When Your Marriage is in Trouble, You Need Clarity – Not Guesswork.
Marriage crisis consultation and relationship therapy for individuals and couples who want to understand what’s happening and what to do next.
Most people wait too long to get help for their marriage, and when they do, the therapist’s style or modality isn’t effective in creating the major changes they sought.
Too many leave therapy and have no idea where else to turn. They return to a strained relationship with poor communication, and begin to consider separation or divorce.


Life-changing Therapy
I created the kind of honest, deep-digging, life-changing therapy clients tell me they were looking for in the first place, combining education, trauma interventions, and daily messaging and communication with the therapist that takes couples to a new level.
This is more than once-a-week therapy. This is an intensive immersion into changing your life. It’s for people who are tired of the same negative patterns, who might say, “If we don’t do this, what are we going to do?
Whether you’re in a full-blown crisis – or you can feel things quietly slipping – you don’t need endless sessions talking in circles, and I refuse to participate in it.
You need to understand:
- What’s actually going wrong
- Why it keeps happening
- Whether it can be repaired
- And what it would take to fix it.
That is my job, that is where I come in. Learn more about Becky here →


What Becky specializes in
Becky Whetstone, PhD, is a marriage & family therapist who works as a life coach helping individuals and couples with their relationships. She specializes in crisis management for marriages – helping people at the most difficult points in their relationships:
- One partner wants out, the other doesn’t.
- Repeated conflict with no resolution.
- Emotional distance or disconnection.
- Affairs or breaches of trust.
- Feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure of what to do.
This is focused, structured work designed to create clarity and direction.
Not in Crisis? That’s The Best Time to Act.
You don’t have to wait until things fall apart. In fact, it’s best not to.
I also work with couples and individuals who want to:
- Strengthen their relationship.
- Improve communication and conflict skills.
- Address patterns before they become entrenched.
- Build a more stable, connected partnership.
The earlier you address problems, the easier they are to solve.

Work With Me – With or Without Your Partner
You don’t need both partners to begin or to create change in your family.
I work with:
- Individuals wanting to work on themselves or are trying to decide what to do.
- The partner who wants to save the relationship.
- The partner who is unsure or leaning out of the marriage.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Start with a consultation.
A focused 90-minute session to assess your situation and identify what’s really going on beneath the surface.
2. Get clear direction.
In the consultation, you’ll leave with an understanding of your relationship dynamics and recommended next steps. After the session, Becky will send you her thoughts about exactly what you need. If she feels you are not a fit for her work, she will refer you to someone she thinks will be, or she will send you a proposal tailored to you to work with her in a structured, intensive program designed to create maximum growth and change.
3. Begin Intensive, Structured Support Program.
Becky offers structured programs tailored to her clients for designated lengths of time to give them the best shot at reaching their goals. The programs offer the option to be extended if couples want to keep engaged in the process..
