Experience Hope Counseling LLC

What Experience Hope Counseling LLC does

Experience Hope Counseling LLC is a private, founder-operated marriage counseling and relationship coaching practice founded in 2013 by Timothy Shetter, M.S., headquartered in Greeley, Colorado. The firm delivers counseling and coaching services to high-achieving professionals — explicitly including CEOs, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, entertainers, pastors, and professors — across the United States, primarily through online video sessions (Zoom) with selective in-person intensives at resort locations in Prescott, Sedona, and Scottsdale, Arizona, and Estes Park, Colorado. Over its operational history the practice has served more than 1,000 couples, operating with a deliberately small bench of 2-3 practitioners under a selective, few-clients-at-a-time service model.

The service portfolio spans Marriage Counseling, Relationship Coaching, Pre-Marital Counseling (using the Prepare-Enrich assessment), Affair Recovery, and individual coaching for men and women. Differentiated methodologies include the Marriage Roadmap — a structured 90-120 minute deep-dive assessment designed to identify core friction points — the Marriage Intensives program (a premium 2-4 day immersive offering conducted at resort locations), and a "Man-Friendly" counseling approach intended to keep male clients engaged. The firm also operates the Brotherhood of Men year-long mastermind, the StrongHusband Blueprint Program, and women's Accountability Coaching and Individual Life Coaching packages delivered via BookMe self-serve booking. The underlying technology stack is built on standard third-party SaaS tools — Zoom for video, UpCoach for client portal and session management, BookMe for scheduling, and Prepare-Enrich for assessment — with no proprietary platform, app, or AI components.

Revenue is generated through program-based pricing rather than hourly billing, including 12-week VIP structured engagements, multi-day resort intensives followed by monthly sessions, and 30-day individual coaching packages. The practice does not accept insurance, positioning itself as a premium out-of-pocket service above traditional talk therapy. Distribution combines content marketing (organic blog, Facebook), free 15-minute consultation offers for lead qualification, and direct founder-led sales. Sub-brands include Marriage Roadmap, Strong Husbands Program, and StrongHusband Blueprint Program. The firm was previously operated under the trade name Experience Growth Coaching and was rebranded to its current identity. There is no external institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure.

Broad incumbents

• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is the largest online therapy marketplace, offering individual, couples, and teen counseling via subscription. It is comparable as an online mental health service covering couples counseling, but it operates as a broad, scaled platform rather than a specialized premium couples brand.
• Talkspace: Talkspace is an online therapy platform that matches users with licensed therapists for individuals, couples, and teens via video and messaging. It overlaps with Experience Hope Counseling in online couples and relationship counseling but is a broad-based, insurance-accepting incumbent rather than a niche premium brand.

Direct peers

• ReGain (by BetterHelp): ReGain is an online counseling platform purpose-built for couples and relationships, offering video, audio, and chat sessions with licensed therapists. It is comparable to Experience Hope Counseling as a couples-focused online counseling brand, though it operates at scale as a marketplace rather than a solo-practitioner brand.
• Relationship Hero: Relationship Hero is an online coaching platform connecting users with trained relationship coaches for one-on-one text and chat-based sessions focused on dating and relationship issues. It is comparable to Experience Hope Counseling as an online relationship coaching service, though more transactional and marketplace-oriented.
• Hold Me Tight / Dr. Sue Johnson (ICEEFT): The Hold Me Tight program, based on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and led by Dr. Sue Johnson, is a structured couples workshop and training model with retreats and certification. It is comparable to Experience Hope Counseling as a premium couples workshop and intensive brand centered on a proprietary relationship-repair methodology.
• The Gottman Institute: The Gottman Institute is a leading research-based couples therapy organization that trains therapists in the Gottman Method and offers workshops, retreats, and certification programs. It is directly comparable to Experience Hope Counseling as a premium, methodology-led couples counseling brand serving motivated clients seeking structured, evidence-based relationship repair.
• Couples Therapy Inc. Couples Therapy Inc. is a dedicated couples counseling center offering in-person and online therapy with multiple therapists specializing in relationship issues. It is comparable to Experience Hope Counseling as a couples-specialized private practice with both individual therapist sessions and structured intensive programs.

Emerging players

• SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts): SYMBIS is a pre-marital assessment and certification program used by pastors, counselors, and couples to prepare for marriage. It is comparable to Experience Hope Counseling's pre-marital counseling offering using Prepare-Enrich, as both deliver structured assessment-driven pre-marriage programs through certified practitioners.
• Lasting by Thrively: Lasting is a marriage counseling app offering self-guided relationship programs based on the Gottman Method for couples seeking structured, app-based support. It is comparable to Experience Hope Counseling as a structured, methodology-driven couples program, though delivered as a consumer software product rather than live coaching.

Others

• Prepare-Enrich: Prepare-Enrich is a leading relationship assessment and coaching tool used by certified facilitators for pre-marital and couples work. It is comparable as the assessment backbone that Experience Hope Counseling uses, and as an ecosystem enabler supplying content, training, and certification for relationship coaches.
