenge you individually and/or as a couple. We specialize in working with marriages/couples (an approach we call MarriageRenew®) and adult clients dealing with issues of uncertainty, anxiety, depression, grief, lost hope, fear, and a lost sense of direction. We also work with clients as a life coach.
Our commitment is that couples will experience real hope for restoration of lost love, intimacy, and friendship, and that individuals will find a path to restoration and hope for the future. Also, at your request, we welcome the opportunity to integrate a Christian worldview with sound research-based clinical practice.
We encourage you to visit our web site for further information and welcome your call or email with any questions - at no obligation to you. My office is conveniently located at I-694 and Hemlock Ln N in Maple Grove with easy access from throughout the metro and surrounding area.
My advice. Please beware. You are about to put your future in the hands of a highly opinionated person. Gary claims to have a Marriage Renewal Plan but all it involved was taking the Myers Briggs Personality test.Bear in mind, this test is blocked vs. scaled and credible studies have shown that people can get different results each time they take it. Gary will chose a side. Rathger than work together with the couple, he will make judgements based on his extrreme views. In my case, he destroyed the memory of my mom who had just passed and got so excited he hopped off his chair and "got excited" about it.I implore you to ask Gary a Yes or No question. Gary, are you pro-marriage? That's it. You have been advised!!!
