Thatcher Relational Dynamics
where we believe in weaving strength from within.
We help individuals, couples and organizations build connection and resilience through mediation and relational consultation and counseling. Our mental health services are provided via Thatcher Dynamic Counseling.
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.
At Thatcher Dynamic Counseling we 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.
In our relational consulting, we draw on the wisdom of attachment theory to help couples understand and reshape the patterns that weave their partnership together. Just as a thatcher works with the unique qualities of each reed, we honor each partner’s history, strengths, and vulnerabilities, recognizing that secure connection is built from small, consistent acts of care. By exploring early attachment experiences and their influence on present dynamics, we guide couples in cultivating trust, safety, and mutual understanding. Through this intentional process, partners learn to create a shared structure that is both flexible and enduring—capable of weathering challenges while allowing each individual to thrive.
Nature reminds us that strength and sustainability come not from quick fixes, but from grounded, time-honored practices. At Thatcher Relational Dynamics and Thatcher Dynamic Counseling, we walk alongside you as you gather the pieces of your story, weave what’s been weathered, and build something enduring.

Thatcher Dynamic 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.
