Who this is for
Couples in Shawnee and nearby
From Shawnee, Tecumseh, McLoud, Seminole or anywhere in Pottawatomie County, an in-person session is a short drive.
Couples who want privacy
In a town where everyone knows everyone, what is said in a session stays there. A phone or video session from home is always an option.
Spanish-speaking couples
Every session is available in Spanish or English, with the same people and the same process.

A plan you both work
A clear structure with steps between sessions, built on Dr. Jim Talley's fifty years of work with couples.

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.
