Starobin Counseling offers over 30 years of experience providing counseling for children, teens, adults, couples, and families.

Whether you just heard, "I love you, but I'm not in love with you," are trying to rebuild trust after an affair, need to replace distance with closeness, need to forgive (or be forgiven), or are trying to avoid separation or stop a divorce -- Dr. Shane employs Gottman Institute's research based methods to help couples develop the skills needed to hear (and be heard), resolve conflicts in a "win/win' vs a "win/lose" fashion, and speak each other's "love language" so that you can try and make peace with the past and get past the hurt.

Given the many challenges that can lead to divorce (money problems, adultery, differences in raising children, etc.) the wisest thing couples can do is to seek Christian counseling before they say "I do."

We provide counseling that can benefit couples, marriages, individuals struggling with personal issues, and families experiencing difficulties.
