MarriageWorks

Very helpful at a time when we needed an outside perspective on some issues we were confronting.

This review is WAY overdue (due to a slew of family emergencies), but I wanted to make sure to submit it because of the wonderful work that Arnold did with me and my partner and the gratitude we continue to feel toward him. We were in a really bad place and I did not think that our marriage would last. I thought we were doomed for sure. Arnold helped us navigate our way through it and now I have a much better degree of hope and certainty that we will stay together. I think my spouse and I carry a bit of Arnold internally to help us get through minor obstacles, but it’s reassuring to know that if we ever feel like we need a tune-up, all we need to do is call.In our sessions we found Arnold to be a non-partial, non-judgmental supporter of our relationship. He adeptly articulated the issues that contributed to the decline in our marriage and provided sound insights and advice. He also gently helped my partner recognize earlier life experiences that had great bearing on how he views himself...and coming from Arnold, this feedback was considered more seriously!Finally, I’d like to say that as a mental health professional, I can vouch for his clinical acumen and experience. I highly recommend him at every possible opportunity. Thank you, Arnold, for helping our family stay intact. More...

I am extremely thankful and appreciative for the honest, open, objective and extremely professional marriage counseling, I received from Arnold Sell of Marriage Works. Arnold provided a neutral and judgment free environment to identify issues and develop independent strategies to strengthen our marriage. This couples therapy also provided an opportunity for self reflection and growth. I would recommend Marriage-Works Baltimore to any couple going through life and normal issues, we all face. Top notch service!! More...

My husband and I saw Arnold Sell for quite a few months in 2017, it was one of the best decisions we ever made for our marriage. Arnold was patient, understanding, and very accommodating to both of our busy schedules. He helped us get back to "us" and for that, we are forever grateful. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a counselor, both individual or couples. More...

My wife and I found ourselves in a situation that many marriages are forced to face, the uncertainty of ever after. We were partners for a total of 22 years and like other couples relationships, there were ups and downs. The year of 2016/2017 proved to be by far the most difficult time of our marriage.The elements of distrust had taken hold and both, my wife and I saw sides of our character that the other had never seen before. We experienced some of the most vulgar language and behavior toward each other and by all accounts it would have been apparent that the marriage was over. We have never experienced anything like this in our 22 years together.We reluctantly agreed with each other to try marriage counseling with very little hope of recovering from these disastrous events that had literally destroyed what otherwise was a great marriage.After searching for a counselor online and through other publications, I became increasingly disappointing at the many advertisers and after receiving little to no response from many of them, I felt our marriage falling apart even further.I found a company named "Marriage Works" and read the material and bio of Arnold Sell. I thought "ok let's try this person" I presented the name and information to my wife and again, she reluctantly agreed to try.Upon making contact with Arnold who responded to my call in just a few hours, an appointment was made. When we arrived at the office, we started having second thoughts about this visit. The office, on the outside is not your typical store front or office building. It is located in a residential community and suffice it to say do not judge a book by its cover. We mustered up the courage to enter the location and was pleasantly surprised that it was an actual working office.Arnold introduced himself and got right to work. During each session, he always remained focused on the issues and encouraged us to talk. What we found was that when in his presents, we had to speak civilly to each other and allow the other to speak and say what was on their mind. In our home that was not the case. The main thing that we learned was that now we could hear each other. We were forced to actually listen and had time to respond without yelling at each other. Arnold was so helpful, caring and straight forward. With his patience, guidance and understanding, he was able to show us that our marriage was worth saving. He was instrumental in teaching us to truly communicate with each other. I can honestly say that I am a better man and an even better husband from Arnold's insight and encouragement.My wife has been and will always be my best friend. She has been the strong resilient women that I fell in love with 22 years ago. I will admit that I took her for granted and was not considered as to her needs and feelings. She has grown and also learned how to better communicate her feelings and desires. Perhaps, the most important of all healing techniques that Arnold was able to share with me is that I must understand that in every marriage there are boundaries for outsiders that must be respected.Marriage Works is absolutely a vital resource for couples who find themselves questioning the longevity of their marriage. My wife and I undoubtedly recommend Arnold Sell and Marriage Works as a vital part of relationship recovery. Arnold was always willing to try to work around our schedules.His more than adequate credentials speaks volumes of his experience and passion for helping others to heal . We both recommend any couple thinking about giving up, DON'T!!...... Call Marriage Works first and try one last time. If its truly worth saving, take that last step and stay with it. Healing is truly a process. Let the process work and watch the healing.Thank you Arnold Sells for your devoted awesome service. You definitely saved our marriageMr. & Mrs. H. V. G. More...
