Couples Counseling

Every relationship faces challenges—but you don’t have to face them alone. At Refocus Counseling Ministry, our couples counseling is designed to help you reconnect, communicate effectively, and strengthen the foundation of your marriage or relationship.

We use evidence-based approaches like PREP (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program) and Marriage Builders to equip couples with practical tools for building trust, resolving conflict, and reigniting love. Whether you’re newly married, facing long-standing issues, or just want to grow stronger together, we’re here to help.

With a Christ-centered focus and a commitment to truth, grace, and growth, we walk with couples toward healing, unity, and lasting joy.

Your marriage matters. 

Families are meant to be a place of love, support, and belonging—but sometimes communication breaks down, roles shift, or conflict takes over. Family therapy offers a space where every voice can be heard and healing can begin.

At Refocus Counseling, as pastoral counselors, we help families navigate challenges like parenting struggles, blended family transitions, grief, addiction, and emotional wounds. Through a faith-based, christian approach, we guide families toward healthier dynamics, deeper understanding, and stronger bonds.

When one person heals, the whole family can change. Let’s work together to build a foundation of peace, trust, and love that lasts. Christian Counseling in Goodyear!

At Refocus Counseling Ministry, we offer is unique approach with pastoral and trauma-informed care to help individuals heal from painful experiences that continue to affect their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. One of the tools we use is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)—a proven therapy that helps the brain process and release traumatic memories in a safe and effective way.

Whether you’ve faced abuse, grief, anxiety, or other life-altering events, pastoral trauma counseling with EMDR can help you move forward with clarity, peace, and renewed hope.

Every relationship goes through seasons—some full of joy, others marked by distance, hurt, or misunderstanding. Relationship counseling offers a safe space to uncover what’s beneath the conflict, strengthen communication, and rebuild trust.

At Refocus Counseling, we walk alongside couples and families with grace and truth, using evidence-based tools like PREP and Marriage Builders, while keeping Christ at the center. Whether you’re dating, married, or navigating a difficult family dynamic, healing is possible.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s walk this journey together—toward deeper connection, forgiveness, and love that lasts.

Stress is a natural part of life, but when it goes unmanaged, it can take a toll on your mind, body, relationships, and spirit. Learning to manage stress isn’t about avoiding challenges—it’s about building the tools to face them with resilience and peace.

At Refocus Counseling, we help clients identify the sources of their stress and develop healthy coping strategies rooted in both clinical insight and biblical truth. From deep breathing and boundary setting to renewing the mind through Scripture and therapeutic tools, stress doesn’t have to control you.

You can breathe again. You can think clearly. You can feel like yourself again. Let us help you take that first step.
