Private, Expert Marriage Counseling For Women In High-Conflict Relationships

Specialized Marriage Counseling for Women in High-Conflict Relationships

Reclaim your voice and build a strong foundation for a healthy relationship.

Why Traditional Marriage Counseling Fails

Joint Sessions Can Escalate Conflict

Traditional marriage counseling can actually do more harm than good unless emotional safety is first established so you can speak and be heard.

Underlying Issues Go Unaddressed

Too often, narcissistic traits and emotional abuse, which are difficult to recognize, are mistaken for poor communication skills.

Lack of Clear Direction

We use a directive approach with clear recommendations for addressing the problematic issues, rather than just talking about your problems.

Our Expert-Led Approach to Healing

Individual Assessment

Begin with one-on-one sessions where you can safely share your perspective away from the fear and control dynamics.

Personal Growth Focus

Work on regaining your sense of self and establishing healthy boundaries while your partner is on his own healing path.

Guided Joint Sessions

Move into the repair and rebuild phase only after a baseline of emotional safety and individual progress is established.

Sustainable Healing

Learn how to create healthy connection and intimacy rather than focusing on the day to day problems and surface issues.

Recognizing Emotional Abuse

Constant Criticism

“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”
“Everyone knows that’s not how you do that.”
“You’re not making any sense.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Gaslighting

“I never said that. You’re remembering that wrong.”
“Everyone knows you’re overly sensitive.”
“You’re the one who was yelling and over-reacting.”
“You’re being ungrateful – you’re never happy.”

Control and Isolation

Everything must be done his way;
He monitors your whereabouts, how and who you spend your time with;
He controls the finances;
He guilts you for time spent outside the home or pursuing your own interests.

Passive Aggressive Behaviors

Gives you the silent treatment as punishment
Uses guilt and shame to manipulate your emotions and control your behaviors
Uses spirituality and bible verses (taken out of context) to keep you in line

All of these tactics lead to self-doubt, confusion, isolation, anxiety, physical and mental exhaustion, and physical symptoms such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, high blood pressure and constantly feeling "on edge."

Success Stories: Relationships Transformed

“I’m so thankful that you are helping those like me in challenging relationships. I’ve learned so much! I can now recognize gaslighting, invalidation, manipulation, denial, love bombing, DARVO, and a host of other toxic and abusive behaviors.”

“Our 3-Day Marriage Intensive has changed the course of our lives & our 43-year marriage that was heading to catastrophe. It’s not an easy, immediate fix. We still have to be intentional but we are in a better place than I can ever remember, which makes all the effort & money worth it!”

“You immediately cut to the chase on the issues. Without your help, I don’t think my husband would have ever come to the point where he knew he needed to make a change. Our marriage is healthier and happier than it’s ever been, we have really bonded as husband and wife.”

“My wife and I are experiencing a rewardingly transformative shift in our relationship. We have developed an awareness of each other that has been lacking all of these years. Thanks to the Marriage Recovery Center we are thriving!”

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your approach different from traditional marriage counseling?

We don’t assume that all marriage issues are communication issues. We begin with a comprehensive assessment specifically designed for high conflict relationships to determine the underlying issues. Based on the results, your clinician will provide a treatment plan for what is needed for healing to take place.

What if my partner won't go to counseling?

Your healing journey does not depend on your partner’s participation. Many women’s lives, and even their relationships are changed simply by working on their own personal healing and growth. You will be surprised by how your partner can be influenced simply by YOU showing up differently.

Do you offer Christian-based counseling approaches?

Yes, we have Christian counselors who offer faith based counseling for those who want guidance based on Godly principles for love and marriage.
