Denise Fitzpatrick, M.Ed., LMHC
Hi, I’m Denise! Owner and founder of My Marriage Works coaching. I am a licensed mental health counselor (over 20 years), turned Marriage Coach/Mentor. I am passionate about saving marriages and keeping families together. After opening my own practice in 2007, I quickly realized that coupes therapy was an entirely different skill set than individual therapy.
Feeling ill prepared to help couples I embarked on a decade long journey of training in the most well known, research based approaches to couples therapy, including Gottman, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and advanced training in the Developmental Model of couples therapy. I’ve been specializing in helping women (and couples) create happy, healthy, thriving relationships for more than 12 years.
Through my years of specialized training, helping countless couples I have developed my own framework/process to help people heal their marriages quickly and permanently. I know what works and what doesn’t.
I am kind and compassionate but have an active and direct approach. Which is a must when it comes to helping you with your marriage. You may be feeling there’s no hope for your marriage right now, but let me tell you, I’ve helped hundreds of married women & couples heal and strengthen their marriage even when they had lost hope, even when they thought it wasn’t possible. This is possible for you too!
I’ve been married for 23 years and have had the experience of healing my own marriage through the exact methods I teach my clients. I love being married to my hubby and being the mom of two young men, 18 and 20 and two fur babies.

How Empathy Saved My Marriage
I consider myself a pretty empathic person. I’m a therapist after all. I’d make a pretty lousy therapist if I didn’t have empathy. Yet when it came to my marriage. Empathy was
50% of Marriages End in Divorce
50% of marriages end in divorce 60% of second time marriages end in divorce. Why are these stats so high? I believe the real problem is that people don’t know how to be married.
Why Couples Therapy Often Fails
I get asked a lot, what’s the difference between therapy and coaching. People have lots of different explanations around this. Some say therapy is more focused on the past and coaching is focused on the future. Some
