Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Before, during, after a marriage. What couple doesn't benefit from a little tune up now and again? Is it communication? How can we express ourselves authentically without letting our trauma get in the way? Are we actually listening? Communication is a set of skills that can be learned, honed, and practiced over time. It is not the magic cure to all that ails, but it is a helpful first step. When a couple is able to communicate effectively they are able to deepen their exploration of each other and start to connect and heal in meaningful ways.

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 26 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
Infidelity by a partner is caused by one persons issues, not the couples issues, and the distorted thinking and self destructive behavior by that one partner is corrected by fixing that one members distorted views, and thus eliminating that self destructive behavior from that person.
I am an absolute expert at correcting the distorted thoughts and perceptions that create infidelity. I have been doing it for 25 years, as part of my full time practice in one specific area, sexual misbehavior.
I have vast experience in both men who cheat in the classic find a unpaid partner, and I am also extensively experienced in cases where the man uses paid services to act out sexually.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I work on both ends of the relationship funnel - those going in , those stuck in the middle and those going out. Relationship dynamics are complicated but building the connection is easy. Through building communication skills and listening techniques, it is possible to see things clearly. I use CBT, CCT and EFT to effectively cut through emotional clutter to get you back on track.

As a Life Coach I have been married for a relatively long time and that 3 times!
