Thank you for visiting my website my name is Eric Velez, and I look forward to helping you cultivate stronger relationships.

Certified Prepare/ Enrich facilitator. Prepare/ Enrich is the number 1 marriage and relationship program for the past 35+ years. Whether you are married, looking for premarital counseling, or trying to strengthen what you already have, whatever the stage, this is the perfect program for you.

I have had more than 8 years of working experience in social services, families, and consultation.

My Goal

With these years of expertise, you will find my approach very effective. I want all my clients to feel heard and cared for. At the same time, I will be transparent and honest when we are working together. I want you to grow closer together as a couple. There is almost no problem that cannot be overcome with hard work and a little bit of hope.

Using time tested and scientifically based therapeutic approaches you could see tremendous growth. I have seen so much change in my clients over the years and I can help you as well. 

A Unique Approach To Counseling

Using Prepare/Enrich as our foundation gives us a robust base to start couples’ work. This tool is unique in how it provides direction for the most critical domains in our relationships and how they intertwine. Prepare/Enrich has close to 40 years of scientifically based research behind it and is very popular amongst Licensed Therapists.
