Dr. Tim Stauffer

Areas of Specialty:

Dr. Tim Stauffer, a full-time counseling professor at Liberty University, has limited clinical availability. He works with highly motivated couples and individuals in three areas of specialty and focus. He will provide referrals for counseling needs outside of his scope of practice:

​

   1. Marriage Counseling & Enrichment

​

​

Additionally, Dr. Stauffer is dedicated to helping couples with challenging relational and sexual betrayal issues. He is confident that many more traumatized marriages can be saved with evidence-based interventions grounded in time-tested theories. Building a good marriage takes hard work. Most people see the investment of time and resources as helpful. Marriages that have suffered betrayal and deep trauma are not a lost cause, and with a healthy dose of courage, humility, and honesty, couples may be able to build a mutually satisfying marriage.

​

Some couples seeking counseling are not ready for traditional relationship-enhancing marital therapy. It is not uncommon for either or both individuals to be ambivalent about repairing or building a healthy marriage following relational betrayal. One person may lean towards divorce, while the other wants to save and repair it. Dr. Stauffer will help you do this essential work before starting more traditional relationship-enhancing therapy.

​

Starting in the Spring of 2023, Dr. Stauffer will offer a limited number of two-day (10 hours) marital intensives. This approach is not for everyone but is an excellent option for others. Please visit his website for additional information and reach out to Tim with questions you may have.
