Roger Shaw Counseling

Welcome to Roger Shaw Counseling, where we combine Neuroscience with Common Sense to achieve Relationship Success. Our mission is to help couples let go of old unsuccessful habits and patterns of relating, equipping them with new pathways that lead to more successful relationships. With over 35 years of experience, our approach translates new discoveries in the fields of neurobiology and relationship science into practical strategies that enable couples to form more enduring and meaningful relationships.

Our Services

Our services focus on helping couples work together and individually, learning successful strategies for healthier, happier, and more satisfying relationships. We use a variety of practical and innovative approaches to move from theoretical ideals to practical realities. Our goal is to help couples become the right partners, not just find the right partners. This involves addressing a broad range of relationship issues, from communication and conflict resolution to intimacy and trust building.
