Couples counseling can be one of the greatest gifts you give your relationship. I can help you have the hard conversations, reconnect, strengthen an already meaningful bond and find clarity around issues that continually crop up. All relationships have their challenges and conflict is normal. Working through concerns with a therapist can help you finally find resolution.

Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
Are you feeling down or stuck in your relationship or marriage? Perhaps you are overwhelmed and not even sure what is going on. I get it. I have been in such relationships, and even in a bad marriage. There may be abuse going on, though there does not need to be to seek out support. I offer a complimentary session so we can talk a little bit about what is going on and if counseling with me can help you. Life is too short to not resolve whatever it is that is bringing you down and causing you stress and unhappiness. I hope you will reach out and schedule a complimentary session. Let's find out how I can help you.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I embrace a supportive and empathetic approach towards relationship and marriage counseling, acknowledging the unique journey each couple undertakes. By weaving together a rich tapestry of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Role-Playing, Emotional Family Therapy (EFT), and Imago Therapy, we collaboratively address the heart of relationship challenges. This integrative approach not only uncovers the roots of conflict and communication breakdowns but also nurtures a deeper connection and understanding between partners. Through these varied techniques, couples learn to navigate disputes, rebuild trust, and enhance emotional intimacy within a secure and caring space. Focusing on individual growth as a cornerstone for a healthy relationship, I guide partners towards self-awareness and mutual respect, empowering them to enrich their shared journey. My role is to facilitate this path of exploration and renewal, equipping couples with the insights and strategies necessary for a loving and resilient partnership.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships come in all shapes and sizes, and like snowflakes, no two are unique. What's come between the you and your most important relationship(s)? Are you arguing more? Do you spend the day feeling irritated? Are you no longer able to trust your partner? Is your partner making unreasonable demands, or is your partner not able to meet your reasonable expectations? Are you listening to each other? Do you feel understood?
There is no "single" way to treat a relationship. Let's learn what's going on with yours and identify what's needed (communications? intimacy? sex? boundaries? expectations?).

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
As humans, we are wired for connection. Navigating a healthy, fulfilling long-term relationship is challenging and requires all parties to be willing to grow emotionally.
As someone who believes in and supports a diversity of relational styles including monogamous, ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous, etc. we can work together to help you craft the right communication skills for whatever type of relationship you are developing with your partner or partners. I believe the most essential piece for a thriving union is direct, honest, and kind communication between individuals. Recognizing that we live in a world with a vast range of gender identities and sexualities—including queer, gay and lesbian, bisexual, asexual, and straight—I am invested in helping you identify the specific issues you will need to address in order to achieve a more well-rounded partnership. Together we will determine and implement the tools necessary to cultivate an open and connected dialogue within your relationship. These skills will allow you to generatively deal with topics like sex, ethical non-monogamy, finances, children, and careers (to name a few).

Michael Pezzullo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We all seek connection. Finding new relationships can dramatically shift one’s sense of self, leading to greater self acceptance and self cohesion. One aspect of therapy is learning about your attachment style—how relationships in family of origin include the way you form relationships in adulthood.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I provide couples therapy to partners who want to deepen their relationship and overcome challenges. In some cases, an event has shaken the relationship; in others, couples want to work on making their bond the best it can be. Marriage counseling can make a huge difference, whether there are significant issues or just a feeling that things could be (or have been) better. Marriage counseling and relationship therapy often shows relatively fast results.

Tracy Sondern
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT #135825
I enjoy working with couples and helping them to reconnect. It brings me joy to see a couple “graduate”. I am trained in The Gottman Couples Method, a science-based method developed by John and Julie Gottman. John Gottman created the Love Lab in the 1970’s where he studied real couples. The result was that he could predict with 90% accuracy who would stay together and who would divorce and why. Because of this, it is a highly effective method of helping couples remedy the problems that have developed in their relationships, and I have seen how effective it is in my own practice. Aside from this training, I bring a wealth of lived experience to my work. At 61, I have been married for 32 years and have experience with many of the life issues that affect couples such as cancer, infertility and adoption.

I've been trained for three years in using a relational approach to couples work. Relationships require patience, skill, and support.

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.
