Couples Counseling
Cultivating a marriage that gives you energy, communication skills creating great respect for yourself and your partner, navigating hard topics with confidence, being securely attached and fully known.
Couples counseling is a specialized skill set. Not all counselors have the experience and demeanor needed to handle the complexities. Nathaniel has a special ability, experience, and training, to see past volatility and anger, and into the real needs couples are trying to express. He gently guides couples to experience deeper levels of connection and intimacy. Nathaniel trained under Sue Johnson, the creator of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Sexual Integrity
Pornography, affairs, and lies destroy relationships. They cut deeply at our core and corrode marriages and families. Left unchecked, divorce, job loss, and personal ruin are common outcomes.
Nathaniel will guide you through a process for betrayal healing and affair recovery he’s developed after years of experience. You will feel known and supported as you pick up the pieces of shattered lives to create something new. Nathaniel carefully weaves his own story into this process. In helping couples and individual heal from sexual addiction, we focus on the 3Rs: Recovery, Relationship Repair, and Redemption.

Coaching
Leveraging strengths to propel you forward, identifying obstacles to overcome, developing dreams and goals, nurturing wholistic health to become the best you.
Nathaniel taps into the substance of who you are. This approach is not the latest, greatest self help. It is not behavior modification. This process is a deep dive into you, your unique bent and abilities. As you learn and trust your truest self, you can engage the world around you from your greatest strength. With a Master of Divinity degree, Nathaniel can easily engage your spiritual world, incorporating all of who you are and are meant to be.
Speaking
Focused, compelling, from the heart, rooted in lived experience, anchored in faith.
Nathaniel spent more than 10 years in the pastorate. He has a vision to help the church redefine what it is to be a man. We need to stop being reactive against, and start being proactive towards wholistic images of manhood—one that incorporates mind, soul, heart, and strength.
“Nathaniel Gustafson helped save my marriage. When I hit rock bottom and destroyed my life and my marriage as a result of my poor choices, Nathaniel was the one who walked with us through an incredible journey of recovery. Nathaniel is kind, patient, compassionate, and has a gift for connecting head knowledge with heart change. If it were not for his enduring commitment to helping me do life differently, I would not be where I am today. As a result of his counsel and leading my marriage is thriving, I am making good decisions, and the trajectory of my life is positive. I trust Nathaniel with my life.”
