WHAT TO EXPECT
WHAT IS TEMPERAMENT THERAPY?
Dr. Heidi is a Licensed Temperament Therapist and will utilize the incredible "tool" of Temperament Therapy, along with other beneficial resources, to understand yourself and your God-given needs.
You will then learn how to cultivate a cooperative environment to get those needs met in a healthy way.
INDIVIDUAL
We believe the building block of a healthy society is a healthy individual. Ethos is committed to helping people in overcoming any concerns, difficulties, and obstacles blocking them from obtaining a healthy life.
Ethos unique first step in assisting to achieve that health goal is Temperament Therapy. Temperament is a foundational force to help us navigate as we process thoughts, feelings, and circumstances. All custom fit toward your health goals.
We at Ethos, have written a pre-marital workbook entitled, “GCS”.
We believe that much like the GPS navigational system gets us from point A to point B, to get from our present state to our “happily ever after’, we need three essential things in life, God as the source, healthy Communication, and Spice in our intimacy of soul, adventure, and sex.
We will walk the engaged couple through 10 sessions with a goal to answer two vital questions...
marriage
Temperament therapy is first implemented to give greater understanding of the needs within each partner, in order to be most effective in marital unity. Through collaborative counseling, we can help address underlying issues and be a mediation tool through difficult conversations with those you love the most.
families
Family counseling can consist of, but is not limited to, conflict resolution, parenting techniques to lower stress within the family unit, building healthy communication, recognizing the needs of one another and implementing strategy of how to best meet those specific needs, promote cooperation and help develop connection, all while creating and maintaining healthy boundaries.

GCS Workbook
Just as you get into your car and plug the address of your final destination into the GPS device to instruct on how to get to your desired location, we will be doing a similar thing in your marriage. We call this journey, GCS.
We believe that marriage is God-ordained and has a well-instructed plan in the manual called His Word, as well also other vital tools that must be applied in order to achieve the goal of marriage He has called us to enjoy.
G = God. C = Communication. S = Spice.
Through the course of this book, you will have the opportunity to answer over 300 questions that you may not have thought otherwise to investigate to prepare yourselves, not just for a wedding, but a happy marriage!
Already married? This can also be utilized as a great source to refresh yourself in the commitment made in marriage. Get refreshed by keeping that flame stoked!
TESTIMONIALS
I reached out to Ethos a few years ago when I recognized how badly I was struggling to cope. Having the counsel and ability to listen to my heart and pray with me has been instrumental in finding healing and growth, as well as reason. An awareness of my temperament is an empowering gift as I make the life decisions both on the large scale and in day-to-day life. It really helps me to have an unbiased third-party to share things with, and Ethos consistently points me back to the Lord, for which I am grateful.

" THE FOUNDATION THAT ETHOS GAVE US HAS HELPED US KEEP THE SPARK ALIVE IN OUR MARRIAGE, EVEN AFTER 15 YEARS. WE HAVE REFERRED MANY FRIENDS TO ETHOS AND WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WHO IS STRUGGLING OR JUST NEEDS A TUNE-UP.”
-CJ & Brandy P
"Ethos has given me the keys I have needed to unlock the treasure box of my life. I had a hard time seeing any worth with how God made me and struggling with trying to earn His approval along with the approval of others. Through this very unique form of counseling, I was able to see and value how God made me and from there, discover the purpose I was made for.
I’ve learned to celebrate the reflections of God found in who I am and surrender the weaknesses that steal attention from Him. Perfection isn’t the goal, becoming more like Christ is. I appreciate the council I have received as it is led by the Spirit of God and is as unique as the individual. Everyone needs the keys I have received to walk in the fullness of Christ!"
