Marriage & Family Counseling
Who needs marriage counseling? There's an expression "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts". Healthy individuals make up healthy families. One individual in the family affects other parts of the family - just as one affected part of our body can affect the other parts of our body. Marriage and family therapy helps to sort through the many issues families struggle with.
With so much chaos and struggle happening outside of the home, it is so important that the home be stable, safe and a "sanctuary." Does that mean perfect? No, there are no perfect families, no perfect moms, dads, brothers or sisters. Struggles and conflicts in families are normal... while families aren't perfect they can learn, grow and heal from any hurts created.
There may be a need to deal with conflict in new ways, and better understand one another. Siblings may fight and compete with one another. Spouses may struggle with shared parenting roles. Someone may feel like the black sheep or sense that treatment is favored toward one child or not strict enough for another.
Marriage problems are part of life. It is a comfort to have an unbiased objective third person in marriage counseling and family counseling to coach and encourage new patterns and different ways to work through differences. Start counseling soon and experience healthier happier relationships.

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.

Kathryn Ziemer
Psychologist, PhD
Every relationship has its challenges. Sometimes it takes an outside person to help you and your partner work through these challenges in an empathic and objective way. I use techniques that have been proven to work. Together, we will create a trusting and safe environment where you and your partner can talk openly about the issues that divide you. I don’t take sides or place blame. Instead, I work to understand each of you as individuals and as a couple. Our work will focus on building better communication skills, having more positive experiences as a couple, and coping more effectively with challenges. Together, you and your partner can build a stronger relationship.

Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with clients who struggle with Relationship issues. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you get your relationship back on track. We will explore relationship based trauma and treat this as well as explore personality styles and differences. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently. Our goal is to make lasting and desired changes to promote healthy relationships and positive interactions.
