Despite what you’ve been told,
treatment IS possible!
Since 2010, Marriage Recovery Center specializes in assessment and treatment for narcissistic, emotionally abusive and high-conflict relationships.
Does This Sound Familiar ?
Your relationship feels emotionally exhausting
Conversations go in circles and nothing ever gets resolved
You’ve lost your sense of self and confidence
You feel lonely inside the relationship
Your partner reacts defensively to almost everything
You tried couples counseling, but it didn’t help
You are carrying all of the emotional burden of trying to fix your relationship
You wonder if real change is even possible
You’ve been to counseling; you’ve read the books; you went to the marriage retreat. So why are you still stuck in the same pattern of blame, defensiveness, hurt and resentment?
You never dealt with the real issues.
Unfortunately, few counselors are trained to recognize and treat the deeper, complex issues of power & control, emotional abuse, emotional immaturity, accountability and emotional safety.
When these dynamics are present, no amount of communication tools can fix it.
Get clarity about the real issues that are causing distress in your relationship.
Take the Relationship Dynamics Assessment™
Developed by Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Hudson, the Relationship Dynamics Assessment™ is a free screening tool that measures your relationship health across seven domains, revealing the hidden patterns that are driving your relationship dysfunction.
Is it communication issues, or something more serious? Are you dealing with emotional immaturity, or emotional abuse? Is there a lack of emotional safety in your relationship? Find out the answers to these questions and more.
Marriage Recovery Center helps individuals and couples recognize and move beyond destructive patterns that prevent them from allowing true healing to take place.
The Comprehensive Healing Pathway is the culmination of Dr. Hawkins’ decades long career dedicated to cracking the code when it comes to helping high conflict couples who have “tried everything.” It involves:
His Work
Individual work focused on accountability, recognizing harmful behaviors, emotional maturity, and genuine change.
Her Work
Recovery work focused on gaining clarity, boundary setting, healing from trauma, and reclaiming a sense of self.
Our Work
Couples work that begins only after the foundation is in place. Designed for real, lasting change, not temporary fixes.
