Relationship and Marriage Counseling
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.

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.

Relationship issues cover a vast array of areas in our lives. We have relationships with our immediate families, extended families, friends, romantic partners, co-workers, and supervisors -- just to name a few! At times, these relationships can become complex, or even toxic to our well-being. Understanding how to best navigate your current relationships, and even uncover patterns of relating, can greatly improve your relationships and reduce overall stress in your life.
