grow and taste fulfillment, we must adapt successfully to change. Change is a normal part of life (re: individuals, marriages, friendships, families, even businesses). We at Lidkea, Stob, Venema & Associates are committed to being compassionate, insightful, trained therapists - especially in terms of marital/common-law relationships. At times, outside assistance may be very beneficial in assuring 'safe passage' through frustrating times - for any marriage.

Typical issues we at Lidkea, Stob, Venema & Associates will encounter as marital therapists: communication difficulties, distancing and feelings of isolation, sexual/intimacy frustrations, trust/distrust, parenting differences, anger management, grief/loss situations and misdirected stress symptoms. Different individuals will naturally grow or get stuck at different life stages (i.e. marital to parenting frustrations, ageing or self-worth concepts). Couples rarely choose to get caught in such dilemmas, they are the result of misunderstanding, self-absorption, fears or self esteem changes. We at Lidkea, Stob, Venema & Associates commit to working with you, to assess what is happening or not happening and to encourage successful resolution and growth in terms of confusion and pain. Marital difficulties do not only impact upon a couple in the moment, they determine our relationships to ourselves, extended family, friends and our very future. All too often, minor issues compound to frightening levels prior to therapeutic intervention. Breakdowns and lack of happiness can be avoided and healed with the proper input. We're here to help - that's our commitment.
