About Whole Life Priorities

By Michael Cox

Our name and vision came from a conversation.

My family was on a wellness journey following medical and relational struggles. I had been a minister for 13 years and was pursuing my master’s degree in counseling then.

My wife and I were talking about our journey, and that conversation led to this question:

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could walk with individuals, couples, and families on THEIR journeys, helping them prioritize living their life as a whole??

OOOOOH, that’s it: “Whole Life Priorities”!

Adolescents surrounded us.

I’ve worked with teens since I was one. At 19, I became an intern with my former youth pastor. Since then, I’ve been a youth pastor, mentor, teacher, big brother, and friend.

The more my wife and I worked with teens, the more we felt like we were hitting the ceiling. We saw all their potential and all the progress they made as individuals…

But then we had to send them home to struggling families and marriages.

So, we knew we had to expand our focus.

It was crystal clear that we had to support the needs of families and marriages if we were going to create sustainable changes in the lives of young people.

Even if we gave youth the skills and tools they needed to live a better life, if they weren’t supported or encouraged (or, unfortunately, harmed) at home, it was for naught.

To make a change, you need more than desire; you need an environment of healthy habits.

We seek to support the family as a whole.

Families are different, so we’re not a one-size-fits-all or one-stop service. Whatever your family size, shape, or dynamic, we welcome you!

When working with individuals, we explore how their intimate relationships can be a source of support and strength.

For couples, you’ll learn how to work through your individual pain so that you can function as a team.

When working with a family, we bring it all together by working through issues affecting your family.

Let us help your family thrive!

Our practice is designed to support all aspects of the family, so we continue to build a team of highly qualified and inspired therapists.

My wife is also part of the team. She is a coach and has inspired the clinical work I do. We have the privilege of teaming up to serve couples and families in different environments.

We have different specialties, but we are here to see your family succeed!

We would love to work with you. Give us a call today for your free consultation: (512) 831-7676.
