Problems We Help With...
Meet the Founder.
Helping Couples Stop the Fighting, Rebuild Trust & Re-Discover Closeness Again.
Luke Dickens, PhD
Trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), EMDR, Attachment Based EMDR, Gottman Couples Method.
Founder of Dickens Marriage & Family Therapy Center.
I know the heartache of feeling like the person you love most is miles away.
Maybe it’s the years of conflict that never seem to get resolved.
Or the shock of betrayal that turned your world upside down.
Deep down, you long to feel safe, close, and truly understood again
But right now, you have no idea how to get there.
Over the years, I’ve walked alongside couples who were on the brink.
Some came shattered by betrayal.
Others were worn down by endless fights.
Or the painful distance of living like roommates.
Many feared they had already lost too much.
But when couples are given the safety, guidance, and tools they need.
I’ve seen healing take root.
And relationships once thought broken begin to come back to life
That’s why I do this work. My team and I have been trained in research proven approaches for rebuilding relationships.
​
Including Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and Attachment-based EMDR.
​
But more important than the methods we use; is the space we create together.
A space where you can feel safe enough to begin healing the connection between you.
And gain the most effective tools to create lasting change in your relationship.
You don't have to stay stuck in this place.
​
Your first session is free.
​​
In that session we start to uncover the patterns keeping you stuck.
​
And create a plan to help you both get close to each other again.
What We Can Do For Your Marriage.
"You don't have to wait months to feel things start to change"
Stop the Fights that Destroy Closeness
​
You'll feel arguments calm down before they spiral out of control.
Heal the triggers that keep your relationship stuck in pain and isolation.
​
You'll start to feel less tense and more connected instead of trapped in same painful cycle.
Communicate with each other without feeling like enemies.
Conversations that once ended in blame and silence start to feel safer and productive.
Heal the root of disconnection so this kind of pain doesn't repeat.
This isn't about communicating better - it's about knowing this kind of pain won't happen again.
Restore emotional safety so that you don't stay in a sexless marriage.
​
When safety returns, passion and desire have room to grow and feel natural again.
Lasting change doesn’t happen by chance.
It happens through a clear method.
One that every couple can follow, no matter how broken things feel.
Here’s the two-stage process we use to help you rebuild safety and connection step by step.
Our Two-Stage Process to Rebuild Safety and Connection
Using a proven two-stage approach, most couples find healing in 8–20 sessions.
Moving from conflict or betrayal toward stability, trust, and connection that lasts.
Stage 1 - Rebuilding Safety
Relieve tension and rebuild trust so healing can begin.
Feel safe enough to face your triggers together.
Conversations that once created more pain now lead to relief and understanding.
As you learn to co-create safety with each other.
You’ll notice trust and connection starting to rebuild — one conversation at a time.
​​
​​
​
​
You start responding with empathy instead of defense.
The anger, silence, and distance that once took over begin to fade.
Replaced by care, comfort, and understanding that make communication feel natural again.
Stage 2- Creating Connection
Feel closeness return naturally
You begin to trust that you can work through the hard moments together.
Those difficult times stop pulling you apart.
You start to face them as a team.
Not attacking or avoiding but supporting each other through them.
Over time, these hard places don’t create disconnection.
They actually strengthen the connection between you.
​
​
​
​
Desire and affection start to feel natural again.
As emotional and physical closeness grow, connection flows from comfort and care instead of fear or pressure.
​
You begin to enjoy each other again — with ease and authenticity.
Healing doesn’t have to wait.
Let’s begin rebuilding safety and connection together — your first session is free.
