Meet Bessie
Relationships can be challenging. I know. I have been married for 28 years and during these years, my husband and I had our good and bad times but went through a particular time in our marriage when it was especially difficult. We didn't feel connected to one another and became upset with each other when we attempted to communicate. We hadn't worked on keeping our 'love spark' alive and didn't know how to reconnect with one another.
We then took action and eventually made the commitment to reconnect with each other and learn to communicate in a respectful and loving manner through Imago Relationship Therapy. I was so impressed by the progress made in our relationship and since then it has been my passion to commit to working with couples in my practice. The tools learned were so powerful and it really helped my husband and I to be where we are today, more connected and able to communicate openly and lovingly with each another.
As a couples counselor, I am committed to helping couples find the love again and create their journey towards a safe and loving relationship. I work towards getting couples to where they want to be with their significant other: to be loved, respected and heard.
You deserve to be in a loving relationship! Let's figure out how to do that. If you are ready, please call me at 808.753.5370.

"If it weren't for Bessie Estonactoc at Harmony Counseling we would not be together right now. I know that is a big statement but I believe it to be true. My husband and I came to Bessie after many failed therapy sessions with many different therapists. Using Bessie and the Imago Dialogue made our relationship stronger and my communication with my husband better. We truly feel that she cares for us and helps guide us through our issues. I would highly recommend Bessie and her services to anyone." |
