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.

Merritt Posten Benz
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.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been married over 40 years so I can tell you, relationships are hard but so worth it. I love working with couples to help them realize what really is normal and messy and how to navigate normal and messy. I will listen to you and your partner describe what each of you see as an issue, then hear your examples and teach each of you how you can approach the situation differently to give you a better outcome. Couples come in thinking they are going to tell me everything that is wrong with their partner and to fix them. I help individuals realize how their own actions can change the outcome. Once everyone focuses on doing their own work, then they see the desired outcome in the relationship. It sounds uncomfortable, but it's really a lot of fun and we laugh a lot.
