💑 Supporting Couples Through a Christ-Centered Lens


Dr. Harry Motro is a licensed marriage and family therapist, life coach, clinical supervisor, and founder of the Couples Recovery Center.

 

With over 40 years of marriage and parenting experience, Harry brings not only professional expertise but personal testimony to his work with couples. His own walk with Christ and the trials and joys of a long-lasting Christian marriage have shaped a deep conviction: that God's grace, love, and truth can restore even the most broken relationships.

​

Harry sees his role as more than just a therapist—he’s a fellow believer walking alongside couples as they seek healing, renewal, and a deeper spiritual connection in their relationship.
 

❤️ Faith-Based Help for Real-Life Struggles


Harry specializes in helping Christian couples navigate some of the toughest seasons of life together—communication breakdowns, emotional distance, broken trust, infidelity, and major life transitions. He meets couples with compassion and clarity, guiding them to rediscover God's vision for their marriage.

​

Drawing on Scripture and sound clinical practices, Harry shows couples how biblical principles like forgiveness, grace, humility, and steadfast love aren’t just ideals—they’re practical tools for change. His approach honors the covenant of marriage while addressing real-world pain in a way that feels spiritually safe and emotionally honest.

🕊 When You Feel Stuck—There’s Still Hope


Many couples come to Harry after feeling disillusioned by previous therapy that didn’t honor their faith or failed to bring lasting change. Known for taking on complex, stuck, or high-conflict cases, Harry offers a path forward rooted in both biblical truth and effective therapeutic methods.

 

Whether you’re struggling with betrayal, long-standing resentment, or emotional disconnection, he helps couples move from surviving to truly thriving—together and in Christ.
 

🔧 Tools Guided by Faith and Wisdom


Harry uses a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Imago Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), all thoughtfully integrated with Christian values. Each couple receives tailored guidance that respects their spiritual beliefs and strengthens their relationship both emotionally and spiritually.
 

💬 Specialized Support for Unique Christian Journeys


Harry understands that not all Christian marriages look the same. He works with couples navigating blended families, parenting challenges, and differences in spiritual beliefs between spouses. He also offers expert care for neurodiverse Christian couples—where one or both partners may be autistic or have ADHD—helping them embrace their God-given wiring while learning how to connect in meaningful ways.
 

Through his work at the Neurodiverse Couples Counseling Center and the Adult Autism Assessment Center, Harry continues to offer specialized insight and support to couples seeking to thrive in both love and faith.

​​Parenting with Faith 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦​


Parenting is one of the greatest blessings—and greatest challenges—that God entrusts to a couple. Harry helps Christian parents approach this calling with unity, grace, and a shared spiritual vision. Whether a couple is navigating the early years, adolescence, or launching young adults, Harry offers practical tools rooted in Scripture to foster connection, consistency, and Christ-centered guidance in the home.
 

For many couples, disagreements about discipline, routines, or values can lead to conflict and disconnection. Harry works with couples to strengthen their co-parenting foundation, helping them resolve differences in a way that protects both the marriage and the children. Couples learn to respect one another’s parenting styles while aligning their goals with biblical wisdom.

  • Keeping a spiritual focus in a busy, modern life

💞 Healing Intimacy and Sexuality Through a Faith Lens


Sexual intimacy is a sacred part of marriage, but many Christian couples quietly struggle in this area—feeling guilt, shame, or just plain stuck. Harry helps couples gently explore what’s getting in the way of connection, whether it’s past wounds, unmet expectations, or distorted messages about sex from their upbringing or church culture. In a safe and judgment-free space, couples are encouraged to view sexual intimacy not as a duty, but as a God-given gift to be nurtured.
 

From differences in desire to betrayal trauma, Harry helps couples address sexual issues with compassion and clarity. He guides partners toward healing and reconnection, using both therapeutic techniques and biblical principles that honor the holiness of marriage. Couples are equipped to talk openly, without fear or shame, and begin restoring physical intimacy as an expression of love and unity.
 

Topics that may be explored include:

​

  • Mismatched desire or lack of intimacy

  • The impact of pornography or past infidelity

  • Emotional disconnection affecting physical connection

  • Shame, anxiety, or trauma related to sex

  • Understanding sex as worship and covenant, not performance
