Ed & Betsy Hedinger are a husband and wife counseling/consulting team that have focused their practice on healing relationships. After getting their undergrad degrees at John Brown University, they went on to complete their graduate work at Wheaton College earning Masters’ Degrees in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family.

Though they have solid academic backgrounds, Ed and Betsy don’t come from a sterile academic understanding of relationships. After 10 years, they almost lost their own marriage and they understand the pain and confusion you’re experiencing. Now after being married almost 30 years, Ed and Betsy can honestly say just about anyone’s marriage can make it if couples just use the tools they’ll be given at ICU for Couples.

About Our Retreats

Couples spend one weekend or one 3-day mid-week period per month for 4-6 months in a peaceful, secluded setting in the beautiful Ozark Mountains.

In a comfortable, homelike environment, you will receive individual couple's sessions with Ed and Betsy with practical exercises to complete between sessions.  Unlike other retreats where you may feel like you're attending a convention with a hundred other people, you're not just one couple in the crowd at ICU for Couples.  Your visit will include getting to know only a handful of couples.

At ICU for Couples, we're with you every step of the way.  Even during your time at home, we'll schedule regular week sessions by webcam and we'll be available by phone and email.  We won't leave you until you're ready.
