Marriage Counseling

If you are married and have lost the emotional bond you once shared or are dealing with the effects of an extramarital sexual affair, counseling is a critical step toward healing and strengthening the relationship.

Couples Counseling

Just like married couples, non-married couples who cohabitate can lose their emotional bond or be scarred by an affair, and counseling can help. Engaged couples can benefit from pre-marital preparation to get the marriage started in a positive way.

Individual Counseling

It is not uncommon for individuals to have difficulties living life. Some difficulties may be out of their control and some may be from poor choices. Unsafe places may have been in family origin, deep hurt from sexual abuse, unresolved anger from betrayal, and/or broken relationships from the past to name just a few places of hurt. Counseling can provide a safe place to explore and heal these past hurts.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

While David Jamison counsels both individuals and couples, most of his clients are couples who want to heal their marriages, and his main approach is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT focuses on attachment and bonding. The couple works with the therapist to form a more secure emotional bond, increase trust, and move the relationship in a healthier direction.

Christian Counseling

A clergyman for 20 years before becoming a full-time therapist, David Jamison integrates Christianity into his practice when clients agree to use Scripture as a resource in their therapy sessions. 

“I don’t preach to them,” Jamison says. “I see the Scripture as a resource of help. I see Christ and Christianity as a resource of help. We need a source outside of ourselves to let loose of selfishness and choose to approach relationships in a healthy way that’s going to honor God.”
“I don’t preach to them,” Jamison says. “I see the Scripture as a resource of help. I see Christ and Christianity as a resource of help. We need a source outside of ourselves to let loose of selfishness and choose to approach relationships in a healthy way that’s going to honor God.”
One of the most-used Scriptures in his marriage and couples counseling sessions is 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7, which speaks on what love is and what love is not:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true,
of infinite importance, the only thing it cannot
be is moderately important." C.S. Lewis

Marriage & Family Wellness Center Reviews

"Working with David Jamison has been one of the most important choices we have made for our marriage. We had some apprehension about starting marriage counseling, but now know that it was the right choice and we are grateful that we followed through with counseling. We have referred friends and family to David Jamison and would urge anyone considering counseling to choose Mr. Jamison"
