Doug Hinderer (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Happy Marriage For Life)

Doug Hinderer

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Happy Marriage For Life

Doug is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist whose passion is working with couples. He has been married for 42 years to his wife Shirley with whom he shares 9 children and 6 grandchildren.
Doug's passion is working with couples to help them live the married life that God intended from the beginning. He believes that at the core of every human being is the need to form safe emotional connections with the significant others in our lives. But, due to our fallen human nature, our unmet emotional needs often lead to negative patterns of interaction that bring pain to our relationships. Identifying these negative interaction patterns and helping couples replace them with positive ones is the heart of my approach.

In his practice, Doug integrates the science of psychology with what the Catholic Christian faith teaches about God's grand design for His people, especially within the dynamic of marriage and family life. Because of this passion for the sanctity of marriage, Doug limits his practice strictly to individuals and couples seeking help with their marriages.

His approach is highly directive using a combination of the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Forgiveness Therapy.
