About

Hi! I'm Dr. Carol J Henry,

 

a couples expert, teacher, and relationship coach with 35 years of experience helping over a thousand couples create the relationship of their dreams.

How I realized helping couples is what I wanted to do with my life

I went from poor communicator and divorcee to the expert on loving, connected couples.

I got married at 25 years old.

Before there was a relationship expert and teacher…

Before there were hundreds of couples in my community…

There was a wife (me) who didn’t understand that we should actually feel our feelings and talk aloud to our partner about them. And work together to get our needs and wishes met to be happy.  Plus, my husband had the same poor relationship skills.

I felt unhappy and alone even though I was married to the man I had thought was “the one”.   And, after 4 years, we got divorced.    I’m still sad about our untapped potential for a successful marriage, but we didn’t know how relationships worked, how to communicate and work problems through and come out happy on the other side. After the divorce, I moved to Seattle and entered graduate school for my doctorate in psychology.  

After the divorce, I moved to Seattle and entered graduate school for my doctorate in psychology.  

During my studies and in much further study after that, I learned vast amounts about communication, how to express feelings and how to resolve problems successfully as well as the mindsets, beliefs and attitudes necessary for a successful marriage.  

Those were the missing elements.  And I learned them (and so can you!).

For the past 35 years, in my psychology practice in downtown Seattle, I’ve been able to help over a thousand couples grow themselves and their relationship so that they can live the life that they dreamed about when they first got together.   

Here are some of the results that clients tell me about:

Here's What My Clients Say!

"...you saved our marriage." Your communication process is just what we needed. We're surprised how many areas of our relationship are so much better. We said yesterday to each other, "I'm happy and I love you." We wanted to let you know that you saved our marriage.
"We're happier than we've ever thought possible, due to you." Thank you for the work you did with us. We thought we were destined to break up, but instead, we got married. We're happier than we ever thought we'd be , due to you.

"Every single step of the course has taught us something important." How did you know our problems so well? We're already different together even though we haven't finished the course yet. We can't wait for what's next!


Recently, I’ve discovered that by building an online business of virtual Relationship Coaching I could reach thousands of couples who need my help and not be constrained by who could come into my physical office. 

I could use all of the knowledge and expertise I’ve gained as a psychologist and also learn as much as possible about working online effectively as a relationship coach. 

  • I doubled down and took several years of courses in coaching and in how to create an online business.
  • I went to work learning all that I could, from many different mentors, and have now developed a research-based, proven process for teaching and supporting couples to grow into exceptional couples.
  • I took the processes, techniques and strategies I had used with my couples therapy clients and have made them into the programs I now offer online.
  • I knew the value of private coaching to accelerate and fine-tune the work with couples, so I have made sure that each couple gets personal attention since each couple has unique needs. 
  • In these times, when we get increasingly isolated from friends and family due to being busy, looking at screens all day, and raising children, and of course,  COVID, the idea of having a community to learn with and from each other, is very appealing to many people.  So, I’ve added a free Facebook group, Committed Couples Growing Together. 
  •  And, I’m creating a private Facebook group for people who have chosen to be part of my inner community through taking my courses and/or having private coaching.  

Ready to get started and get REAL
traction in your relationship?

Over the years I’ve developed the reputation for teaching things in an easy-to-learn, action-based process.

This is due to years of experience and my own learning from my clients.  I’ve listened carefully to them telling me what has worked and what didn’t, and have honed my processes to incorporate that feedback.  

Together, you and I can work together to create the relationship of your dreams.

I’ve told you this story (all true) to help you understand that I know what it’s like to not know the steps to repair and/or grow your relationship. And that there are tools, strategies and mindsets are needed to be successful and even exceptional.  As long as you’re committed to do the work that it takes.

I know you don’t believe that one strategy or one tool is all that’s needed to fix your relationship.  You know it isn’t a quick fix.  In fact, stay away from anyone who says they have a 3-day or 2-week cure for your relationship.  You know that’s not possible. 

I bet you also know that you can’t do it without help.  Because you’ve tried.  It’s not your fault that you need help.  It’s because you haven’t yet learned what’s needed to make your relationship vibrate with love.  

I’ve got you.  You’ve come to the right place!  Let’s do this together!!

I know that if you’ve read this far, you’re ready to take action to propel your relationship from where it is now to where you want it to be. 

You want to feel confident that every minute of effort you invest will pay off 10X, even 100X, right?   

Ready to take your leap and start getting real traction in building the relationship of your dreams?
