Relationship and Marriage Counseling
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.

Irene Kraegel
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
It's not a secret that relationships take work - the work of learning to support, love, and encourage one another through thick and thin. Through relationship counseling, I can help you learn and apply practices to strengthen your commitment to one another in a way that is joy-filled and fulfilling.

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.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
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.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Sheri Hardin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW-CP
Let’s face it…being in a committed long-term relationship can be hard. Arguments can be recurring. Distance can take up too much space between you to where you feel like nothing but roommates. I can help you reconnect and find the love for each other again, or help you resolve your disagreements, learn how to fight productively, or heal betrayals or resentments.
