Marriage Counseling in Springfield, MO: Faith-Centered Care for Stronger Relationships

Why Couples Choose Marriage Counseling

Marriage is a blessing—and at times a challenge. When communication breaks down or conflict keeps resurfacing, a trained counselor can provide a neutral, hope-filled space to rebuild connection. Couples often seek help for recurring arguments, emotional distance, parenting or financial stress, trust issues following betrayal, and the strain of trauma, health concerns, or major life transitions.

A Christian, Evidence-Based Approach

At Leathers Christian Counseling, we integrate biblical wisdom with proven therapeutic methods. Your faith matters in the healing process. We help you strengthen your covenant, practice forgiveness, and develop practical rhythms that honor both God and each other.

Tools & Methods We Use

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): strengthens attachment and repairs disconnection.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): reframes unhelpful thought-patterns and reactions.
  • Communication & Conflict Skills: clarity, empathy, boundaries, and repair strategies.
  • Values & Faith Integration: aligning daily habits with Scripture and shared goals.
  • Trauma-Informed Care: when needed, we incorporate trauma-focused work and EMDR-informed strategies.

Convenient Telehealth Across Missouri (via Headway)

All sessions are delivered virtually through Headway, a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform that manages scheduling, insurance, and payments. Whether you’re both in the same room or joining from different locations, you can access professional, faith-based marriage counseling from anywhere in Missouri—without the commute.

What You Can Expect
