Dr. Kenneth C. Newberger

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Ken Newberger is a conflict resolution specialist with a Ph.D. in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from Nova Southeastern University, where his doctoral research produced the Reconciliation Model of Peacemaking, the framework behind his work today.  Over the past 25 years he has worked with people from all walks of life — premarital couples, married couples in every age bracket, extended families, estranged family members, workplace staff, business partners, and organizations facing multi-party disputes.  Since 2013 he has worked exclusively with couples, helping more than 500 strengthen their relationships and marriages. 

Dr. Newberger works with couples of every faith background and of none.  Some want a strictly secular process, others want their own tradition at the center of the work — both are welcome, and the couple decides. Dr. Newberger's most recent book, "Hope for Troubled Marriages" (2026), is available as a free eBook.  He is also the author of "Hope in the Face of Conflict" (2011) and the developer of "The Conflict Analysis Tool."  The CAT is central to his work with couples today.  He has taught master's-level students at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, in its Department of Peace and Conflict Studies, and served as an Approved Educational Provider for the National Board for Certified Counselors.  He is a Certified Facilitator for the Prepare-Enrich Couple's Assessment.  Dr. Newberger has written dozens of articles for various publications and has been interviewed more than 20 times on radio and television.  In 2026 alone he has been cited as an authority in three articles relating to a couple, a mother-in-law, and a CEO.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Ken has been happily married to Mary for fifty-one years.  They raised three sons, now have three daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren.  As appropriate, he will share personal insights gleaned along the way to help the two of you.  As actor Errol Flynn said to actress Olivia De Havilland in a classic 1941 movie, so Dr. Ken says to Mary, Walking through life with you, ma'am, has been a very gracious thing.
