Marriage as mountain climbing: the journey of rebuilding trust and connection

When your relationship feels impossibly broken, you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the path ahead. Marriage and Family Therapist Bill Frye draws from his mountain climbing experience to show how rebuilding trust and connection requires the same patience, preparation, and step-by-step approach as scaling a peak. He explores why trust takes time, how partners take turns leading the healing process, and why many couples discover their relationship becomes stronger than before their crisis. Whether you’re facing betrayal, communication breakdown, or disconnection, this guide offers the realistic hope you need to take that first brave step forward.

Accommodating, approachable, thoughtful, intuitive and natural methods to faith based counseling that doesn't feel forced or methodical in an unnatural way (though of course there are definitely educated methods being used. But as a client it doesnt feel that way, more relaxed and relational)... appreciate all the staff we've seen thus far including support staff. Nice new office. Comfortable. I'd highly recommend. Have been to others before and hands down this is a much better more wholistic place. Incredibly skilled staff. Thanks so much!!!
