“We can’t thank Pat and Heidi enough for their on-going wisdom, support, and insight assisting us to navigate through all of the complexities of our family estrangement. We are now starting to see new possibilities (after many years) reuniting with our son, and this has been invaluable. They have meant so much to us and our family, it has been a gift to have had their understanding and compassion on this difficult journey.”

What people say about us

“I have been blessed to coach with Heidi; her compassion and knowledge have helped me greatly.  I came out of a group that used fear and the misuse of scripture to control its members.  Heidi has offered theological insights and emotional support that has helped me become more grounded and peaceful.”

Cynthia S. – Coaching Client

“I appreciate the opportunity to have been a part of the virtual women’s support group lead by Heidi; it came at just the right time for me.  I learned so much through the various topics covered over the 8-week group sessions.  The interaction with the other members was so valuable and I appreciated Heidi’s insights.”

Katie B. – Support group member

Reviews

“We are deeply grateful to Pat and Heidi in providing essential coaching support and understanding in the complicated and painful estrangement we have experienced with our daughter.  Thank you both for being a huge encouragement during this very difficult season.  Your caring hearts and prayers have meant so much!”

Sally and Jim K. – Coaching Clients

“Pat has been incredibly helpful to me in the sorting through what seemed like an impossible separation with my son.  I am so grateful to once again have a peaceable relationship with my son whom I had thought may have been lost to me forever.”

Butch L. – Coaching Client

"Pat’s helpful insights and knowledge regarding the aberrant Bible-based group my wife and I recently exited has been essential to our ongoing healing.  He was also very helpful in suggesting various resources for our children in their challenges to find recovery from this damaging group. As a client for the past 3 years his ongoing support, compassion and insights have been invaluable in the reconstruction of our lives.”

Sam O. – Coaching Client

“As a licensed clinician of many years, I recently watched an episode of The Duggar Family and was brought back to many painful memories of my own childhood growing up in a very patriarchal family.  I am very thankful Pat was able to not only empathize with my anger, but able to help me unpack the extreme dysfunction and false theology behind what I had believed was acceptable. I am now free to be myself without feeling inappropriate guilt.”
