Contact these independent providers directly for information and scheduling. Smart Stepfamilies does not receive any compensation if you utilize their services. 

  • Smart Stepfamilies is not responsible for the therapeutic modalities or personal ideology of those listed here; we are not endorsing their practice. We are simply acknowledging that they have completed Ron Deal's Smart Stepfamily Therapy training. Use discernment about whom you trust with your life circumstances.
  • Licensed therapists have their credentials listed. Coaches and/or mentors can help you "go from good to better", but are not licensed therapists who specialize in marital or relationship distress.
  • International providers are listed below U.S. providers.

Click the state where you live to see providers in that area. Licensed therapists cannot work in states in which they are not licensed. If you are looking for coaching from virtual providers, you'll have to review each state listing for coaches. 

What if you can't find anyone in your state or region? To find a local therapist for outpatient marital or family treatment, read How To Find a Competent Christian Stepfamily Therapist.
