Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Relationships are special and take considerable work. It doesn't matter if you are seeking a therapist to help you early in your relationship before "stuff happens" or are trying to back up and address longer standing patterns, I can help you be a strong "Us". When working with relationships we are going to talk about ways to make you a team and help you improve the ways you talk with each other to increase your understanding. The Gottman's talk about "Masters" and "Disasters" - I can help you be the former.

Rick Tivers
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CGP
Highly focused on both the individual in the marriage and the unit as a separate entity. Direct, open and honest communication is used as a mirror for healthy yet honorable communication between all parties involved. I look at the CORE issues in the relationship struggle which supercedes ineffective communication skills.

Theresa M. Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
Working as a couples and family therapist for over 20 yrs, I have seen marriages come back from the brink. These couples have one thing in common willingness verses willfulness . Growth in each individuals, serves best functioning within the marriage. There are certainly more complex situations such infidelity, addiction or personality disorders that negatively impact continued connection, however with relational trauma exploration and acceptance therapy , forgiveness and compassion can happen. I am trained in Imago Relational Therapy , Family Systems Therapy and Complex Relational Trauma treatment and Acceptance Therapy to enhance clarity and direction.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
My work with couples often focuses on finding the underlying conflict and/or unmet needs that can end up festering and eroding the foundation of the relationship. I help each partner discover these needs and communicate in more accurate and productive ways. This can help each other genuinely want to understand and meet each other's needs, instead of deny/defend patterns that may exist. In cases of various forms of infidelity, after the direction and goal of therapy is explored, we may examine conditions that led to the behavior and learn from them to build a stronger and healthy relationship. Moreover, this process can help toward establishing long term forgiveness and trust. It can be surprising what is possible to overcome and how much better things can be.

Faye Williams
Therapist, Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Sometimes it takes an outside and objective, bird's eye viewpoint to make the connections you need to stay connected- or not! Every relationship faces its own unique challenges. Whether you're experiencing communication breakdowns, conflicts over finances or parenting, or struggling with trust and intimacy issues, know that you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I'm here to provide you and your partner with the support, guidance, and tools you need to rebuild trust, enhance communication, and cultivate a deeper, more fulfilling connection.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Relationships are central to knowing who we are and thus have an enormous impact on our mental health. We often downplay to ourselves that frequent or underlying problems in our relationships are "enough" to feel anxious, sad, or angry about. As a result we often misplace the source of distress solely upon personal failings. Much of my work focuses on helping you clarify what you want and need relationally, working out what is making it hard to communicate those wants and needs, and empowering you to try some new things with your loved ones.

Ken Aaron Burnstein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW LCSW
I have had many years of experience working in couples therapy. My approaches includes, building communication skills, and working with the couple to reduce reactivity and defensiveness to be able for each person to listen and understand their partner in an empathetic and caring way. This helps forge a path for the couple to work together, resolve their concerns and build the love and caring back in the relationship.

Relationship issues cover a vast array of areas in our lives. We have relationships with our immediate families, extended families, friends, romantic partners, co-workers, and supervisors -- just to name a few! At times, these relationships can become complex, or even toxic to our well-being. Understanding how to best navigate your current relationships, and even uncover patterns of relating, can greatly improve your relationships and reduce overall stress in your life.

Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Not all couples come into counseling because of a crisis in their relationship. Many clients that I see describe a parallel functioning to their relationship- almost like 2 ships sailing on parallel paths but not really every connecting. There are few things more painful that being lonely when you are not alone but with a partner. Therapy can help to address that and to give you the skills and understanding to make changes in your relationship.
