Maggie Blaylock
Nate Blaylock (M.A., CLC) is a certified life and recovery coach who specializes in helping men understand and find freedom from unwanted and compulsive sexual behaviors. His work goes beyond simply trying to stop a behavior. He helps men understand the cycle underneath it, develop greater honesty and self-awareness, and build the skills and patterns needed for meaningful, lasting change.
Nate also works with couples navigating disconnection, broken trust, and relationship crisis. He is passionate about helping couples move beyond simply managing conflict toward rebuilding connection, developing healthier intimacy, and creating relationships that feel more honest and meaningful.
Nate’s style is practical and conversational, which can make it easier for people to engage honestly in difficult work. His relational approach is shaped by a wide range of personal and professional experiences in coaching, sports, sales, education, and leadership. He understands that change rarely happens in a straight line and would tell you that, while he is grateful for his successes, his mistakes have often been far more instrumental in shaping who he is today.
