Relationship Resource Center

Roz and Howie gave my partner and me the tools we needed to work through some serious problems in our relationship. We each had individual therapy first. When we both felt ready to move into couples therapy, Roz and Howie were a fantastic team. Since they knew us individually, they were able to use their knowledge and experience to help us discover what we needed to work through to get to a good place to move forward in our relationship. We just got engaged and are excited about our future. I am confident we would no longer be together, if not for them.

As a relatively recently married couple, my wife and I found ourselves taxed moving to a new city, trying to carve out new careers, and negotiating some pretty horrible communication patterns concerning our relationship with my parents and siblings. Each feeling fully tapped out by trying (and failing) to negotiate fundamental disagreements, we turned to Dr. Howard Lambert at the Communication Resource Center. We started meeting with Howard weekly and after a few months moved to meeting every three or four weeks. We never felt that we weren't in control of our sessions, regarding both content and scheduling. As two highly educated people with some background in psychology, Howard worked with us at our level without needing to sugarcoat or dumb stuff down. Howard is true to his description as being an eclectic therapist who knows how to communicated effectively with his clients to achieve their goals. One of us had seen therapists previously, while this was the first therapy experience for the other partner; both of us found the sessions to be extremely helpful. We have made lasting positive change in our relationship, how we interact with family, and within ourselves as individuals. We highly recommend Howard and are grateful for the communication tools he's taught us.

I have included just a few of the superlatives that apply to Dr. Lambert from the Relationship Resource Center. As someone who is quite reliant on the logic and "science" behind improving our relationship, I found Dr. Lambert's approach to bridging the relationships gaps between my wife and I to both touch my foundation of logic and "science" AND my wife's more emotional foundation. Dr. Lambert has provided us with a number of tools and exercises that we have begun to incorporate into our relationship that will pay dividends for us in our life TOGETHER. My view of Dr. Lambert is that he is a keen listener that structures his sessions around the nature of the issues with his patients rather than having only one "go to" means of helping. As a new couple that has been focused on having a long and happy life together, I can say with confidence that our time with Dr. Lambert has done nothing but increase our chances of that long, happy relationship TOGETHER!

Howie Lambert has been sensitive to our needs, preferences, and feelings. He has consistently offered helpful guidance, meaningful challenges, and insightful support. After two years working with him, our relationship is on much more solid ground. Our struggles as a couple no longer seem so threatening but rather appear as opportunities for our partnership to grow.

My wife and I have been very Fortunate to have Dr Mary Simon of the Relationship Resource Center in our lives. There have been a number of relationship-ending potholes in our 10 years of marriage, had it not been for the assistance and tools Mary has taught us. She has an uncanny way of cutting through BS (although it may seem so important at the time) and getting to the heart of the matter. Mary has given me the gift of a stronger relationship with my best friend. Thank you Mary.
