About Dr. Johnathan Hines
Transforming Marriages. Restoring Men. Rebuilding What Matters.
Most couples who walk into my office have already tried everything. They've read the books. They've had the conversations that turned into arguments. Some have done years of weekly therapy that went nowhere. By the time they find me, they're exhausted - and wondering if there's any hope left.
There is. But only if you're willing to do the work.
I've spent over 35,000 clinical hours working with couples and individuals facing the hardest seasons of their lives. Marriages on the edge of divorce. Men trapped in toxic family systems they didn't create. Leaders whose success at work masks the chaos at home. I've seen what breaks relationships - and more importantly, I've seen what rebuilds them.
This isn't theory for me. It's my life's work.
My Story
I didn't become a counselor because I had it all figured out. I became one because I didn't.
I've walked through financial hardship, marital challenges, and health battles that brought me to my knees. Those experiences didn't disqualify me from helping others - they equipped me. I know what it feels like when everything is falling apart and you're not sure you have the strength to keep going.
That's exactly why I do what I do. I've been in the fire. And I've come out the other side with tools, wisdom, and a calling to help others do the same.

What Makes This Practice Different
I specialize. I don't generalize.
This practice exists to transform marriages and help men break free from destructive patterns. That's the work. I'm not dabbling in couples therapy between anxiety clients - relationship transformation is my focus.
Research meets faith.
I'm Gottman Method trained, which means I use interventions backed by four decades of research into what actually makes marriages work. But I also integrate faith-based principles because your marriage is both a relationship and a covenant. You need practical skills and spiritual grounding.
Intensives that match the intensity of the problem.
For couples in crisis, I offer marriage intensives - two to three focused days that accomplish what months of traditional therapy cannot. When your marriage is bleeding out, you don't need a weekly check-in. You need immersion.
I tell you the truth.
I'm not here to validate you. I'm not here to take your side against your spouse. I'm here to help you build something worth staying in. That means I'll challenge you. I'll point out the patterns you'd rather not see. Good work requires honesty, not just empathy.
Who This Is For
Couples who are serious.
You're not looking for a referee to declare a winner. You're not looking for someone to confirm that everything is your spouse's fault. You're ready to look at yourself as honestly as you've been looking at your partner. You want transformation, not validation.
Men ready to break free.
You've spent years being the family scapegoat, the fixer, the one who absorbs everyone else's dysfunction. You're done playing that role. You're ready to set boundaries, reclaim your identity, and build something better - even if it means some people won't like the new you.
Leaders who want alignment.
You've built something successful - but your personal life is paying the price. The stress is leaking into your marriage, your health, your peace. You're ready to get your whole life in order, not just your business.
Who This Is NOT For
I want to be direct about this because your time matters and so does mine.
This is not for you if you want someone to agree with everything you say. I will challenge you. That's how growth happens.
This is not for you if you're looking for a quick fix. Real change takes real work. There are no magic words that make decades of patterns disappear overnight.
This is not for you if you're not willing to look at yourself. If you're convinced the problem is 100% your spouse, your family, or your circumstances - and you have no role in it - I'm not your guy.
This is not for you if you want to stay comfortable. Transformation requires discomfort. If you're not ready to be uncomfortable, you're not ready to change.
If any of that scared you off, we weren't a good fit anyway.
If it made you lean in - let's talk.
The Approach
I integrate multiple disciplines because life doesn't fit in neat boxes:
- Clinical Psychology - Evidence-based interventions that work
- Faith Integration - Spiritual grounding without abandoning practical skills
- Physical Wellness - Because your body and mind are connected
- Nutritional Guidance - Optimizing the foundation everything else is built on
When you work with me, we address the whole picture - not just the symptom that brought you through the door.
Services
Marriage Intensives Two to three days of focused, uninterrupted work on your relationship. No waiting a week between breakthroughs. No losing momentum to daily life. This is for couples ready to do the real work.
Couples Sessions Ongoing support for couples who want to strengthen their marriage, improve communication, and build something that lasts.
Men's Coaching For men breaking free from toxic family patterns, rebuilding their identity, and becoming the husbands and fathers they were meant to be.
Discovery Calls Not sure where to start? A free call to see if we're the right fit. No pressure, no pitch - just an honest conversation about what you're facing and whether I can help.
Your Next Step
If your marriage is in trouble, don't wait another six years hoping it gets better on its own. The research says it won't.
If you're trapped in family patterns that are draining you, there's a way out.
If you're ready to do the real work - not just talk about change, but actually change - let's talk.
If you're not ready, that's okay too. But don't stay stuck. Either work with me or find someone who can help you move forward. Your marriage, your family, and your future are too important to waste.

"I've spent 35,000 hours learning what saves marriages and what destroys them. I'd rather spend a few of those hours helping you than watching you lose something that could have been saved."
