Meet Your Instructor

Dr. Mario Sacasa, LMFT

I am the associate director of the Faith and Marriage Apostolate of the Willwoods Community, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and host of the "Always Hope" podcast. I'm married and have four sons, too.

The focus of my career has been finding the points of integration between the Catholic-Christian faith and sound counseling practices. This integrated perspective informs all my professional endeavors. I regularly travel offering lectures to dioceses, parishes, seminaries, and college campuses on the themes of marriage, dating, sexuality, and hope.

I have over 15 years of marriage counseling experience and much of that wisdom is applied to this course. There's a whole bunch to learn about dating well, let's get started!
