Marriage Counseling & Coaching
Growing up inside
your marriage.
Since 2002, the goal has been the same: helping couples and individuals live life fully alive. Not just getting along — growing up, waking up, and becoming who you’re capable of being inside your most important relationship.

The approach
Beyond the standard model.
Sexual-marital therapy.
My approach is more aptly described as sexual-marital therapy and coaching. Beyond the treatment of normal dysfunctions, the goal is to help clients achieve their fullest sexual potential — and, in the process, become more independent, grown-up, emotionally free, and spiritually developed human beings.
“Nobody’s ready for marriage — marriage makes you ready for marriage.”
— David Schnarch, Passionate Marriage
Instead of quick tips and communication scripts, we work on building emotional maturity, personal integrity, and long-term relational strength. The goal is a marriage that keeps getting better because you keep becoming better.
Therapy vs. Coaching
If you live in Texas, services fall under a therapy relationship. Outside Texas, services are set up as coaching. Both follow the same differentiation-based approach. See rates →
If you’re searching for marriage counseling, relationship coaching, or Christian marriage help, these are the areas Dr. Allan works through most often:
How we meet
In person, online, or intensive.
Your choice.
Whether you’re in the DFW area or anywhere in the world, there’s a format that works for your situation. All options follow the same differentiation-based approach.
Office sessions in Allen, TX
I see clients in my office at 1506 N Greenville Ave #240, Allen TX 75002. Many couples work together on a weekly or every-other-week basis.
Zoom sessions from anywhere
All you need is a webcam and decent internet. If you’re working as a couple, you sit together in front of a computer — the process is the same as meeting face to face.
Paperwork is completed online before your first session. We set an appointment time and meet at your scheduled time in a distraction-free space.
Multi-day intensive sessions
Closely spaced, longer sessions offer several advantages over traditional weekly therapy. Many couples fly in from across the country to jump-start their healing and growth journey.
Who I work with
Couples, individuals, and everyone in between.
A bulk of my clients are couples — but I also work with men and women individually. You don’t need your spouse to be on board to start.
Working together or individually
I work with couples together or with each partner individually, depending on the circumstances. If your spouse isn’t ready to come in, start on your own — most spouses eventually join at some point.
If they never do, you’re still working to get better. That’s still a positive.
Accelerated, immersive format
Closely spaced, longer sessions for couples who want to move faster. Ideal for deep issues, time-limited schedules, or couples who’ve been stuck for a long time.
Discovering your heart. Living fully alive.
Working with individuals who long to discover who they really are — and live a life that reflects it. You don’t have to be in crisis to do this work. You just have to be ready to grow up.
Rates & payment
Packages designed around your goals.
I offer a couple of different packages to choose from so you can pick the one that fits your goals best. Whether you’re starting weekly sessions, planning an intensive, or working individually — there’s an option that fits.
Insurance: In Texas, I’m an approved provider within the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas and Cigna networks. Double check with your provider to ensure your plan covers mental health services.
Insurance companies typically do not cover coaching or consultation services. HSA funds may be used for coaching services — check with your provider first.
View full rates & packages →Please provide 24 hours notice for cancellations. Otherwise, you’re responsible for half the cost of the scheduled appointment — or if you’re part of a coaching package, you’ll lose the missed session. Refunds are not offered on unused package sessions.
In Texas, services fall under a therapy relationship. Outside Texas, services are set up as a coaching relationship — focused on personal and relational development, not the treatment of psychopathology. If coaching isn’t the right fit, I’ll help you find a licensed therapist in your state.
Texas clients: BCBS of Texas and Cigna accepted — verify your plan covers mental health services. Outside Texas / coaching: Insurance typically doesn’t cover coaching. HSA funds may apply — confirm with your provider.

While Dr. Allan is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas, therapy services are not offered across state lines. Outside Texas, services are structured as coaching — focused on personal and relational development, not the treatment of psychopathology. If coaching isn’t the right fit at any point, Dr. Allan will help facilitate finding a suitable licensed therapist in your state.
