Addiction takes a devastating toll on the struggler, the partner of the struggler, and the families.
Are you strained relationally, emotionally, and physically? Could it be that your story needs to be uncovered? Every person has a story and I find their stories so compelling - the joys, hardships, adversities, struggles, and passions. Life will throw all types of hardships we never imagined. You may have experienced loss, hurt, depression, or addiction and it seems impossible to sort it out. We all need relationships that provide support and wisdom to assist us during troubled times when we feel lost. My joy is to provide this path of growth to men because I have benefited so much in counseling.

"Taking courageous steps to a hopeful future" is our motto. Therapy is a very personal and intimate relationship in which you should feel comfortable and not judged. I strive to give you my all, so long as you're ready and willing. I do firmly believe that our upbringing affects how we view and interact with the world. However, it does not need to define us.

I work with substance abuse, couples, teens, young adults, families, trauma, spiritual counseling (any religion welcome), LGBTQ, and most mental health issues.
Life does not come with a manual. We have all faced life’s challenges, with some being more difficult than others. These challenges have shaped who we are and how we interact with the world around us. However, we can work together to change the outcomes of these experiences, build coping skills, and empower you. I am not just another therapist -- I truly enjoy seeing my clients grow and improve. As long as someone wants to work on themselves, I will be there along the way.

I focus on grief and loss, chronic/terminal illness, trauma, play therapy, parent coaching, couples, and families in crisis.
Things seem dark; you may be overwhelmed, but you are not alone. I believe that our relationships shape and define us, as we come to know ourselves by being known. We can feel broken by relationships, but relationships also have the power to heal as we begin to experience ourselves in a new and powerful way. This is a tremendously vulnerable, scary, and exciting place to be. Sometimes it takes reaching the point of desperation to take this leap into new and unknown territory. Change is always possible, and there is no such thing as "too late", but it takes courage to begin.

I’ve helped countless couples create lasting, loving relationships, and I can help you too.
How did it come to this? There’s a distance growing in your marriage, but you’re the only one willing to admit it. You repeatedly try to talk about it with your husband, but every time you do, he becomes defensive or brushes you off. “Why can’t he just listen and try to understand how I feel?” You’re so frustrated you want to scream! It’s painful to feel like you’re the only one making any effort. Sometimes you wonder if it’d be easier to just give up on this relationship altogether. But you’re not ready to throw in the towel yet. You know things could be better if only you could start communicating again. But you don’t know how.

We believe through a nurturing, positive relationship, we can explore root causes of depression, anxiety, and life dissatisfaction. Through this process, we can begin to re-shape the self to feel confident, peaceful, and hopeful. Change comes out of conflict, and healing begins when we feel safe. We will cultivate a space where you feel safe to explore your internal and external conflicts, and together we will move toward change.

Gary Dietz treats couples and individuals struggling with substance and behavioral addictions, including porn/sex addiction, as well.
Our mission is to help individuals, families, and groups explore the issues keeping them from a satisfying and fulfilling life. FWCAI's clinically trained therapists offer a variety of therapeutic approaches, seeking the best solution for each client. We offer an integrated approach to counseling, using a biblical worldview and our skills and experience to offer counseling from a Christian perspective, although we also use traditional and cutting edge therapeutic approaches and integrate them into our practice where helpful. Not every client shares our worldview, and this integrated approach allows us to serve clients not seeking distinctly Christian counseling.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
