At Thatcher Relational Dynamics, we believe in weaving strength from what’s already within.
Like traditional thatching—where individual strands are layered to form something protective and enduring—we help individuals, couples and organizations rebuild connection and resilience through counseling, mediation and relational consultation services.
At Thatcher Relational Dynamics, our name is more than a legacy—it's a living metaphor for our work.
Just as traditional thatching involves weaving individual reeds or grasses into a unified, protective structure, we guide and facilitate individuals, couples and organizations through processes of conflict resolution and resilience. In thatching, each stalk has its place; no single piece carries the whole. Similarly, we believe that healing and relational health are crafted through small, intentional efforts—layered with care, strength, and a respect for each client’s goals and needs.
Our counseling services help clients identify the strands of their personal narratives—trauma, identity, values, coping—and work to interlace them into something resilient and whole. Whether through EMDR, narrative therapy, or relational work, we create space for growth that is both rooted and renewing.
In our mediation services, we act like the skilled thatcher who brings differing elements—stiff with tension or frayed from use—into alignment. With neutrality and compassion, we support dialogues that detangle complex relational dynamics to create common ground for mindful and holistic resolutions.
Nature reminds us that strength and sustainability come not from quick fixes, but from grounded, time-honored practices. At Thatcher Relational Dynamics, we walk alongside you as you gather the pieces of your story, weave what’s been weathered, and build something enduring.

Our services
-
Counseling
Where healing begins.
Struggles often build quietly—layer by layer—until we’re blocked from connection, clarity, and self-trust. At Thatcher Dynamic Counseling, we provide space and methods to explore and heal. Grounded in person-centered, trauma-informed approaches, our work focuses on uncovering root causes. We listen, reflect, and reprocess to strengthen your insight and capacity to heal.
-
Mediation
Where resolution takes root.
Like thatch beneath a lawn, unresolved conflict can build up quietly—blocking clarity, trust, and growth. At Thatcher Mediation, we use a facilitative approach to help individuals and teams clear through the tension, uncover shared understanding, and rebuild connection from the ground up. We don’t give answers—we guide the conversation that helps you find them.
-
Relational Consultation
Tools for connection, clarity, and repair.
We offer an exploration of what strengthens relationships—and what strains them. Whether for couples, teams, or communities, we guide groups in recognizing patterns, deepening communication, and rebuilding trust through interactive learning and reflection. Tailored for your specific needs we customize for couples, retreats, workshops and seminars.
