Practical resources for the hardest conversations the couples in your care will bring to you.
With you from the first call.
- What is said here stays hereWe do not share what is said in a session with anyone.
- There is help paying for coachingWhen money is the reason someone never calls, another family can cover part of the cost. Ask us about sponsored coaching.
- In person or from homeMost sessions happen by phone or video. In-person sessions are available in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
We are coaches, not licensed counselors or therapists. We do not diagnose and we do not treat mental health conditions. If licensed care is what you need, we will say so plainly and help you find it.
Waymark Inc. continues the work of Dr. Jim Talley (1942–2025), who spent more than fifty years sitting with couples at the worst moment of their marriage and telling them the truth: that the way back exists, and that it is walked one honest step at a time.
Questions people ask first
What is the Talley method?
The structured approach to reconciliation that Dr. Jim Talley developed and taught over more than fifty years of work with couples. Waymark Inc. carries it forward.
Do I need to be a licensed counselor?
No. This is coach training. It does not make you a licensed counselor or therapist, and it teaches you when to refer a couple to licensed care.
Is the training available in Spanish?
Yes. We train coaches and leaders in English and Spanish.
There is a way back. Let us help you find it.
