MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
My specialty is in marriage and family therapy. I have been fortunate to be trained by some of the best professors and trainers in the field. I am trained in the Gottman Method including being a Bringing Baby Home educator, and 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work educator. Additionally, I have completed training in using Gottman Method in infidelity and PTSD. I have also completed certification training in Discernment Counseling through the Doherty Institute. I am trained in PREPARE/Enrich.
I work with couples throughout the entire relationship spectrum from premarital counseling, to established couples needing assistance, to parenting challenges and including divorce/uncoupling therapy if necessary. I am not marriage neutral and prefer to help couples create mutually satisfying relationships wherever possible. I have additional training and expertise in working with ADHD couples, understanding the unique issues commonly found in relationships where one or both partners has ADHD.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach relationship and marriage counseling with a holistic and faith-centered perspective, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to guide couples toward healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Recognizing the significance of marriage in Christian teachings, I create a safe and supportive space for couples to explore their challenges, fostering communication and understanding. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, forgiveness, and commitment, I integrate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on marital virtues into the therapeutic process. I collaborate with couples to address specific issues, offering evidence-based techniques alongside spiritual guidance to navigate conflicts and promote relational growth. This integrated approach seeks to strengthen the marital bond, help couples align their actions with their Christian values, and foster a deeper connection that withstands the challenges of life within the context of their faith.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Margot Schultz
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.T.S., M.A., LPC
Over all the years of offering counseling, the one consistent theme I see again and again is that each of us truly wants to be in good relationships. If you are reading this, you are seeking to heal some misunderstanding or a wound that has occurred in one of your primary relationships. This taps into other tendencies in our human brains such as the need to clean up a mess. You might call this obsessing. What happens is that your mind circles around and around the problem or the argument, seeking a resolution. This is both a mental and an emotional process. Coming to counseling can help you get unstuck from this unending loop of thoughts and worries that you find yourself in. You will receive the support and tools that you need to feel resolution. There might be behavior changes to make in the relationship, so that conflict can become more productive. Most of all, you will gain insight about how to talk with the other person you care about, so that they can hear you, instead of turning a deaf ear.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
As a psychotherapist, I incorporate structural family therapy to work with couples by focusing on the underlying structures and dynamics within their relationship. This approach allows us to identify and address patterns that may be causing conflict or dissatisfaction. I help couples map out their current relational patterns, including boundaries and roles, and work together to reorganize these structures in a way that promotes healthier interactions. Through structured interventions, we explore how these dynamics impact their connection and communication. My goal is to empower couples to establish more effective and balanced ways of relating to one another, enhancing their overall relationship satisfaction and fostering a more supportive and cohesive partnership.

Philip Gnilka
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CPC, LPC, LCPC, CCMHC, NCC
Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of relentless arguments, struggling with issues like trust, communication breakdowns, or a lack of emotional intimacy? Perhaps the challenges you're facing have led to a sense of frustration, leaving you both questioning the viability of your relationship. It's not uncommon for couples to find themselves navigating through a maze of challenges—be it financial stress, parenting conflicts, or the pressures of busy lives. Do you find yourself thinking negatively about your relationship and wonder if this is as good as it gets?
In the midst of life's demands, it's easy for couples to feel overwhelmed and lose sight of the deep connection that initially brought them together. However, there is hope. Through counseling, you can reignite the passion, strengthen your bond, and build a more resilient foundation for your relationship. Imagine a life where communication is fluid, understanding is profound, and conflicts become opportunities for growth rather than sources of distress.
The Gottman Method is rooted in decades of research and has proven to be highly effective in helping couples achieve lasting positive change. Through this evidence-based approach, you will gain invaluable insights into the dynamics of your relationship, learn practical tools for effective communication, and discover ways to nurture emotional intimacy.
Embarking on this journey together is a courageous step towards a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship. Take the first step towards a revitalized relationship and reach out. I offer a complementary 15-minute consultation session for you to get to know me and ask any questions you may have. Prior to transitioning into private practice, I spent over a decade as a tenured professor in the counseling field. Throughout this time, I taught and supervised countless counseling trainees. I am enthusiastic about directly applying the knowledge and insights gained from this experience to help guide you toward a more fulfilling life.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. One of the most important is: Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it?
It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong."
Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy
Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too). Unless each partner believes that the other one is committed, they will not feel safe to take risks in facing, addressing and working out the real, underlying issues that affect the relationship.
