Relationship / Marriage Issues

Emily Palmgren (she/they)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

M.A. Marriage, Couple, Family Therapy

Our intimate relationships directly impact our wellbeing. It’s tough to feel centered when we’re feeling disconnected from our loved ones. In my work with partnerships, I emphasize mutuality, equity, and care. I want to ensure all partners are feeling heard - that you're really talking, and really listening. Whether you are seeking deeper intimacy or wanting clarity about where to go next in the relationship, I can support you towards meeting your relational desires.

Christopher Boothby (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Relationship work involves unpacking unconscious internal responses to our partners, rooted in the relationships we witnessed in childhood. My work with relationships draws from my training in Hakomi, and specifically the approach of Rob Fisher, author of Experiential Psychotherapy With Couples, as well as models such as those of Harville Hendrix (Imago work) and John Gottman. I also conceptualize from the perspectives of Attachment Theory (Bowlby) and Internal Family Systems.

Lolo Halman (he/him)

Professional Counselor

I work with couples who are deeply invested in their relationship but find themselves caught in seemingly intractable conflict cycles. I support these couples to reconnect to their relationship purpose, build awareness of their triggers and how to de-escalate in moments of activation, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and realign towards a greater sense of unity as a couple.

Kelle DeBruin (she/her/hers)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT, Supervisor

Counseling is an important part of both pre-marital and marriage counseling as it enforces healthy communication patterns and emotional connection with each other. As these understandings becomes more clear for the couple, areas of emotional connection, mutual respect, commitment and desire for each other continue to develop and become meaningful aspects in the relationship.

Polly Gravely MS, LPC, MFT (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Licensed in OR and WA

My foundation as a therapist is all relational. When we are stuck in ourselves, we are stuck in our relationships, and vice versa. I have a lot of specific trainings in couples work to help open up emotional dynamics so that places that feel tight, restricted and even hopeless can begin to open and change.

Sarah Howeth (she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

The heart of what I do is support couples and relationships in our community. You may be feeling lonely, stuck, hopeless, frustrated or misunderstood. You love and care about each other, but lately it has been feeling hard to connect. You want the sweet, easy connection and intimacy that you had earlier in your relationship, and mostly just long to feel deeply seen, heard and understood.

Studying relationships and how to help couples repair and build satisfying partnerships is one of my current passions.

Jordan Curtis (He/him)

It has been found to be clinically effective with low relapse.

Gemma Baumer (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A. in Counseling

There is no guidebook for being in relationship. We are often confused by the culture we live in which promotes the romanticization of beginnings, and the notion that another could meet our every need. This can be a recipe for disappointment, because relationships take continuous work and tending. Relationships are deeply activating for us as humans because our most formative experiences occurred in our attachment relationships, where we were intrinsically motivated to meet our needs to survive.

August Wagner (he/him)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

I have tailored my education specifically for working with couples and have a passion for helping people in love better express their feelings for one another. Chosen relationships are at the very heart of what makes life meaningful and can be a source of boundless joy. There is also tremendous stress and difficulty inherent in anything that holds such a valuable place. Conflict is normal, and can be done in a way that maintains (an even promotes!) authenticity, respect, and love.

Angie Tanyi (She/Her/Hers/Ella)

I have specialized training and experience working with intimate partnerships of all kinds. I approach relational work primarily through a culturally-responsive application of Emotionally Focused Therapy, which helps partners turn toward one another with vulnerability and authenticity and deepen their emotional bond. I welcome integration of sex therapy within relational work, recognizing sex as an important part of many relationships that can become loaded with complication and challenge.

ariel reiner (she/her)

As a society, we don't collectively have a proper container for marriages and partnerships, and so I seek to provide a solid ground and container where we work together to improve communication and deepen intimacy.

I strive to provide relational medicine, to help you reconnect in your relationships and experience the far-reaching benefits of emotional intimacy.

Deborah Kass MS, LCSW (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

MS, LCSW

Couples therapy transforms painful moments into opportunities for deep engagement. Partners learn to identify unproductive communication that distorts their desire to be understood and loved. I help partners express and receive the underlying messages they share in order to better know themselves and their partner.

Whatever the relationship issue is you are facing, we will work together to address the root causes of the pain.

I work with individuals only, not couples.

I have completed an EFT couples training as well as participate in an EFT couples consultation group. I weave in Gottman strategies, as well as Terry Real to build support. I believe humor can be an important part of therapy as well.

Laura Wozniak (she/her)

Robin Carlisle (She/her)

Professional Counselor

Everything in our lives has to do with relationships, or, how we relate. Whether it be to ourselves or others this is our primary lens in viewing the world. Our strongest held patterns are shown to us through intimate relationships. When we experience disruption in our relationships we are given profound opportunities to heal our deepest wounds.

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, NCC

We'll work collaboratively to decide on common goals for your relationship, discern unhelpful relationship patterns, work to understand why those made sense and helped you previously, and how to move forward with empathy for each other, meeting individual needs, and healthier relational habits. I use Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) based on Dr. Sue Johnson's experience and research to guide our relational work.

Day Adams (he/him)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MA

Conflict exists in all relationships, but it can get disconnecting and distressing. Habits, expectations, and values all impact how we collaborate with the people we love. Through talk about how we experience these things with our partners, we open doors to being able to relate in preferred ways and reconnect. I also work individually with people who have engaged in affairs and want to understand and change those behaviors, as well as individuals concurrently in couples/relational therapy.

Jenny Kepler (she/her)

Leif Moa-Anderson (He/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC

Whether you are a part of a couple (or poly) or just come in by yourself, or maybe it's about platonic or work relationships, this has been the main focus my academic studies. My Masters degree is actually in Systems Psychology, which is basically the perspective that an individual's psychology is driven, at least in part, by all of the systems with which they are connected or even have been connected. I have helped many clients improve their relationships with themselves and others.

Nani Waddoups (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Though it may seem like therapy cliche, exploration of our attachment style in our family of origin is critical in the illumination of adult relational patterns. How secure we are in the world of relationships is influenced by our earliest attachments. Are we trusting? Or are we in anticipation of a betrayal? Can we be authentic and transparent? Or do we fear abandonment and rejection?

Douglas Johns (he/him)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

I'm a relationship specialist: Collaborative Couple Therapy (CCT) is the sole focus of my practice; that's important because couple therapy is inherently different from other types of therapy. Effective couple therapy keeps the focus on the client-couple’s relationship patterns which takes skill to consistently follow, maintain, & interpret. I have 60+ hours of direct mentorship with the originator of CCT, Dan Wile, Ph.D. I provide a mature perspective refined through only working with couples.

Irma E. Llanes (she/her/ella)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

Relationships are complex. They require a lot of care & maintenance.

I have worked with couples that are dating, recently married, remarried couples, 'empty nest' couples, and same sex partners.

David Kremmel (He/Him/His)

Together, these approaches strengthen the relationship by promoting trust, empathy, and deeper emotional bonds

Liam Woods (he/him)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Masters In Counseling

One of my areas of passion is couples therapy and relational conflict. With the right support and container, conflict can be an incredible path to deeper intimacy. I specialize in helping couples move through blame and criticism and into greater trust and understanding. I often support clients experiencing triggers and reactivity, sexual issues, attachment conflict, and difficulty communicating.

Matia Kelly, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Couples choose to work with me for many reasons, but my approach particularly aligns with couples who have concerns related to failing to connect and/or understand your partner, navigating differing values, personalities and habits, two-career households, co-habitating, work/life balance, thinking about and/or making a long-term commitment, and life transitions such as the addition of a new child.

Jennifer Rocks, MA, MS, PsyD (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

MA, MS, PsyD

Listening to your stories and really hearing your concerns, I can help partners identify and understand their needs and goals for the relationship.

Yael Kievsky (she/her/ella)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

In my work with couples I draw directly from restorative and transformative justice, where I learned the values of radically shared wellness, a sense of wellbeing that is deeply accountable and co-constructed within each relationship (families, couples, polycules, etc). I have advanced training in EFT for working with couples, a compassionate and deeply effective attachment based approach for transforming relationship patterns.

Ashley Adler (she/her/hers)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

Master of Arts in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy

Conflict is a part of every relationship, but it doesn’t have to define yours. Maybe you and your partner(s) keep having the same arguments, feeling unheard, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You love each other, but something feels stuck. You want to break free from old patterns and build a relationship that feels more connected, fulfilling, and secure.

Michael Morales (he/his)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

Working with couples, especially in moments when everything is hitting the fan, is when I most come alive in this work. It allows me to bring all of my previous professional experience to the forefront. Working with youth in crisis (foster care, in-home, and community-based mental health), individuals in group homes (mental health and developmental needs), and a variety of agencies has prepared me for the range of challenges that surface in the couple relationship. It’s where I do my best work.

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed." -Carl Jung Opening yourself up to another person and developing true intimacy can be the most enriching experience imaginable. But so much can get in the way. Choosing the wrong partners, anxieties about getting close to the right ones, and being haunted by past relationship failures can scuttle your ability to make a satisfying and sustained connection.

Carrie Ivy (she/her)

Professional Counselor

Relationships hold our greatest learnings and help us to know ourselves more fully. Through them we get to experience love, joy, excitement, but also pain, conflict, and confusion. With my experience facilitating relationship conflict, both individual and two-party, I find there is a trove of valuable information in all that arises, which we will use to heal old dynamics and seed new growth.

No matter your relationship structure or the kind of love you share, relational therapy is a space for two people to intentionally reshape their relationship through feeling emotion, expressing emotion, and attuning to emotion. In relational therapy, we work toward equity, shared values, shared understanding, and genuine connection based on trust and safety.

Julia Bennion (she/her)

In working with couples, I utilize the Gottman Method, a well-researched approach to relationship counseling.

This therapy offers practical tools and interventions to enhance communication, build intimacy, and manage conflicts effectively.

Terri Mishler, PsyD

Clinical Psychologist

When relationships become more difficult or unfulfilling, talking with a therapist can enable the couple to make changes. Improvement in communication and feeling connected to one another are reasonable goals for therapy.

Jennie Towne

Licensed Professional Counselor

MEd, LPC, LMHC

Are you looking to create deeper connections in your relationships? Relationships can be challenging. Our desire for change is often only realized when we are already in pain. It can be difficult to admit we are struggling or unhappy. Through our work together, we will focus on healthy communication, setting boundaries, how to manage conflict, and create a deeper understanding of self.

Katie Eichner (she/they)

Clinical Psychologist

Ph.D

Humans need each other, and can also cause one another immense amounts of pain. We may use the therapeutic relationship as a place to explore relational patterns, practice new ways of being, and strengthen the capacity for intimacy and ability to navigate conflict. We may also explore how past relationships, starting in childhood, can affect current patterns and how to heal attachment wounds to promote deeper and more joyful connections with others.

Eight Matallana (she/they)

Qualified Mental Health Professional

I help individuals and couples identify the source of their reactivity or explore patterns, and then assist them in building new habits. This includes accessing vulnerability, nurturing one another's sense of self, staying connected and valuing themselves in order to have enough to give to the relationship.

Steve Harper (He)

Professional Counselor

LPC, MCOUN, MED

We are all unique in our expressions, and also follow predictable emotionally driven behavioral patterns due to our evolutionary wiring. Women and men can have similar needs while also perceiving and experiencing each other very differently. Uncovering this together can have profound improvements in reinforcing a foundation of trust and closeness. Improved communication begins with better connecting to ourselves.

Together, we will work to deepen your connection with your partner(s), helping you become more able to express your needs, boundaries and desires.

Congruent Therapy: Italia Hensley (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

MS, LMFT, CNM-Certified

Supporting you in fostering healthy and happy relationships, be that individually, couple, ethically non-monogamous, or polyamory, is my bread and butter. I believe in dependency and individualism in relationships. Many people do not like the word dependent, defined as "a person who relies on another." But what is a relationship? It is "the way in which people are connected." Connection and trust are the cornerstone of this. You must have both and it is my pleasure to help you find them.

Kathryn (Jasmine) Green (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, LPC-A, QMHP-R

I help partners address relationship challenges by improving communication, resolving conflicts, and rebuilding trust. Using evidence-based approaches like Gottman methods and Solution-Focused Therapy, I guide couples to strengthen connection and teamwork. For those seeking faith-based support, I integrate Christian principles, encouraging grace, forgiveness, and shared spiritual growth to enhance their relationship.

Sawyer Salameh (They/Them)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

I focus on addressing systemic struggles that encompass cultural influences, family dynamics, and interpersonal relationships. I view a couple as comprising three components: the two individuals and the relationship itself. My goal is to help you gain insight into your relationship, identify what is important to you, and determine what changes are needed. I work with each person to articulate their needs and desires, both for yourself and the partnership, facilitating clearer communication.

Emily Ross-Johnson (she/her/hers)

Relationships of any kind take work. Communication and understanding are at the forefront of all successful relationships. Building better understanding of each other, and learning ways in which to communicate effectively, with love and compassion are crucial to having a happy and healthy partnership.

Justin Little (he/him/his)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

David Hanna (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

So many of our challenges are rooted in our relationships with our romantic partners. Our romantic relationships are often our most precious, triggering, rewarding and conflict-laden relationships. Many of our conflicts in these relationships will never be resolved. We must learn to support our partners toward their greatest selves and vice-versa.

Nothing saps the joy from life more than relationship conflict. I love having the opportunity to help couples hear each other, to see the relationship from each other's perspective and recognize the need to work together.

Kate McNulty

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

My professional career has been devoted to the mystery of what it takes to have great relationships. After all, what is more important in life? I have trained intensively with John Gottman and Dan Wile, widely recognized experts in this field, and can help you quickly switch from ineffective to effective habits and behaviors, to bring you the loving relationship you deserve.

Jason Schaefer (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA

Has your relationship become dissatisfying? Are you wondering if this is all there is? Do you want your relationship to be a sanctuary, but don’t feel the necessary trust? Relationships are the yoga of the soul. No two relationships are alike and each one is packed with the specific emotional and soul work needed from the two participants in the relationship. Relationship therapy can help you unpack that work and help you learn how to relate from your authentic self.

I welcome couples in all phases of their relationship.

Natalie Thomas (She/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

QMHP

Marriage takes work. That’s one thing we know for certain. Learning to navigate another persons needs, emotions, the ways that they move through life and communicate can be really difficult. I believe that through solid communication, and staying firmly rooted in our sphere of control, healthy relationships will emerge. I work with couples, and individuals to navigate communication issues, and to shed light on individuals roles in the problems at hand.

Eric Abelow Blakeley (he/him)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

Whether it be issues with friends, siblings, parents, children, or within any form of a "couple", navigating one's needs and boundaries within a relationship requires work. This work involves learning more deeply about the internal impressions left from your earliest relationships, the strengths and challenges surrounding those, and moving more into the present with the way you relate to yourself and others.

Eric Nielson

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

A large part of my practice is working with couples. I think this work is particularly meaningful, as it gets to the heart of our ability to love and be loved. In my work with couples, I work primarily from a model called Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (often referred to simply as “EFT”). What I love about this model, simply put, is that it works. EFT has been well researched and has been demonstrated to be very effective with couples to facilitate lasting change.

Francis Aurora Otto (she | her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, RSMT/E

Our current struggles are often rooted in our earliest attachment relationships. These early patterns live in our body, in how we perceive and interact. By attuning to these patterns in a collaborative and compassionate way, we can learn how to rewire them and discover renewed resilience and ease.

Su Yim, MSW, LCSW (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

As humans, we are wired to connect. When our connections confuse or hurt us, we suffer. But it doesn't have to end there. By learning our individual and relationship patterns, we can turn our hurt into a chance for even deeper, more resilient relationships. Through emotion-focused therapy, we can learn to change the dynamics between us without assigning blame or stonewalling.

Sophie Bloch Miller (she/her)

There are countless ways to have fulfilling romantic, sexual and platonic relationships, and there is always something new to learn about our partners. I would love to help you with clearer communication, discussions about sex, exploring non-monogamy, negotiating boundaries, and more. During my Marriage, Couples and Family Therapy graduate program, I took specific courses in sex therapy and couples therapy, and I'm kink and BDSM inclusive.

Michelle Anderson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I love working with queer couples and relationships. I work within an emotionally focused framework, meaning connecting via our feelings is the key to gaining closeness and healing attachment wounds. We may also delve into how each person's "protective parts" and unconscious messaging received in childhood are contributing to an unwanted relationship cycle.

Patrick Bluett (he/him)

Working from an attachment lens, I help my clients uncover the ways their behaviors impede their ability to connect deeply with others and practice secure ways to improve their loving relationships.

Pearl Waldorf (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, MSed, LPC

Sometimes working with an individual or group therapist to sort through our relationship issues can save our most tenuous connections. Rather than placing the pressure directly on relational struggles that are founded on insecure attachment strategies, why not make room for ourselves to discover our deeper solidity and bring this back into our connections.

Emaline Friedman (she/her)

Our greatest vulnerabilities lie with our major relationships. My psychoanalytic approach to therapy is extremely well-suited to working with relationship, marriage, and family issues. I support clients in understanding relationship issues at the root and problem-solving in the present.

Rooted in attachment theory, my work focuses on helping clients feel safer, understood, and emotionally attuned.

Madeline Fox

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

We want freedom and intimacy. We want to feel like we’re at home and at the same time we want spontaneity. We want the security of deeply knowing someone but we’re afraid to let that person in. We seek everything from one person that a whole village used to provide. There are plenty of reasons why you might be feeling unsatisfied or hurt or betrayed or all of the of the above in your relationship.

Amanda Best (she/her/hers)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

LMFT-A

I specialize in identifying and helping couples break free from repetitive, unproductive patterns of conflict. Together, we'll explore the underlying issues and develop healthier ways to communicate and resolve disagreements. We'll develop conflict resolution skills tailored to your unique dynamics. You'll learn how to manage disagreements constructively, leading to greater harmony and intimacy in your relationship. My goal is not just to resolve the current conflict but to help you both grow.

Karel Chan

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC

How we learn to seek and then engage in relationships is formed in our earliest experiences with others: our families of origin, parents, caregivers. Whatever our environment tells us we need to do in order to be loved — even if it hurts or actually feels bad — we do. We will find and nourish those tender, scared, confused spots within you, so that you can embark on seeking relationships already feeling whole, ready to give and receive love courageously and open-heartedly.

Vinnie Gwozdz (He/Him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CRC, MS

Relationships are hard. Relationships are also a fundamental part of being human. Together in our therapeutic relationship we can explore this tricky conundrum of building and maintaining your relationships with family and friends and co-workers and romantic partners. This can be some of the most rewarding and healing work in all of therapy!

My work includes: partners who are dating, newlyweds experiencing challenges, empty nesters spicing things up, partners wrestling with separation, married, unmarried, traditional and non-traditional relationships.

Guy Burstein (he/him)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

MSW, LCSW

I help couples identify negative emotional interactional styles rather than assigning blame. One safety has strengthened, the underlying emotions or hurt, anger, fear, and sadness emerge that allow couples to more deeply communicate while re-establishing trust. With trust strengthened, we can negotiate differences, heal past wounds, and let go of disconnecting beliefs and attitudes.

Meghan O'Connor (they/them/she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

MA, MFT

Has a previously fluid and easy connection dissolved into fighting, blaming, emotional disconnection, or indifference? Differences in values causing stress or resentment? Wanting to reestablish intimacy and closeness? I have specialized training to help couples and individuals break patterns that cause fighting, improve communication, and strengthen connection.

Kathleen Thompson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CRC

I generally work with individuals, but what we talk about is their relationships. Like it or not how people related to us in our early life generally continues to impact our adult relating until we can recognize patterns & learn to manage the flood of emotions that can erupt when we are with the people you love most. Let's work together to repair old & more recent relationships.

Beverley Duke-Young (she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

B.S, M.S.

As a student of Terry Real's Relational Living, I embrace the principals of building and practicing respectful relationships, which often is learning to improve communication skills. Learning what you grew up in from your own family of origin suggests where some of the unhealthier attitudes grew out of. What kind of relationship do you want to create? What would you like to change in how you show up in your relationship? How will you feel when these changes are made?

Amanda Lowrey (she/her/hers)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MA

Utilizing Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, I work with adult families and couples in resolving various issues! EFT concentrates on strengthening trust and bond between partners, while looking at how individuals process their experiences, emotions, patterns of interaction, and attachment. The integration with the Gottman Method's practical tools and interventions allows us to explore together the "dance" of interactions and emotional attunement.

Alexandra Leichter LCSW, LICSW, MSW (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I have worked with couples and families throughout my career. I have experience working with couples who are in the midst of marital issues, and general problem solving for on-going concerns and with those who want to better understand one another but are not in any type of crisis. I have additional training in Gottman therapy and also a certification in ND (NeuroDiverse) Compass - a type of relationship therapy that is focused on working with mixed Neuro Type couples.

Cat Bice (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, LICSW

I practice relationship counseling from an EFT model which works best when both partners are interested in participating in counseling. This approach focuses on exploring the emotions underlying our behavior and healing old hurts by creating opportunities for connection. The sessions help couples see and understand their hurtful patterns of interaction, then change this cycle as core emotions and needs are attended to.

Jeff Guenther (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

I have a masters degree in marriage and family therapy. My training in couples counseling best fits couples that have been together a shorter time and would like to steer clear of repeating old unhealthy habits from past relationships. I see many couples that would like premarital counseling or couples that are newly married and experiencing some road bumps in their relationship.

Leslie Yeargers (she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LPC, LMFT, Certified Sex Informed Couples Counselor

Over time, we can lose the connection with our partner that brought us together in the first place. We become emotionally distant and out of touch with each other. By using emotion focused, non-violent communication, and integrative couples and sex therapy, I strive to help you strengthen your connection to each other and deepen your relationship.

Sarah Craycraft

Licensed Professional Counselor

Communication, conflict resolution, affair recovery, and boundaries are just a few topics in marriage relationships that I can help with.

Gayle Waitches

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, NCC

The quality of our relationships, particularly our intimate ones, is vital to our sense of life satisfaction. We need to feel connected, seen, loved and chosen. But relationships can also be challenging. Sometimes we rely on strategies that sabotage comforting connection. Creating a safe space to be vulnerable and unpack our protective and sensitive parts can allow for deeper intimacy.

Shawna Oliver, LCSW (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

It is important for couple to have a place where they can identify patterns that may be disruptive to the relationship. A place where positive both parties can be heard and communication can be strengthened.

Malia Graves

Marriage and Family Therapist

T2992

The focus of my degree was in using systemic therapy, meaning I look at how our relationships function and effect us. The earliest relationships we have with our families are a blueprint for how we interact with the world, especially with our partner. If you're feeling disconnected, learning how to resolve conflict and communicate can revive the spark in your relationship!

Tina Lilly, MS LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Relationship issues repeatedly surface in the clinical areas I specialize in (pregnancy, parenting, infertility, post-partum adjustment, dating, divorce). I also specialize in issues related to sexuality.

Christina Dunning (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Often times, coping skills that were helpful earlier in life become patterned ways of relating. While these can continue to serve us in certain situations, they can also get in the way of connecting meaningfully or can lead to conflict with those we love. In counseling, we can explore those patterns together and develop and practice new ways of relating and connecting.

Annette Smith (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

How we are within relationships can greatly affect our quality of life. I work with individuals to support their relationships to include open/non-monogamous relationships.

Emily Smith (she/her)

When our sense of communication and connection is “off” in our relationships, we can really suffer. I work from an Emotionally-Focused Therapy perspective with couples, and I help partners become aware of their relational patterns, provide space and guidance for processing conflict and emotional wounds, and help you lean into mutual vulnerability in order to strengthen attachment, love, and support within your relationship.

Amanda Fitzpatrick (She/they)

Marriage and Family Therapist

LMFT

I believe that we are conceived in relationship and continue to move in, out, and through relationships our entire lives. These relationships teach us how to love, how to hurt, how to learn, how to exist in our bodies, how to judge and hold prejudice, how to forgive. I am a dedicated relationship counselor and have pursued specific additional training for working with neurodiverse, multicultural, and polyamorous relationships.

Lorraine Storm

Licensed Professional Counselor

Every relationship experiences ebbs and flows, and while some degree of conflict is normal, at times it can get to a point where it seems impossible to solve it on your own. This is where a couples therapist can help. As a trained marriage and family therapist, I will help you better understand one another and reconnect to the love and excitement that made you fall in love in the first place.

Elizabeth Ellisan (they/them)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I love working with couples navigating the ways their relationship is changing over time. It is my goal to provide a safe, compassionate, and open space for you and your partner to identify what is working in your relationship and what isn’t. Seeking couples counseling is an incredibly vulnerable process and I strive to create a space where you feel safe to explore the tender parts of a relationship you’ve been nurturing for a while with your favorite human.

Sunya Grantham

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

I approach this work by identifying patterns of interaction couples find themselves stuck in. Work includes focusing on understanding the needs of the other and learning to appreciate differences. Work around infidelity consists of determining relationship commitment, examining the dynamics of the relationship before the affair, and rebuilding the trust of the hurt partner.

Jami Howell

I help individuals who struggle in relationships with their romantic partners, friends, family, co-workers and anyone else that is relevant in their life.

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, CMA

Relationships are the foundation of life. Quite literally. They are also where our greatest struggles arise, even in chosen relationships. This complexity can sometimes overwhelm and confuse us, while enticing us to lean into old patterns. You have stories. And they are welcome here... without taking over. Through an exploration of present and past experiences, I make use of experiential modalities to create new experiences that allow for an expanded sense of what is possible in relationship.

Heather Lokteff

I am trained as a Marriage Therapist and use a combination of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Gottman Method, and Sensorimotor Therapy to support couples in healing attachment injuries to develop a more attuned and satisfying relationship. Together we learn how to navigate conflict in a way that is productive and connecting rather than sweeping things under the rug and avoiding unspoken subjects. My goal is to help couples turn toward each other and develop trust and attunement.

Family Ties Counseling Center

Licensed Professional Counselor

Relationship Counseling becomes a safe place where both you and your partner(s) can find and rest in the deeper connection of the love you all share.

In relationship work/couples counseling, I want to help people develop healthy connections and attachments to the people they love and to themselves. I believe that my clients are the experts in their relationship, and it is my job and honor to help coach and guide them into more effective ways of relating. Many of us were not given models for what a healthy relationship looks like, nor how to disagree in ways that feel fair and just for everyone involved.

Tracy Bryce Farmer (she/they)

Greta Reitinger (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

Whether starting a new friendship or in the 40th year of marriage, relationships can rock us to the core. We are often driven by early attachment wounds, fears and needs. Wired for connection, we find fulfillment and health through social connection - yes, that goes for introverts too. If you are struggling to connect, therapy can help.

Ashley Parkinson (she/her/hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, CADC-I

Our relationships are the heart and soul of our lives--they often are what makes us get out of bed in the morning, and what gives us reason to grow, learn, and become better people. When our relationships aren't working, or when they are abusive, destructive, or harmful, we have difficulty functioning well in other areas of our lives. I support my clients in working toward healthy relationships through identifying the longstanding patterns that have become unseen obstacles to change.

Vedalia Zellers (she/they)

Clinical Social Work Associate

MSW, CSWA

Therapy is all about relationships, including your relationship to yourself, others, and any communities of which you are a part. Often, people's experiences of being hurt by others in past relationships interrupts their ability to form new connections that feel safe, joyful, and fulfilling. In therapy, we can work toward a deeper healing that paves the way for deeper connection.

Miranda Bayard-Clark, LPC (she/her)

Relationships can be hard, and just like owning a car, relationships need some regular maintenance to make sure it's running smoothly. Whether couples are healing from infidelity, adjusting to new roles as parents, or just coming in to improve communication, I support couples in their journey towards a deeper and more intimate understanding and connection. See my website for assessments offered.

Naomi Painter (she/her)

Relationships are hard. Even when things are outwardly going well, you may have a sense of dis-ease and doubt, or you may not be sure whether this is a healthy relationship. Talking with friends will only go so far. I can help you listen to yourself and elevate your partnership, even if your partner is not accompanying you.

Liz Ward (they/them)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

Relationships are hard! It is completely normal to have ebbs and flows in our relationships, especially if they are long-term. Just because it's normal to hit rough patches doesn't mean it's easy to navigate. I am here to help you navigate next steps in your relationship, whether that is making conscious and intentional efforts towards staying in your relationship, changing the agreements or structure of your relationship, or even if it means ending the relationship altogether.

Gillian Chachere

Qualified Mental Health Professional

I offer couples counseling to partners of all orientations and genders. Relationships are hard, and sometimes we need someone to help us hear and be heard. I establish firm ground rules and maintain them, making sure that everyone feels safe being vulnerable.

Donna Prinzmetal (she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

Struggles in relationships often have to do with individual stories and histories that are interfering in the present. Therapy can help couples find clarity when navigating an impasse, when trying to decide whether a relationship should continue, and can be effective when a relationship has lost its spark and there is a desire to enliven intimacy and connection.

Julianna Vermeys

Relationships are often hard, and yet they're also so often the core facets of our lives. Relational therapy is a great place to untwist what often feels like an unsolvable puzzle.

Together, we’ll examine these dynamics with curiosity and compassion, fostering healthier ways of relating and deeper emotional intimacy

I work with individuals who are struggling in some way in their current relationship. In these struggles we often find ourselves in a rut of thinking and a rut of communicating. In therapy my hope is to provide you a safe and non-judgmental space to connect to your own values, emotions and desires to help you gain more insight into your authentic path both in this relationship and in life.

Jennie Hayes, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

From the second we're born, relationships challenge us at our deepest level. Safety, vulnerability, shame, betrayal, commitment: they hit on our greatest fears and meet our fundamental needs. It's a place where we can grow the most and the fastest. I love working with couples because it's all right there in the room, in the moment, to be explored and unpacked and learned from.

Carrie Sturrock (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

Professional Counselor Associate

Relationships, whether a marriage or deep friendship, can be fundamental to our sense of security and safety in the world. When a relationship becomes challenging, it can feel frustrating and truly scary. Figuring out how to navigate relationship troubles by figuring out your own inner emotional map can help you regain a sense of balance.

Alexandra Leichter LCSW, LICSW, MSW (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

More often than not people reach out to me because they are having communication issues within their relationship. Miscommunication is usually the result of misinterpreting what your partner has said, having different communication styles and the way our brains take in and process the information during that communication. I help clients identify the patterns in their relationships and better understand one another - I provide education, skills and a guidance on how to be open and honest.

Carli Barnum (She/Her/Ella)

ALISSA BURNHAM (She/Hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, PMH-C

Most of my clients at some point in therapy discuss challenges in their primary relationship and/or marriage. We explore needs/values in relationships, attachment styles, and role models as a child to give us a sense of how you may want to move forward and/or what changes you'd like to see.

Sophia Kukladyer (she/her)

Our connections to others are the greatest assets and challenges. Outside perspective and support can be really helpful to address relationship struggles. Communication glitches are a common problem. I utilize Non-violent communication skills, family systems, narrative and other models/theories very effectively with individuals, couples and families.

PK Foss (She/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

I work from the Gottman Method of couples therapy, which is research based and tested and considered by many in the field, the most effective roadmap for helping relationships to become stable and happy. I also use Brainspotting as part of a wrap around couples therapy, to help each person move through issues that keep the relationship stuck.

Caitlin Truitt (she/her/hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LICSW

Past harm/trauma can cause us to operate off of relationship templates we learned from those who harmed us. We can get stuck in these patterns, often not understanding why. Other times, recent trauma can turn the relational equilibrium upside down. When one partner is struggling with the effects of PTSD, the other may have trouble adjusting or knowing how to respond. I work with trauma survivors and partners of trauma survivors to navigate these challenges and strengthen their relationships.

Amanda Sawyer

Jackie Turner (she, her)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MA, Marriage & Family Therapist Associate

​In couples and relationship therapy, I will compassionately challenge you to identify and grow from your well-worn patterns and do the brave work of stepping into more authentic connection with your partner. Healing comes when it is meant to, and often when we least expect it. Sometimes we have to move through the muck and the messiness for awhile before we reach moments of breakthrough. I provide a safe and positive container for you to move through difficulty and into deeper relationship.

Sarah Ellenwood (she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LPC, LMFT

I provide an EFT and experiential approach to relationship issues. I have worked with relationships that are a few months old to many decades long. Couples that are ready to change their communication issues and address hurts that need repair. I can help with discernment of relationship status and separation as well. I have worked with couples that are non-monogamous or who are considering opening up.

Gina DeLeo (she/her)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

M.A.

As a marriage, couple, and family therapist, I believe relationships are central to our experience of the world. I also believe that we often aren't given the relational tools we need in order to thrive in all relationships. Relationship counseling can be a transformative experience that provides new ways of connecting to yourself and to your partner(s). I typically utilize emotionally focused therapy and experiential therapy when working with couples and relationships.

Jason Wilkinson (He/Him)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

MA, MDiv

My desire to see people living as their best selves has motivated me to gain the necessary skills to be a marriage and couples counselor. If you ever once thought or believed that you were your best self alongside of your partner or spouse, and you are curious if you can be that way again, then I have the training to help you grow in communication and compassion to help you find out.
