Our clients have seen significant improvements in their relationships and personal well-being as a result of our counseling services. Here are just a few testimonials from our satisfied clients:

"Amazing therapist: I have been to many therapists over the years, but it wasn't until I started to see Alice that my life's issues finally began to make sense to me. I ALWAYS walk away from each session with a few gems of wisdom or insight. She's truly brilliant at what she does. Highly recommended."

"She saved our marriage: We were fighting all the time and couldn't talk to each other when we first came to the American Marriage Center. Alice Stephens over a period of time helped us figure out how to communicate without being at each other's throats. She never took sides as I feared she might and my wife and I are very grateful."

"Mrs. Stephens saved our marriage: My husband and I decided that we needed to find a therapist who would listen to us and give us constructive guidelines to address our issues together. After reading the material on Mrs. Stephens website, we gave her a call and set up an appointment. She has given us the tools to communicate more effectively and has brought us closer together."
