Healing Is Possible. Restoration Still Matters.
I offer marriage counseling rooted in the belief that relationships can be repaired—not through blame or quick fixes, but through commitment, clarity, and mutual effort. Love is not just a feeling—it’s a bond shaped by promises, shared meaning, and the willingness to grow even when it's hard.
Many couples worry that therapy will take sides, reopen old wounds, or confirm that the damage is beyond repair. But the truth is, the very act of seeking help is a sign of hope—a sign that something in you still believes your relationship is worth the effort.
In our work together, I provide a calm, honest space where both partners are heard and respected. We’ll focus on:
The decision to seek help isn’t a failure—it’s an investment in something that still matters. I’m here to help you walk the next steps with honesty, patience, and purpose.
I’m Steven Lawrence, a marriage counselor with over ten years of experience helping couples reconnect, rebuild, and strengthen their relationships. I work exclusively with couples because I believe a thriving marriage is foundational—not only for the two people in it, but for the children, families, and communities that grow from it.
My approach is warm, structured, and focused. I take the time to truly get to know both partners—not just as a couple, but as individuals with their own stories, needs, and perspectives. Using a comprehensive relationship assessment, I help identify the core challenges you're facing and create a clear path forward, grounded in practical, evidence-based tools.
I share the view held by Dr. John Gottman that conflict in a relationship is not a sign of failure, but a signal—an opportunity to better understand each other and to grow. With the right guidance and commitment, I believe most couples can experience meaningful healing, deeper connection, and lasting change.
I don’t take sides, and I’m not here to play referee. My role is to guide you with clarity and compassion—helping you develop new patterns of communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen the emotional foundation of your marriage.
I’m trained in the Gottman Method (Level 2) and NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model), and I adapt my work to fit your values and worldview. I’ve had the privilege of working with couples from all walks of life—arts and entertainment, education, sports, business, and young couples just starting out.
I’ve been married for over 20 years and have three children. I know firsthand that relationships take ongoing effort, and I’m honored to walk alongside couples as they do the important work of restoring and renewing their bond.
