Our Approach
Marriage Health provides relationship coaching services from a faith-based perspective. We work with individuals and couples facing relationship challenges, including communication issues, infidelity, and betrayal trauma. Our approach combines faith principles with clinical knowledge and research-based practices.
Coaching vs. Therapy
Please understand that coaching is distinct from therapy or counseling. As coaches, we:
- Focus on present challenges and future growth
- Provide guidance, accountability, and support
- Do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions
- May suggest referrals to licensed therapists when appropriate
Confidentiality & Its Limits
We maintain strict confidentiality with the following four exceptions:
- If we believe you are at risk of harming yourself or others
- If we learn of abuse or neglect of a child, elderly, or vulnerable person
- If required by law or court order
- If you provide written permission to share information
Faith Component
Our coaching incorporates Christian principles while respecting diverse beliefs. Please let us know if you have preferences regarding how faith is addressed in your sessions.
