Greetings!

It's been a beautiful spring. We had a great workshop in Ludlow, Vermont. Thanks to Dave & Dawn Lind and the Vermont Healthy Christian Marriages group for hosting the workshop.

The next Passionate Intimacy workshop is scheduled for August 6 & 7, 2010 at Scottsdale Bible Church in Scottsdale, AZ. See PassionateIntimacy.info for details as they become available. I'd love to see you there.

The main article highlights the changes in our office we are excited about.

As always, call or email if we can be of service.

In HIS Service,
Michael Sytsma, PhD

This month begins the 6th year we have had therapy interns join us. We have had eight great interns thus far and are proud of the two who are joining us this year.

Corey Carlisle and Sharon Diamond are in the final stages of their training to be Marriage and Family Therapist. They are currently accepting clients and provide great therapy for low cost. You can read more about them by clicking on their pictures.


CLIENT CARE AND WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION

Kelli Willard, MA

After four years of skillfully and graciously managing incoming calls and scheduling for the office, Kristen Smith-Vaniz is handing over the reigns while she focuses more on therapy and speaking with Dr. Mike. Starting this month, Kelli Willard has been hired to answer the phones, manage the client schedule and answer your questions. She will also be helping Dr. Mike in scheduling and organizing the Passionate Intimacy Workshops. If she looks a bit familiar, it's because she was one of the interns last year. Thus, in addition to the above, Kelli will also assist with marketing and begin to develop her own clients at Building Intimate Marriages, Inc. Watch for her to answer the phone between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm during the week and welcome her.
