HURTING AFTER BETRAYAL IN YOUR MARRIAGE?
Heal Your Christian Marriage with Betrayal Trauma Therapy
From Betrayal to Breakthrough: Rebuild Trust, Restore Love, & Rediscover God's Plan for Your Marriage
Hi, I’m Rhonda Marie Stalb!
I help married Christian couples through betrayal trauma therapy, guiding those who are ready to take ownership of their healing progress, acknowledge their part in marital struggles, and pursue genuine emotional and spiritual transformation.
By the time you reached out here for marriage counseling, you felt every day was heavy and like a dark cloud was hanging over everything you did. There was this constant tension in the air—one of you trying to act normal while the other was on high alert, suspicious of every little thing.
I can imagine that you wake up and feel the dread settle in, wondering if you’ll make it through another day without a blow-up or another accusation. You’re going through the motions—taking care of the kids, managing work, and keeping up appearances at church—but the truth is, you feel miles apart.
There’s no trust left, and every conversation feels like a grenade waiting to go off.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Let’s rebuild trust, deepen intimacy, and restore the Christ-centered connection that forms the foundation of your marriage, so that you can experience the marriage God intended for you—full of love, grace, and mutual respect. Even if you're struggling with hurt, betrayal, or doubt, healing is possible with the right guidance and support.

Helping Married Christian Couples Rebuild Trust with Betrayal Trauma Therapy
You lie in bed at night and you’re feeling like you and your spouse are on opposite sides of the world and you just want to connect. And your tired of the same arguments.
Past hurts, lies, and betrayal make your marriage feel exhausting and like it will shatter at any given moment.
You’ve been feeling numb, angry, betrayed, hurt, hopeless about your marriage, and suspicious of your spouse’s actions.
You’re compelled to check your spouse’s phone and feel obsessed with what they’re doing so you’re not caught off guard (something you promised not to do anymore). But there it was—another message that left you feeling gutted, like the betrayal was happening all over again.
How Betrayal Trauma Therapy Works
FYI… I’m not your typical therapist. I’m not here to keep you in therapy for years. My role is to help you reach a healthy place in your marriage and life. I guide you in consistently using the tools you’ve learned, taking ownership of your choices and their consequences, and building trust in our therapeutic relationship. My goal is to equip you to maintain a healthy and spiritually mature life beyond our sessions. Your progress depends on how well you implement and maintain the tools.
That’s also why I don’t compete on prices and fees for therapy. I know the skills, expertise, attention, and dedication that I bring to the table. I also know that because of my skills and expertise, I work extremely hard to get you in and out of therapy as quickly as possible so you aren’t spending a lifetime sitting in therapy. And because of all of that, I don’t compete on price.

"Our last counselor just plain out told us to get divorced and I felt like they just gave up on us. Rhonda really worked with us & gave us practical steps to apply to our marriage. The more we used what we learned in therapy, the better our relationship was. She didn't look at us like we were hopeless. Every-time we leave a session we believe we can make our marriage work!"

A few other things you need to know about what to expect and my approach to our therapeutic relationship…..
I don’t believe in assigning blame or making either spouse feel shamed for what’s happened. Betrayal Trauma Therapy should be a place of grace, not condemnation. I don’t support approaches that dwell on guilt or shame, which only deepen the wounds and push couples further apart. Instead, I focus on accountability and growth—helping each person own their part while still honoring the pain both of you are feeling. When you come to me there’s no quick fixes or band-aid solutions because healing from betrayal takes time, intentionality, and commitment. If you’re looking for a short-term approach that glosses over the deep hurt or tries to move past it too quickly, this isn’t the place for that. I’m committed to walking with and helping couples who are ready to do the difficult, heart-deep work that leads to real, lasting transformation.
My therapy approach doesn’t avoid tough conversations. While therapy should be a safe and compassionate space, it’s not about avoiding the hard truths. I don’t shy away from uncomfortable conversations or difficult emotions. I believe real healing happens when we confront the pain with courage, honesty, and grace. If you’re looking for a place to hide or bypass the hard work, that’s not what I offer. I’m here to walk with couples who are ready to face their challenges head-on, knowing that God is with us in the process.I won’t participate in approaches that focus on superficial changes or behavioral modifications without addressing the heart issues underneath. Betrayal trauma impacts not just your marriage but your sense of identity, trust, and faith. I believe therapy should go beyond surface-level to foster genuine emotional and spiritual transformation, so I guide couples who are ready for deep, lasting change.
I also need to share that for me, God’s presence and guidance are central to healing. If you’re seeking an approach that sidelines Christ-centered faith or ignores the spiritual component of betrayal, I won’t be the right fit. I won’t participate in sessions that neglect the importance of inviting God’s transformative power into the process. I believe that the Holy Spirit’s work is essential in restoring brokenness and renewing hearts, and that’s a core part of how I guide couples.
And finally, while I honor your pain and recognize its impact, I don’t support staying stuck in a cycle of hurt, bitterness, or hopelessness. I’m committed to helping you move forward, not stay trapped in past wounds. My approach is about finding healing, hope, and redemption—working toward a future where trust and intimacy are possible again.
My goal is to create a space where you can find real faith, healing, and Christ-centered transformation, not a place of blame, avoidance, or quick fixes. If you’re ready for genuine healing and a renewal that restores both your marriage and your heart, I’m here to guide you.
