About Dr. Todd Houchin

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Doctorate in Counseling, specializing in structured Christian marriage counseling for couples across Indiana.
As an LMFT, my clinical training focuses specifically on relationship systems — how patterns form, how conflict escalates, and how emotional safety is rebuilt. This systems-based perspective allows us to address the underlying relational cycles that keep couples stuck, rather than simply managing surface disagreements.
In addition to private practice, I teach graduate-level counseling courses in traumatology and advanced clinical skills. My academic work strengthens the depth and structure of the counseling process I provide to couples navigating conflict, trust rupture, emotional disconnection, or uncertainty about the future of their marriage.
My approach is intentional, calm, and structured. We focus on identifying destructive interaction patterns, strengthening communication at a deeper emotional level, and moving toward restoration whenever possible — or thoughtful clarity when needed.
For couples who desire it, I integrate a clinically grounded Christian framework into the counseling process. Faith integration is respectful and intentional, supporting both emotional healing and spiritual integrity.
Marriage counseling requires clarity, stability, and leadership. My role is to provide a structured environment where meaningful progress can occur.
