Paul Zohav holds a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Virginia and has over 30 years of experience helping couples in Tucson, AZ. He has worked as a chaplain, domestic violence counselor, and relationship coach — and is the author of Marriage and Communication: Recipes for Life. He was recognized in Marquis Who’s Who 2024.
Therapy often focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, exploring past trauma in depth. Marriage coaching focuses on the present — practical communication tools, conflict resolution skills, and building the relationship you want going forward. Paul’s approach blends both, using 30+ years of real-world experience to meet couples exactly where they are.
Never. Both partners need to feel safe and heard. Paul’s role is to help both people communicate more effectively — not to judge, assign blame, or favor one partner over the other. Every session is a judgment-free space.
Both. Paul works with couples of all backgrounds and beliefs. Completely secular sessions are available for couples who prefer a non-religious approach. Faith-based sessions are also available for couples who want Christian-based guidance. You choose what works for you.
If you are having the same arguments repeatedly, feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner, struggling to communicate without conflict, dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, or simply sensing that your marriage is not what it could be — these are all signs that counseling could help. You do not have to be in crisis to benefit. Many couples come before things get serious.
Paul listens to your situation, asks a few questions to understand what you are dealing with, and tells you honestly whether and how he can help. There is no pressure and no obligation. You will leave the call knowing exactly what to expect if you decide to move forward.
Absolutely. One partner starting alone is more common than most people think. Paul works with individuals on communication habits, self-awareness, and relationship patterns. Many couples begin with one partner and transition into joint sessions when both feel ready.
The first session is a 2-hour breakthrough session. Paul gets to know you both, understands the core challenges in your relationship, and creates a personalized roadmap for your work together. You will leave with clarity about what needs to change and a practical path forward.
Paul offers two main programs — the Marriage and Relationship Foundation starting at $575 and the Couples Breakthrough Intensive at $950. A free 30-minute discovery call is available to discuss which option is right for your situation. Special rates are available for military families and first responders.
Paul operates as a private-pay coaching service. This means sessions are not billed through insurance. However, a superbill can be provided if you wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance provider. Many couples find that the flexibility of private-pay leads to faster, more personalized results.
Most couples notice a genuine shift within 3 to 5 sessions. Paul’s approach is practical and forward-focused — you will leave every session with tools you can use immediately. The overall length of the process depends on the complexity of the issues and the goals of the couple.
Yes. Paul offers online sessions via Zoom for couples across Arizona and internationally. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person and can be scheduled flexibly around your life. In-person sessions are available at Paul’s Tucson office.
Yes — and it is one of the areas Paul has the most experience with. Healing after infidelity requires more than forgiveness. It requires honest conversations about what happened, why it happened, and what needs to change. Paul guides couples through this process with compassion and without judgment — whether the goal is reconciliation or closure.
Yes. Paul has over 30 years of experience counseling military families in Tucson including those connected to Davis-Monthan AFB — as well as law enforcement, firefighters, border patrol, and corrections officers. He understands these communities deeply. Special rates are available for military and first responder families.
Start without them. One partner making changes in communication and behavior often shifts the entire dynamic of a relationship. Paul works with individuals on the skills and awareness needed to improve their marriage — even when only one person is in the room. Many partners who initially refused eventually come once they see the positive changes happening at home.
Enjoy a satisfying fulfilling marriage that will grow to last a lifetime.
