What Our Clients Say
"When I discovered that my husband had an addiction to pornography and sexual acting- out the first person that I reached out to was Matt Burton. Matt counselled me and helped me to understand the addiction and the trauma causing this addiction. He also guided me through organizing an intervention with my husband to help him find the resources that he > needed to begin his healing process. I have a great deal of respect for Matt and his knowledge."
"Matt and Laura are compassionate, patient, funny, and full of grace- all the while holding us accountable for the work in recovery. They are a great team and with personal experience in all aspects of their teaching. We are looking forward to their guidance and direction as we continue to lean into recovery."
"Our experience as a couple working with Matt and Laura Burton has been nothing short of miraculous. After 41 years of marriage and no idea that IA was a real thing or was what we were struggling with, we were at the end of our marriage with no options in sight. After < being referred to Matt just 3 months ago we are in a much better relationship than we ever > Imagined was possible. We have a long road ahead, but are dedicated to recovery."
