Douglas Fox, LPC

My wife told me if I cared about our marriage I'd set up an appointment with her so called Christian marriage counselor ,she had already had five or six sessions with out me . My first encounter with Mr. Fox was waiting outside of his office and hearing him say to a woman in a slightly angry tone "that's a hell of a decision to make " , I should have left then and there, I asked him about the comment that I heard and don't remember his comments. I had an "proverbs 31 wife " before, after several counseling sessions before and with me she turned into someone I nor my family had known , married for several decades. My wife told me at a session in front of Mr. Fox , that she never loved me , doesn't like me and doesn't want to be with me, I was shocked ,thought after being coached by Mr. Fox that he Patted himself on his back ! She turned into a person who cussed , angry, no intimacy ,family was tearing apart, GOD's grace our family is still together, no more counselors ever !!

Because of Doug Fox I feel liberated and I have more insight into my world as well as to the world of others. He tells it like it is in a professional and straight forward-way.

Absolutely disappointed! We picked this individual for marriage counseling 100% due to him advertising to offer Christian counseling. How totally misleading that was! Hoping for a Christian led discovery and roadmap to resolve our differences and after one an a half sessions was told that our marriage was hopeless and that we would not be doing marriage counseling but divorce counseling! REALLY?! Does any true Christian believe for a moment that that position especially so immediately would be God's Will for a marriage?! If you are looking for Christian counseling and guidance STAY AWAY from this guy! Yeah he can throw out a couple of scriptures but to not even put forth an effort to help get us past our differences and realize we were not living in God's Will was absolutely preposterous! No idea why this guy advertises that he offers Christian counseling because we are now in worse shape than we were before we went in to see him. NO EFFORT to offer Christian guidance/understanding!

Each week we visited Doug for marriage counseling, we left in much worse shape than we came in with. It would take days for us to recover enough to be on speaking terms as husband and wife. After a month of this pattern, we explained to Doug what was happening. He admitted to 'stirring the pot' to see what would happen and apologized for not respecting our boundaries. That is the last time we saw him. That is NOT counseling.
