Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
I have had extensive training and experience working with couples, married or otherwise. First and foremost, I do not take sides. Neither of you is to blame for the trouble you have with each other. Both oof you are doing the best you can. The trouble in you relationship is not because either of you is a bad person but because you’re using patterns of interaction that don't work. I can help fix that.
<br>Both of you are right from your own perspective. My job is to help you get out of the blame game and find ways to build bridges between your differences so you can get back to enjoying being together.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
I completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. EFT can benefit couples who are struggling with conflict, distress, and poor communication and help improve emotion related problems and build connection. It can also help family members form more secure bonds with one another. EFT has also proven to be a powerful approach for couples dealing with infidelity or other more traumatic incidents, both recent and past and relies on the significance of secure attachment.

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.
